This tutorial teaches you how to prune climbing roses for the best results.

There are a lot of people out there who don't like vegetables, but I would contend that that's because they haven't eaten any really good vegetables.

At one point in the '90s, about fifty percent of the CDs produced worldwide had an AOL logo. About fifty percent of the CDs in my home still have that AOL promise of 500 free hours on them. Though they never got me to join their internet service, I did get a lifetime supply of coasters. Thanks to the rise of high-speed internet access and bigger and better hard drives, there's no reason for companies to snail mail any more of those obnoxious plastic discs.

A slight adjustment for making one right and one left, then they are worked the same.
