The rose garden in town is maintained by volunteers. Most of the volunteers are retirees.
And I bet they are all rosarians.
The volunteer gardeners are deadheading the tired blooms.
When a rose has completed its bloom and it is "spent" or wilted, it should be removed. It keeps roses looking attractive and encourages more blooms.
During the blooming season (Spring or Summer), deadheading a rose bush regularly hardens them for the winter.
Some volunteers are removing dead wood off the roses.
A healthy rose has green live stems. The dead wood on a rose bush is significantly darker and does not support new life.
Others are checking the leaves for pest and diseases.
Fungal diseases such as mildew, blackspot or rust, are common in roses. The leaves may be attacked by aphids or scale or thrips.
I saw a volunteer gardener weeding, and checking the drip system.
The town is lucky that there are people who devote some of their extra time to helping the community!
