I did a serious rejuvenation prune on all of Mrs. J's roses this week. I only have a couple of photos of 'Tiffany'. I'll take photos of the others after this storm passes.

This is what the rose looked like in 2013

This is what it looked like last year. It looks really healthy and productive, but it only had old wood at the base

These are photos of what was left after I finished pruning

I could have taken it down more, but decided to wait and see what the rose wanted to keep ... Smiling I can always take it down more next year. I can't glue canes back on after I've cut them off ... sooooo
I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
