I went & pruned every single rose in the front yard. I have buds on quite a few of my mini roses (they're in a separate bed), but no buds on the "big" roses yet. But I swear, I really should find a hobby that's less .. bloodthirsty? Painful? I swear every single one of my roses was out for blood today. Even BlueGirl, who's almost thornless, was blood seeking. I should rename them all to piranhas.
