Roses: What to do in January Summer pruning is carried out towards the middle of this month; this applies to roses that have grown too high or dense, have uneven growth or need to be tidied up January roses Watering: Keep to the watering schedule unless there is regular rainfall. Following a long, two-week period of rain, the leaves become ‘soft’ and your bushes need to be watered often and then slowly acclimatised to dryer conditions. Keep the beds well mulched. Fertilising: Fertilise with Ludwig’s Vigorosa or other rose fertilisers. Don’t sprinkle fertiliser over wet leaves. Pest and Disease Control: Stick to the preventative spray regimen, but keep a close look out for beetles and red spider mite which sometimes require a stronger remedy. HOW TO SUMMER PRUNE Removing forked and twiggy growth and cutting back a little opens up space for the roses to grow. Review each bush and only cut back those that are well covered in leaves. Make sure the part of the bush below the cut is still fairly well foliated. Bushes that are defoliated because of black spot on their upper leafy growth can be groomed by cutting out completely denuded stems on the inside as well as competing stems. The remaining stems should have leafy tips and the tips of these are best pinched off; this encourages the rose to sprout lower down. Once the new shoots are about 20cm long, the bush can be cut down to just above these new shoots to a more manageable height. The height of tall roses can be reduced by undercutting as long as there are leaves on the stem below the cut. If it is very hot and dry, carry out the undercutting in two stages about a week apart. This will result in the least sap flow disturbance; when the sap flow slows down it heats up under the bark, causing sunburn. 6. Get rid of the water line in a flower vase by filling it with a solution of half water and half white distilled vinegar, or by soaking a paper towel in white distilled vinegar and stuffing it into the vase so that it is in contact with the water line. 7.

Dan word ’n vroueliggaam gevind en sy word Bennie en Vaughn se probleem toe daar besef word sy’s ’n buitelander: Alicia Lewis, ’n kunskenner op die spoor van ’n ou skildery. Wanneer Lithpel Davids die naam Billy de Palma in Alicia se skootrekenaar vind, weet Vaughn daar’s gróót fout. Want hy ken vir Billy, en Billy is bad, bad news . . . Bennie needs to buy a ring – and not just any old ring for his Alexa. But eish, the money . . . Then a woman’s body is found and she becomes Bennie and Vaughn’s problem when she turns out to be a foreigner: Alicia Lewis, an art expert on the trail of an old painting. When Lithpel Davids finds the name Billy de Palma in Alicia’s laptop, Vaughn knows they’re in for it. Nuwe Afrikaanse rolprent: Hoener met die rooi skoene Riller-komedie met vreemde kinkels en kabels! Terwyl Bonnie van der Byl (Lizz Meiring) ontvangsdame van die internasionaal bekende De Waal Teateragentskap tot laataand op ‘n stormagtige nag lustig en ongestoord by haar lessenaar oor die telefoon voortklets, lê die lyk van haar baas, die suksesvolle, maar minder gewilde Mosselbaaise sakeman en impresario Du Toit de Waal (Deon Lotz) met ‘n dolk in sy rug op die kantoortafel agter haar rug. Sy skakel die polisie en by nadere aanskoue van haar bloeiende baas, word sy oudergewoonte flou. As sy met die flitslig van Konstabel Mickey Mentz (André Weideman) in haar oë bykom, is die lyk skielik skoonveld ... Hiermee is die tafel gedek vir ‘n vinnige bewegende, spannende skreeusnaakse riller-komedie vol verrassende kinkels waarin die ontvangsdame met haar bekkige papegaai Napoleon en die hoogs beneukte, geïrriteerde en grieperige speurder Kaptein Hendrik Greyling (Louw Venter), sentraal staan. Die misterie rondom die naam Hoener-met-die-rooi-skoene word vroeg in die verhaal reeds tot groot vermaak van Konstabel Mentz opgeklaar. Tydens ondervraging waarin al die karakters op kantoor in ‘n klousterfobiese ruimte saamgegooi is, word allerlei geheimpies ontbloot ... Cecilia de Waal (Dorette Potgieter,) die aantreklike veel jonger vrou van die baas, het meer as een skelmpie, die ouer privaat-sekretaresse Miss Enith Conradie (Lida Botha) is jarelank al verlief op die baas, die ligsinnigeRoxie Roos (Laré Birk) is die baas se minder gewillige pretpoppie op kantoor, die sjarmante Percy Celliers (Geon Nel) doen nie sy werk nie en die ouer klerk Harold Berrington-Smith (Flip Theron) is ‘n ‘tail gunner’. In hierdie storm van verdagmakery en beledigings verskyn die baas se lyk skielik perdfris en gesond op die toneel ... Sake neem ‘n interessante wending as die lyk van Cecilia se skelmpie Jacques Petout (Jacques Theron) met ‘n meswond in die rug op op die Mosselbaaise sandduine ontdek word ... en nog ‘n slagoffer, ook met ‘n meswond, reg voor Bonnie se oë by die kantoor-hysbak inmekaar sak. In kompetisie met die kaptein om die moord(e) op te los, word Bonnie die selfaangestelde speurder wat bewyse soos ‘n selfoon, sleutel en ‘n bebloede nota as troefkaart gebruik om die erg koorsige speurder ore aan te sit. Haar planne loop sleg skeef as die ontmagtigde Kaptein Hendrik Greyling tydens die hoogtepunt van die storm in ‘n geslote kas opeindig, terwyl die moordenaar besig is om haar met ‘n rekenaarkabel te wurg ... Hoener Met Die Rooi Skoene is ‘n riller-komedie, met onverwagse kinkels in ‘n netso vreemde kabel ... en ‘n infame leuen wat eers teen die einde nek-omgedraai word. In teaters op 27 Januarie
