芍薬とバラ Peony and Rose

2018.5.4

去年は芍薬にバラが覆いかぶさるように育ち、日照を奪われた芍薬は1輪しか咲かなかった。今年は、その経験から、バラを強く剪定し、誘引も工夫して芍薬によく日が当たるようにした。

Last year, branches of a rose grew over peonies, and peonies were not able to receive enough sunshine. Because of that, only one peony bloomed. This year, learning from the experience, I heavily pruned the rose and lead the branches considering the peonies to have them receive sunshine. 

 たくさん咲いた。
The result is a lot of flowers.

強剪定してもバラは去年以上に咲きそうだ。可愛がり過ぎもいけないということだね。
Even I heavily pruned the rose, it has a lot more flowers than the last year. The lesson is too much cosseting is not good.
