Today we had to prune roses in the rain at short notice.
A very strong typhoon is approaching from the south and is forecast to pass close by early next week. We have not pruned the roses at all since the rose season in May, and have let them grow as long as they can, so there are many branches up to two metres long, which could be badly damaged by the strong typhoon winds if they are left as they are.
The few roses that were still in bloom were cut and placed in a vase.
After the typhoon has passed, I would like to prune the roses again on a sunny day to make the autumn roses bloom nicely.
今日は急遽、雨の中でバラの剪定をしました.
非常に強い台風が南から近づいてきていて、来週初めにすぐ近くを通過する予報が出ているためです. 五月のバラの時期から全く剪定はせずに、枝を伸ばし放題にしていたので、2メートルほどの長い枝がたくさん出ていて、そのままでは台風の強い風でバラの木がひどく傷つく可能性があります.
少し咲いているバラの花は、切り花にして花瓶に生けました.
台風が過ぎてから、秋バラを綺麗に咲かせるために、お天気のよい日に再度、剪定をしたいと思っています.

Thanks for your comments. The weather is not as good as we would like it to be. We can only pray.
