Winter pruning: the ultimate glow-up for your roses. If you want lush blooms instead of a thorny mess this spring, it's time to sharpen those shears. 🌹 Join the pros at JC Raulston Arboretum on February 3rd for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the fine art of pruning without fear (or excessive plant apologies). Half lecture, half demo, 100% worth it. $25 gets you expert guidance, hands-on practice, and bragging rights come spring. Register now—your roses will thank you.

This isn’t sponsored—just a solid excuse to wield sharp objects responsibly.
