Frank Brines, ARS Master Consulting RosarianSpecial to Valley NewsHappy New Year. Let's hope this one is an improvement over 2021.This month I’m going to help you get ready for the major late-winter pruning you should do in late January to late February. I’ll provide details on pruning in my February column. Temecula Valley Rose Society will host a pruning demonstration Saturday, Jan. 22, at Rose Haven Heritage Garden, 30592 Jedediah Smith Road, in Temecula, a few blocks north off Temecula Parkway. Gardeners can also check local newspapers and nursery websites for schedules of hands-on pruning classes at different locations. Bring clean, sharp bypass pruners in good working condition, and be prepared to learn and to lend a hand pruning under experienced direction. Gardeners
