Winter Roses - 庭便り

バレンタインにはバラを剪定して,セント・ジョージの日にはスイートピーを植えるんと良いんだよ、、、数年前に教えてもらってから、毎年この時期になると、庭にあるバラをがっつり剪定しています。
というわけで,今年も恒例の剪定。
寒空の中で咲いている姿に,剪定するのを止めてしまおうかと思ったけど、これもさらに強い成長のためと,思いきってはさみを入れました。でも、捨てるなんて出来ません!先日の雪でのヤケドが痛々しいです。

また今年も,会えると良いね。



Hard pruning on roses should be done around St. Valentine's Day, and planting Sweet Pea around St. George's Day is good - Since I learnt this gardening calender, I have been religiously following this routine. Hard pruning means HRAD pruning - so when I do this, I do it properly.
This year, there were still some roses around in the garden, despite it was already middle of Feb! The moment of 'Shall I, or shan't I' came, but it was for stronger growth for Spring - but I had to save them in a vase. Ouch, looks painful - damage caused by the snow the other day.

Cannot wait to see you again in the Summer!
