    Hi ClaraLou no Its not cruel at all,in fact its just the opposite,protecting the Blooms from the cold and rain, its a practice commonly in use among Rose and all bloom show people and especially before exhibitors at Chelsea and Ect:)

    You are so lucky! Up here in Scotland we have masses of lovely leaves but not even the glimmer of a bud in sight!

    Thanks Woo :)

    I know exactly what you mean..I am incredibly blessed by my little garden and I thank God for it (having lived without one for so long it means SO much to me)..even though I'm getting stuff wrong and muddling about I am loving every minute of it!
