Renovate a Rose !



This old rose bush will have profuse flowers next year!  
To "renovate" it:

- First shape the outside with electric hedge shears, 

-Then use a small handsaw or the pruner shown to cut some of the larger, old stems

-Next use the pole pruner to grab the larger cut stems and pull them out (to avoid those thorns!)

-finish by using handheld pruners to cut any larger stubs left on the outside to a side branch

ENJOY your "NEW" Rose Bush....
