Auntie Em, Auntie Em ... guess what?!
So I've got news that turns the rose-gardening world on its head.
Ready?
Deadhead at the neck.
That's right!
Since time began, we've been making our cuts at the first leaf-bearing five leaflets.
No more! says the Royal National Rose Society. They did a trial in England and deadheading the rose at the neck "radically affects its rebloom."
Radically!
I'm going to try it this year.
Oh-kay. That's enough excitement from the City of Roses for one morning.
