PRUNE YOUR ROSES .

Roses give a great display of colour during the summer, the end of February /March is the best time to prune roses.

Prune back to an outward facing bud and feed with bone meal or blood fish and bone and then mulch with bark or garden compost,to give your roses a good start this spring and you will have a good display of colour through June / July and August.

All St Bridget's roses are grown on our own nursery in Exeter.

Contact our garden centres for details of varieties and prices on 01392873672 or email sales@stbridgetnurseries.co.uk.

Here is a feature from our Clyst St Mary Garden Centre's Salvage Garden.

It's a water feature made from a bin lid and bike mud guard!

Rainwater collects in the bin lid and when it reaches a certain level it overflows down the mud guard into a lower pond (large bucket). Have a go yourself when you visit - we've left a watering can out so you can pour water.

See our earlier post to find out more about the project.
