Word Rose Day
Every year on 22nd September the world celebrates World Rose Day. The day symbolises love, hope and strength, especially for those who are battling cancer.
Roses carry more than just beauty they are resilient symbols of hope, and on World Rose Day they are often given to people facing challenging times.
With Roses being the main focus of this day, it is also a day that we should remember to care for our rose blooms and make sure they are given the right attention to flourish.
If you are pruning your roses here are certain ‘must have’ tools that you shouldn’t be without.
Firstly, a pair of our Okatsune KST103’S, with their razor-sharp blades made with Japanese Steel, these secateurs will glide through rose canes promoting healthy growth for your blooms. Precision is at the top of the list when pruning delicate rose bushes, our Okatsune Secateurs give a clean cut, which reduces the risk of disease, keeping them healthy and robust.
Being so lightweight, you could cut with them for hours! And not know you were using them.
The next item on the list is our Silky Pocketboy during the cold winter months, a Silky Pocketboy will cut through dead wood, hardwood and overgrown branches with ease, the hardened blade will leave behind a clean, smooth cut that will rejuvenate your rose bushes during their next flowering period. So, if your secateurs just aren’t enough to cut the stems on your rose bush a Pocketboy will cut through much thicker and harder stems, up to a diameter of 65mm. It also features to locking angles so you are able to cut in different positions and what’s more it folds away perfectly, brilliant for busy gardeners.
These really are the only two tools you need for that essential rose pruning.
Some tips for caring for your Roses on World Rose Day:
· Deadhead any buds to encourage new flowers.
· Prune in the early morning when they are well hydrated.
· Always remember to feed your roses after pruning to encourage a healthy recovery and creating a bigger bloom.
· Clean your Okatsune Secateurs and Pocketboy after each use to maintain your blades, making sure they are in perfect condition the next time you need to use them.
