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. But roses need a major pruning in late winter or early spring when they're first starting to send out new growth. The new growth is usually little red buds or shoots that will turn into new stems and leaves.
The Spring. Rejuvenate roses with a hard annual pruning. Prune to shape and clean out dead wood, and worn out, weak, spent canes. Spring is the time to correct problems with overall form, or reduce the height of roses that are outgrowing their space. Most roses bloom on new wood, and tend to have reduced bloom on old canes.
