More About The Event
The art of pruning is a vital task that ensures your roses stay healthy, bloom brilliantly, and remain the stars of your garden. Pruning encourages gorgeous blooms and keeps your rose bushes feeling young and vibrant. However, the trick is to prune at the right time, and in Gauteng pruning can start in mid-July, but if you’re in a super cold region, you might want to delay until mid or late August.
Halmar will provide more information on when to prune your roses, how and where to cut the stems and how to take care of your roses during their dormancy stage.
You are welcome to bring your questions and even rose blooms that need identification or leaves that may have been affected by pests or disease.
