These are very busy days in any garden.I am too very busy while doing the job in the garden i snapped some pictures.One thing i have hired my professional grower instead of mali.The farmers do the job better than any mali the only thing they don,t know about the garden plants as they are not involve with such plants.But its better to bring your farmer instead of so called malis.the picture quality may be poor due to low light as i have taken all the pictures in evening.

Umer Bhai do you recommend pre-fall rose plants pruning or not?
Its seems that you doing for Mary Gold Incas' display?
Whats the other choices for this season?

Umar Bhai one suggestion. If you put something like Bajri/Marble chips on the rose walkway it would look very nice

Well Rafique sb i,l never recommend pre fall pruning of roses.I love Mari golds but yes if you want some thing else Cocks comb & Zinnia can also be planted for fall flowering display till first frost.This year too much rain has damage some of my golds.I,l plant the second batch next weekend Inshallah.
Farhan sb your suggestion is not bad, but bajiri or any other material like that also creates a problem.it drop slowly into the the beds & then you have to pick it back from the beds.I am very sad that i lost a very healthy Rose bush this year to heavy rains.

Good Omer,

You have a large space and needs a lot of effort, what is the night temperature these days in Mardan ?

Oh...Umar Bhai i have lightly pruned roses at average height of 2.5 to 3.0 feet.
What could be the bad consequences of this pruning? any cautions or pre cautions?

@ Rafique : if you prune now they will bloom in March, if not pruned they will bloom in Dec.

Isn't pruning recommended in Dec for spring/Mar blooming?

@Rafique Bhai. You shouldn't have. It will be a compromise on spring performance as you might not be able to prune again in December.
