Hmm... interesting. The rose bushes tend to jam my chainsaw...

For trimming excess bolt lengths: oscillating multi-tool for the win.

... a few years ago, when asked to trim a rose-bush, I agreed... and "trimmed" the thing all the way down to the ground with the Sawsall. Thought that would end that whole line of request once and for all.... until the following spring, when that rose bush produced the most gorgeous roses I'd ever seen. So now... trimming the rose-bushes with my Sawsall has become a recurring request. Apparently rose bushes respond well to be assaulted with blunt and reciprocating blades. Or something.

So it goes.

Same experience with our roses. Upon the consultancy of the neighbor's gardening lady, "oh - you gotta cut those WAY back!"
I did so with long-handled pruning shears, but same result; roses darn near exploded from those bushes that summer.
