Taking Care of Roses

"Don't let a rose die from its vine." That's a famous quote mentioned to me by our good friend, Joan about roses. This morning, I noticed that a few of the roses had withered. Remembering what she said, I decided to trim them from their stems, removed the dead leaves and old branches in order to produce new and prettier blooms. I did the same thing last year, and lovelier blooms indeed sprung out. Hope it does it again this year. :)
