David's workshop on Pruning Shrub roses and the Mottisfont Abbey Rose Garden was a rousing success. Many of the attendees told us it was one of the best and most informative workshops they ever attended. David's pruning method makes it easy to control shrub roses like Old Garden, David Austin and Modern Shrub Roses. He gets the most out of the roses and it's easy!

This DVD of the entire workshop will be an invaluable tool for your rose garden. While there is plenty of information out there on pruning Hybrid Tea roses there is precious little on pruning shrub roses. David's methods were developed over 30 years as Head Gardener of Mottifstont Abbey - recognized by most rosarians as one of the most beautiful rose gardens in the world.

The DVD contains David's entire slide presentation on Mottisfont with his narration (about 100 slides in all), David showing how to prune a shrub rose, David working with groups as they prune, an interview with David recapping his methods plus before and after photos of quite a few pruned roses in different classes. It runs over 2 hours!

"Thanks again for a wonderful day with David Stone. I am not so intimidated to prune my rose bushes now that I understand that by doing so I give them a better/new lease on life. Thank you for offering this wonderful workshop." Stephanie Ryan 9/24/06
