Mulching the Rose Bushes

I’ve been entirely unable to keep up with the weeds in the rose beds on one side of the yard.  Today, we took advantage of the rose bushes being cut back for winter and the weeds being less robust due to winter and weed whacking, and we spruced up the beds.

We laid down landscape fabric, then covered with mulch.

Here are the before pictures:

And here are the after pictures:

I’m much happier with it like this.  We might have underbought a bit on the mulch, so we’ll see what it looks like in a few days.

Now that this side looks so good, I’m definitely doing the beds on the other side of the yard sometime in the next few weeks.
