Zenport Ergonomic Steel Bypass Pruners

8" Ergonomic handle forged bypass pruner blades have a low-friction coating that allows sap to roll off, reducing gumming and providing rust resistance. Bypass pruners are preferable in almost all situations because the anvil type tends to crush the stem rather than slice it clean. As you probably know, pruning roses isn't difficult. In spring, remove the dead and damaged canes as far back as necessary.
