Spring is a busy time of the year in the garden with lots to do, including many plants requiring pruning to boost growth and encourage more flowers. Now is the perfect time to prune roses, removing dead flowers and reshaping just as new growth begins. To get the garden looking its best, Wilkinson Sword’s range of pruning tools will ensure clean, sharp cuts that help protect plants from damage and encourage a blossoming garden!
Start by removing older, dead, or diseased growth. For rose shrubs, it’s recommended to trim the main healthy stems by roughly a quarter, whereas when pruning bush roses, it’s best to cut back to about half. For pruning woody, older branches and stems, Anvil Pruners are the go-to tool. The teeth on the anvil block grip the wood securely, while the high carbon, non-stick blade delivers a clean, defined cut.
When cutting lush new growth or delicate stems, the Comfort Bypass Pruners are ideal as they feature high quality SK5 Steel blades for sharp, clean cuts. The cast aluminium handles, with soft grip inserts, combined with the sharp blades make the perfect pruners for clean, comfortable cutting.
As its flowers die throughout the season, continuous deadheading will promote further growth on repeat blooms. The Straight Pruning Snip has a lightweight design with a comfortable soft grip for delicate pruning that requires a clean cut. With the high-quality, hard chrome SK5 Japanese steel blade, and a long delicate nose, these snips are ideal for precise pruning, flower cutting, and deadheading.
When tackling particularly thick stems, the Ultralight Bypass Loppers are the perfect mix of comfort, precision, and lightweight usability. They are designed to be exceptionally light to ease fatigue while gardening, and at just 450g they are 50% lighter than a standard pair of loppers!
This spring, have the best tools on hand to help the garden thrive. With extra care put in now, the plants will grow to be happier and healthier! Find the perfect tool for any gardening task at https://wilkinsonsword-tools.co.uk
