    It’s that time of year again! Spring Pruning in South Florida. Come get a refresher course in best pruning practices, tool care, and garden clean up. Did you know that there are different ways to prune? We prune a climber rose different from a shrub or a Knock Out, etc. Some roses don’t ‘like’ to be pruned, others NEED to be pruned back in the spring. Come learn how to prune your rose bushes and prepare your garden to GROW beautiful roses. Please feel free to bring a rose in a pot to be pruned.
