Episode Details

In this episode, Ken Lain, The Mountain Gardener covers why roses and hedges are best pruned in March. Embrace March’s mild days to prune for perfect roses and robust hedges. Old, gnarled rose canes yield fewer, tinier flowers. Trim them back for new growth that promises larger, more fragrant blooms—ideal for the fair. In Arizona’s heartland, timely pruning works with nature, not against it, making your gardening smoother. It’s also the season to shape hedges from Red Tip Photinias to Cotoneasters. Proper pruning now sets the stage for a verdant spring display.
