Pinch That Wilting Violet

Most roses are not especially happy in the extreme heat of mid-to-late summer. And, come to think of it, neither are most gardeners. But pruning some roses is something you might want to consider this time of year. 

Early February is an excellent time to prune repeat-flowering roses.

So far, this has been a relatively mild winter, as a result many of the tropical plants in our landscape get really big by July.
