⛅️⛈️ Securing Roses During Storms. ⛈️⛅️
Summer storms can be devastating to roses; when in full bloom the flowers can fill with rainwater, tripling in weight and putting strain on the soft new stem growth. This can cause them to fold, thus cutting off sap and water rising through the plant, effectively pulling a touriquet around that stem.
By using plaited/braided jute twine, we can secure rose bush branches from getting blown around in summer storms, whilst also not damaging them with tight string or wires. Jute string is also 100% natural fibers so doesn't shed microplastics into the enviroment.
