I look forward to the next couple of weeks when the dozens of buds at

Well up here, now that autumn has emphatically arrived I need to put my
mind to the task of moving the rhododendron from its current cramped
position to a more spacious one. The roses have finished and now its
back to watching the orchids indoors for signs of flowering and stopping
myself from loving them to death.

I hope that my piece might have enthused you to pruning the roses.

You could cut back the rhododendron.
