Hydrangea 'Hamburg'

I pruned a Hydrangea 'Hamburg' in the High Garden, a smaller H 'Preziosa' in the Peacock, and a  smaller Rosa in the barn garden in front of the fig. (See Hydrangea pruning)

H. 'Preziosa'

Then a really old rose next to the ivy shed that I had to change all the rules for - I basically had to leave stems that I wouldn't usually because so much of it had died that it couldn't afford to lose much and every new shoot was precious.
