My haiku in the garden!

‍ ‍

This haiku was chosen as a semi-finalist in the annual haiku contest at Filoli Gardens in Woodside, California (www.filoli.org). I was inspired by a video made by Stephen Reed, head gardener of the Huntington Library. Reed spoke about pruning roses, and how much of our knowledge about rose care comes from the British Horticultural Society. But that knowledge is for the British climate, not other climates, such as the one in Southern California.
