According to the good folks at the Sacramento Rose Society, now is the time to prune your roses. If you've ever done this, you know it can be a thorny problem (wocka wocka wocka).
This year, when you prune your roses or prickly berry bushes, bring a pair of BBQ tongs with you. Use the tongs to hold the cane with one hand while you prune with the other. Safe and painless!
I think my sleeves will thank you for this tip. I always snag my sleeves when reaching to the back of the rose bushes.
