Hello Matt, yes the birdhouse-looking structure is filled with lots of hollow plant material to encourage native bees to nest in them! Some of our native bees nest in holes or hollow tubes in wood piles, dead trees etc, and most make nests in the bare ground. Here is an article from our archives about how to help native bees: "marinmg.ucanr.edu/ASK_US/IJ_ARCHIVE/?uid=823&ds=275".
I'm in Pennsylvania, do I cut them about the same times as his? Mid Dec? I'd like to prune my roses for the first time. I just want to make sure I do it at the right time.
Covid has affected our volunteer time and capacity for video production. Please stay tuned however, as we will resume activities as soon as we can! thank you!
If I didn't really trust this guy, I would be sick right now. Mine are all long shoots taller than me with nothing. Planted last year. Not sure if I have the nerve, but will try it. Does he ever try rooting these cuttings? Seems like a waste not to.
I have a 25’year ok’d July 4th climbing rose that is very susceptible to black spot. I live in So Cal Orange County zone 10b. Is it possible for me to “winter” prune in April to have its first blooms in June and avoid the damp spring? Thank you for your video.
Hi Charli, one of our Help Desk volunteers (and master rosarian) has offered this advice: “pruning can be done this time of year. If you limit watering, new growth can be slowed down.” We also suggest you visit your local master gardeners for advice that is specific to your area and its climate: mgorange.ucanr.edu

In which month, winter pruning should be carried. Please let me know.
What is the little birdhouse shaped item in the garden with the paper tubes? Is that to encourage beneficial insects?
