Typically this is the kind of result we lawyers can achieve for bankruptcy clients by doing what is known as a âlien-stripâ in a Chapter 13 case where the value of the property is less than the amount owed to the first mortgage.
When To Prune. You can prune off diseased or dead (black or dark gray) wood any time of the year.

The new growth is usually little red buds or shoots that will turn into new stems and leaves.
Alice Aks - CA, Zone 9. After reading all of the above, I was going to mention temperature changes. Here in my colder climate, I get some red rose petals that have that black edge on them. Most of the time it is due to a light frost that gets on the roses on some cold evenings. The edges of the petals get frost bitten and look black and disfigured a bit. How heavy a frost and the timing can cause more of the black edges too. Stan the Roseman Bearrose1954 - Colorado, Zone 5.
