If you think you have a lot of roses to prune imagine the daunting task of pruning thousands and thousands of roses in a public garden! The San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is one of the largest in America and in fact in 2010 was named America's Best Rose Garden by the AARS.
The garden is suppported by an incredible group of volunteers called Friend's Of The San Jose Garden. They organize events like pruning, plant sales, teaching opportunities and more. Their website is full of great rose information and I advises you to check it out. You can also download their newsletters from the site.
While this isn't a "how to" video I thought it would be a nice break during the cold weather to get inspired by 375 volunteers who love roses and love this rose garden. Enjoy!
Happy Roseing
Paul

Everyone loves roses. If you always wanted to add roses to your garden but were too intimidated by their diva reputation, Roses Are Plants, Too is the blog for you.
Paul Zimmerman has grown thousands of roses for over 15 years and for ten of those years in a sustainable manner. His common-sense approach shows you how to integrate garden roses into your landscape by looking at them as nothing more than flowering shrubs, all the while encouraging you to trust your own "Gardener's Instincts" in the care of these beautiful plants.
You will learn how to prune and train climbing roses, and how to get the most "ka-bloom" out of your shrub, David Austin and Knockout rose bushes. You'll get tips on growing roses organically and trimming them all season to keep their shape. You'll discover the difference between own-root and grafted roses, and more. Much of the instruction will be via videos that Paul produces himself!
Paul Zimmerman ran a rose care company in Los Angeles before moving to South Carolina to start Ashdown Roses. Now he focuses on rose education and teaching via Paul Zimmerman Roses. He lectures, gives workshops, and judges rose trials around the world, and it is this experience he brings to this blog.
Whether you are new to roses or an experienced grower, Paul will open your garden to the vast diversity our national flower offers.
If you have questions about roses and rose care or would like to share your own experiences please visit our Roses Are Plants, Too discussion forum.
