Customer Reviews

This is a great teaching video!
"How to Prune Roses" is a clear, easy to understand teaching video. I never "got it" before, but with this in-home horticulturist, showing me, step by step, over and over again, I finally got it! Now, when I need a refresher course, there he is!
Highly reccommended!

Women Can Do It Too!
I pruned roses for years with only one glove, and must say, with the Plantsmiths' clear instruction we can all discard the gloves. I have this recording in VHS format, and it is very clear/easy to follow. It's not a "fancy" recording, but takes you up close to the simplicity of pruning. Anyone can prune successfully (and bare handed) with the Plantsmiths' instruction.

Watch this DVD!
This is an incredibly informative DVD...no frills or fancy productions to get in the way of all there is to learn. Mr Smith casually relates volumes of knowledge about the annual shaping of rose bushes, and true to the title, he really prunes bare handed!, with no blood or curses (unlike my adventures with pruning roses). I hope he plans on making more videos, like how to take care of roses the rest of the year!....James obviously knows what he's doing and should make a series of DVD's for my "How To" library. I can't wait to see my roses this spring!How To Prune Roses "Real Men Prune Roses Bare Handed"
