Are roses a good birthday gift?

Yes, roses make a brilliant birthday gift. They feel personal, thoughtful, and celebratory all at once. A rose is not just a bunch of flowers for the day, it is a living gift that keeps growing and flowering year after year. Many people love the idea that every time the rose blooms, it brings back memories of that birthday. Choosing a favourite colour or a variety with scent makes it even more meaningful.

How do you prune an anniversary rose bush?

An anniversary rose is pruned in much the same way as other garden roses. The main prune takes place in late winter or early spring, usually February or March in the UK, just as new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems first, then cut the remaining healthy stems back to an outward-facing bud. This keeps the plant open, well-shaped, and full of flowers. A light tidy-up during summer, removing spent blooms, helps encourage repeat flowering.
