Rose Garden Rescue - Neglected Public Garden

I'm talking to Josh, a rose enthusiast who has taken on the challenge of saving a neglected public rose garden in Bend, Oregon. Planted in 1948, the garden once had hundreds of roses on display, but over time they've become weedy & overgrown. With a little annual care, I'm sure they can once again become the focal point of Bend's scenic Pioneer park on the banks of the Deschutes river. In this video we'll discuss some of the next steps in pruning the "lanky" roses to encourage fresh branching, and I'll answer some general questions about roses.

Many thanks to Josh for taking the time and effort to arrange this video call, and for collecting video we could share on YouTube. My hope is that the discussion can provide encouragement to anyone who is in the midst of their own "garden rescue" whether private or public.
