Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is a condition that causes pain over the outside of your upper thigh (or thighs). The cause is usually due to inflammation or injury to some of the tissues that lie over the bony prominence (the greater trochanter) at the top of the thigh bone (femur).
Step 1. Prune your autumn sage twice a year in the late winter after all flowering has ceased and again in August to keep the plant more compact in size. Step 2. Shear the plant to just 4 inches above the crown during the winter pruning session. Clear away all of the cuttings to make room for spring growth to emerge.
Don't forget to remove any dead canes when you cut the bushes back. Fertilize the bushes immediately after this pruning. The Knock Out family of roses, and other excellent everblooming landscape roses and old garden roses, are great additions to our landscapes. Don't forget to prune them later this month or by early September, along with hybrid tea, grandiflora and floribunda roses.
