[quote=Anonymous]Don't do any pruning until you know what you're doing. If you're describing them as beautiful, they probably don't need any pruning at all. Most trees and shrubs do not need to be pruned every year. When you are supposed to prune varies by what the tree or shrub actually is. The only thing you should do now is cut off any branches that are completely dead--try to make the cut flush to the branch. Get a couple of gardening books from the library. The illustrations make things a lot clearer. Roses are one of the few common shrubs that need annual pruning, and you've missed the window for that. If you have roses, look up how to cut them back, which you do in late Feb/early March. For the sage, rosemary, and oregano, just cut off bits as you need them for cooking--enjoy![/quote]
