a rose branch chocked in growth by the hook flic.kr/p/2rezCp3
this branch was long with many flowering sideshoots. it was very sad to cut it off but i had no choice. it was impossible to remove from the hook. all was not lost the branches of fragrant roses were placed in a jug for my home
i had used hooks on the garden fence for hanging potted plants in the early days of the revamped garden flic.kr/p/2rezCp3
when i removed the pots i kept the hooks on the fence and gently hung the branches of roses and pyracantha across the hooks mistakenly not giving it a second thought
last week i realised i'd got a serious problem. as the plants have matured the branches have thickened and the hooks embedded themselves!! flic.kr/p/2rezxQz
immediate action before i lost the lot!
major pruning on the roses along the passage hence no photo of the passage this time. at the end of the garden carefully unhooked the pyracantha branches from their hooks. not too much of a problem except for the first one that was close to the early growth of the shrub. i began to think i might lose the pyracantha that's growing over the back fence. anyway kept at it and eventually released the thickened branch from the hook and all is well
i've replaced the hooks with eyes and twine. later on i'll thread thin wire through the eyes and tie the branches onto the wire with twine flic.kr/p/2reyuLH
