When the forsythia is in bloom, roses you can prune!

When the forsythia is in bloom, roses you can prune. ....at least this is my mother's rule of thumb. Vibrant forcythias (or 'banana trees', as I called them as a kid) are blooming all over the city right now, so I suppose if the saying is correct, it's time to kick off garden season!

This year I need to figure out some plants for the shady side of my garden...any ideas?

  1. They are everywhere! I want to go for a stroll with pruning shears! Borrow some branches from the park. Except I think that's illegal?
