this is Bob and Kitty Belinda of Santa Clarita California today we're going to demonstrate how to prune floribunda roses now in this park way down here these are all floribundas but you'll see they're all different sizes some are short some are tall some are tree roses and then on this side these are all hybrid teas and they're a little bit taller there so Bob is going to begin trimming some of them and for the bushier ones he can just use the scissor type measures and he just goes in there and whacks away at him and he doesn't fool around trying to get individual stems we will bend them out later so he's just going to whack whack whack away he loves doing that don't you Bob and now if he has a taller floribunda it's more like a hybrid tea like this golden hosting over here he will actually use loppers on that we have loppers like down there and but for most of the shorter butcher runs he just uses this is her cutters now let's go up here close and see what he's done what have you done Bob I don't know he's made a mess he has foliage going everywhere so he's gotten everything off and when we go to clean this up we want to remove all of the foliage we don't want to leave any on and that I will actually come back in there and maybe thin out some of the Twiggy growth but we do leave it more Twiggy err let's say the floribundas then we would a hybrid tea so they are trimmed a little bit different than a hybrid tea is done so and then we also some of these tree roses we can actually whack away with the scissors cutters like that the hedge hedge trimmers I guess they're called and we have about 50 60 floribundas that we need to do so that's kind of what we do on the floribundas very easy time-consuming if you have a lot of roses but that's pretty much it
