In the garden with Ian Holland
Right now I'm in a fighting mood because I've been cutting back my roses. They've run rampant during the past few weeks. Roses will continue to flower if you remove dead-heads and lightly prune them over now. Cut back about 20% of each plant. Following this, apply some rose food to encourage the next flush of flowers. Regular dead-heading of annuals encourages further flowering. Just remember to wear protective clothing ir you may end up with badly scratched hands, arms and legs.
