medicinewheel:

jeduffey:
My question is, when do you cut your shoots? I have a rose bush in the back yard, I handle the greenery, and the neighbor despises it, so I have free reign on cutting. My recent research says to prune your roses around the time the forsythias bloom. What say you?
lowell:
I have always cut them in the winter. Seems I read some where to cut them in the winter...... when the sap is down??
If I needed some in the summer I would probably cut them and see what happened!!
Pat B:
It all depends on whether you are talking horticulturally or for archery. Ideally you should prune your roses initially just as the new buds begin to swell in early spring(late winter). Most roses bloom on new wood so the more you prune, during the growing season the better the bloom. For arrows, winter is the best time but you can cut them any time of the year. Pat
avraham:
First post here, as a question. Has anyone ever heard of using owl feathers for thier arrows?
