President Steenkamp: Waking up the Roses

Those of you who have had the pleasure of enjoying our stunning gardens at Royal Roads know our Rose Garden is a feast for the senses – you can smell the sweet scent of Perdita and Constance Spry roses long before you see them. Those fragrant summer blooms are thanks in large part to the work Gardener and Rosarian Greg Higgs is doing right now. So this week I’m pleased to share an instructional video from Greg, who shows us how and when to “wake up” your roses with a good hard pruning.
