Pruning is an important and necessary step in growing roses. Pruning keeps the plant healthy. It promotes new growth, removes dead, broken or diseased canes and trains roses to a desired shape. Pruning encourages flowering, either more blooms or larger blooms, and is essential to keep modern rose varieties blooming repeatedly all summer long. pruners tend to crush the stems.

| Adding A Birdbath To Your Lawn Or Garden
|
|
By Rick Rouse
|
|
Every child knows that running under a sprinkler or
being sprayed by a water hose is a fun way to cool
off on a hot summer day. Cool water always makes the
summer's heat tolerable and even enjoyable. You can
offer the same relief from the heat to the birds in
your backyard!
By installing a simple birdbath, you will make your
yard more attractive while also being able to enjoy
the pleasure of watching a large variety of birds
playing and splashing around in the cool pool of
water.

| Mark Your Bulbs
|
|
If you have different varieties and colors of flowering bulb, make stakes out of old miniblinds and write the color and type on the stake. It is always harder to remember the type and color after they bloom. This is especially helpful when you dig them up to divide them in the fall.
