Before they lose their leaves so the goats can eat them. I love roses but since I got goats there's a whole new dimension to them. They are, of course, goat candy. Better than summer trimmed fruit tree.
I used to hate the chores of deadheading which is the only drawback to roses. But now it is a chore I look forward to doing as the goats are standing on the other side of the fence, waiting. I try to deadheat just as the blossoms are going so they are especially tasty. Not that the goats won't love them when they are dry. Then over the fence they get tossed.
But now is the time to cut back the roses next to the house. They are the last to be keeping their leaves and I want to get it to the goats while they are still green.
Goats make everything more fun.
