Pruning time

10 years ago

This week is pruning time. We've had such mild weather I have leaf break but I waited to prune until now. Last year we had a hard freeze with ice and snow the last weekend in Feb and I worried about damage but I didn't have any. So, this week I prune. I'll have several big bundles to put out for the trash men.

Beth I am in SE Tx and I also pruned my roses this weekend so I am hoping for no surprise freezes although if we do the roses should be fine. I can't wait for them to bloom now!

Oh good. This means spring should be coming here soon! I don't prune until April though.

My mid west spot is notorious for late frosts so no pruning until end of April actually. I plant my bare root roses towards the end of March though. This has so far been a very easy winter here, with temps more in zone 7/8 territory. Yesterday I saw my crocus in the front yard in bloom and saw that Forsythia is greening up.

I kinda pruned. Hedging my bets, but the 10 day forecast is Spring like. Roses leafing out all over. I KNOW we'll have a freeze before Spring, but what can you do?

It seems we always have a one more freeze before Easter but it doesn't ever seem to bother the roses so I never worry about pruning in February. I heard an interesting little farmers saying that I had never heard before on the local news that if it thunders in February that there will be a freeze in April. So I will be listening for thunder this month when it rains and checking for a freeze in April lol.
