skipinnz: so someone comming along with a chain saw and slashing the tops of them on a very cold day with with thick snow everywhere is not a good idea
Snoopy: I like your choie of gardening implement, if the wife didn't like roses so much it's what I'd use. No matter how careful I am and with gloves on I still get a thorn in the fingers. Thankfully we don't get snow so I can't imagine it as a problem LOL
