I have rose bushes extending across a 50 long, 25 foot tall wall that require pruning at least three to four times a year. Needless to say, standing at the top of an extension ladder with my little pruners, constanatly shifting the ladder in 18" increments along the wall was getting old. This pruner, however triples my reach and significantly decreasing my pruning time. The cut and hold feature is great for keeping rose clippings (and sharp thorns) from falling on your head or catching on the vines below. This pruners is sharp and requires less effort to cut than my hand pruners. Highly recommended!

I love this tool. I have very tall and large roses and can now prune the tops without using a ladder. It also holds on to the thorny branch that I just cut until I drop it in the garbage can. No more pricked fingers. Definitely worth the price.

These scissors are unbelievable. I don't think there is anything they can not cut. My husbands uses them for cutting tin. Cutting like a hot knife through butter. Highly recommended.

Wonderful scissors--I could not be more happy with them! They represent great value, for the price...much more durable than others I've purchased for approximately the same price.

[...]This is no exaggeration - mine broke on the very first twig I tried to prune with it. It is cheaply made, does not work well when new, and will certainly not last.

This is my favorite tool for cutting flowers because it holds the flowers it cuts. Other things I like are that it is light and easy to hold in one hand and cuts cleanly. The feature that makes this pruner outstanding is that cut flowers do not fall out of reach when using it. The pruner holds the cut flower securely so it can easily be retrieved it from the jaws of the pruner.

I was very disappointed with the rose pruner especially considering the cost of it. It is not effective at cutting anything but the smallest of branches and does not look like it will hold up to long term use. I wish I had returned it.

This ARS Long Reach Rose Pruner, 2-Foot Reach LA-15006, is a fine tool and I am happy with it (although overpriced perhaps). However, be warned that the picture of a scissor-like tool does NOT match the actual tool. It is not scissor-like all al except for the handle. The cutting end is like a hand pruner with a quarter-moon blade (very sharp).. The scissor-like handle operates the cutting/holding blade via a wire running through the aluminum shaft. That said, I like it and recommend it. But, Amazon should be more careful in its depictions and in its descriptions !
