Having said that, roses are still in fragrant bloom. Snapped this today, I think I will give this one another week though, I didn't have the heart to give this my brutal treatment whilst it's still looking so good.

The mower looks like a little beauty ..What exactly is she ? ..
I take my hat off to you ..Pruning roses is an art to do it properly , way out of my league although I try and do the two I have here at home . I did save my old 12 ft tall dicksonia manfern though.. After the gale we had late last year snapped it off I cut the head off and trimmed the fronds right back and re planted the trunk and trimmed head in a sheltered area near the garage . I watered it every day , gave it sugar as suggested by a landscaper friend and she looks like new fronds might come and open up soon..I'll be over the moon if they do..
On Makita ...Does anybody recall these pearlers from many moons ago
