Nonsense. I do what I want.

Then how do you explain your butchered rosebushes? You WANT your sister
to trim your rosebushes her way instead of yours?

Good question. Here's the answer. She paid for the gardeners. She
wanted my yard to look good and didn't care what I wanted and she
didn't care what it cost.

Ok. So your sister is in charge of your yard. She pays, so she gets to
call the shots.

Hope you enjoy the crew cut on your rosebushes.

It would have been rude of me to say, "GET THESE ****ING GARDENERS OFF
MY PROPERTY AND DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE, DUMBASS."

This reminds me of an ancient Chinese proverb that I once made up. It
goes a little something like this, "Don't kick a gift horse in the
mouth."

Sensible. OTOH, pruning rosebushes isn't brain surgery. They SHOULD be
cut back to big stems in January, at least that's the way they do it
around here, and when the flowers die you cut back to a reasonable-size
stem just above a leaf that points the direction you want the new growth
to grow. Roses are easy -- all they want is water and sun.

Sun Tzu said a lot of smart stuff.

I just trimmed my big backyard and medium-sized sideyard rose bushes
last week. I cut out the dead wood first, then thinned out the
crossing branches, favoring those that showed new growth. I wanted to
cut back more, but the big bush has some fresh blossoms up over my
head.

Right.

Brains are soft and squishy while rosebushes have all those thorns. You
don't even need gardening gloves to do brain surgery.

No. I did not. But it would have been rude to kick her off my
property. She was trying to do what she thought was right.

Bull. You should never trim rosebushes. Rosebushes are natures
barbed wire. You should have them around the houses, especially under
the windows. Plant them around the perimeter to keep away unwanted
guests, especially dogs and cats. (Cats hate rosebushes.)

Around here they like the snow, too.

I didn't know you read Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu is strictly for military

I have bougainvillea and oleander along both sides of the driveway. I
trim them just enough to keep the passageway open.

Only for military purposes.

You dumb****s simply don't understand Horvath code. Being Bohunk
white trash, Horvie has predictably had a thing going with his sister
his entire life. "Rosebush" is code for man bush. Horvie's sister
just got tired of Bohunk hair all over her man and had him manscaped.
Why am I not surprised?
