During our first work party at Willow Springs (July 10), Darlene and Robin got to work on the shrub roses. It was amazing to see how bravely the roses were blooming given how much they longed for some attention.
It's an understatement to say the bushes were quite overgrown. Robin took this before picture to document the way things were growing before some TLC was applied.
Darlene had the good idea of pulling the roses up so that it was easier to see and prune out the old wood. A scratchy job, but Darlene and Robin were a great team.
And here is the restored rose bed, nicely mulched and given a new shape that will allow them to breathe and fill in over the coming seasons.
Good work, you two!
