I watched a very helpful YouTube video about this and thought it would be a good one to share.

    @Bright star thanks for sharing this useful advice.
    Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    My only disagreement with the video is on limbs with multiple heads.
    If you remove the central head as it dies, it leaves more room for the others to open fully, and seems to make the rest last longer. ( just my observation)

    I tend to remove some of them too, simply to stop the stems from flopping over but as the man says “ your garden, your rules” 😉
