Winterizing

I want my roses to go to sleep.

I used to feel bad about that. However, I was told that if roses don't go to sleep in the winter, they wear themselves out and eventually die a premature death.

I don't want that to happen.

So Bob brought the trash can around and I began pruning.

I still have a lot of clean-up to do.

But it's supposed to freeze tonight. I wanted to get the roses ready for their winter snooze.

Shhhhhh! I think they're asleep.
