Weather, feral hogs rough on Tyrrell Park rose bushes

In a winter full of Aprils, Tommy Hebert hopes cooler weeks ahead will slow the blooming of the roses at Tyrrell Park.
Hebert, a member of the Golden Triangle Rose Society, was at the park on Monday snipping bad-looking branches from the park’s rose plants.
“Everything is in bad shape because of the heat. And stem canker,” Hebert said.
He and five other men worked the garden, trying to reclaim it from scraggly stems and to repair the beds, which have been ripped up by feral hogs that were looking for earthworms and grubs in the soft soil.
