Summarize the following:
By holding off until your roses have neared their full size, you can ensure that they'll be able to withstand having whole sections removed. A mature knockout rose should be about 4 feet (1.2m) tall by 4 feet (1.2m) wide before you begin hacking at it. A fully-grown knockout rose will require the most pruning around mid-February to early March. Young roses, by contrast, only need to be touched up throughout the growing period to remove dead or dying growth. Knockout roses can often go as long as 2-3 years between major prunings, depending on how rapidly they grow and how big or small you like to keep your plant. Look for small buds to begin forming along the stems of the plant. If the existing buds have swelled up but no new growth has appeared, it means the roses are ready to prune. The main pruning period for knockout roses is in late winter or early spring, just as the plant prepares for another season of growth. You can still prune your roses even if new growth has already begun. Buds might start forming early if the winter was especially mild. In this case, snip the growth back to the first dormant bud. Clip one or both canes as needed to get the plant's interior structure growing straight and vertical. Creating some separation between the canes prevents them from rubbing against one other, making the plant look neater and promoting stronger, more lasting growth. By reducing the density of your rose bushes early in the season, you can make sure they continue putting out neat, attractive growth all year long. Thinning out overlapping canes and stems also promotes better air circulation through your rose bushes, making them less vulnerable to fungal diseases. You can cut healthy shoots back considerably without worrying about harming the plant. Doing so will prevent your roses from putting too much energy into maintaining an overabundance of foliage. As a result, it will produce more flowers. Keep in mind that your knockout roses will grow vigorously after being pruned. As a general rule, you'll want to cut them 12 feet (0.300.61m) shorter than you would ultimately like them to end up. Be careful not to get too overzealous with your pruning. Trimming more than half of the healthy, mature canes could cause the plant to struggle to regrow lost foliage, stunting its growth. Maintain the appearance of your knockout roses by giving them a gently rounded, dome-like shape. Be sure to snip any stems or offshoots that extend far enough beyond the foliage on the outer edges of the bush to stand out. To improve air circulation and control the spread of diseases in warmer weather, try trimming your bushes into a rough 'V' shape, leaving them open in the middle.

summary: Wait until the second or third season of growth to cut back your roses. Prune your roses as soon as the buds break dormancy. Start by cutting away overlapping canes. Remove one-third to one-half of the plant's overall size. Trim your bushes to the desired height and width.

Summarize the following:
Your stance is highly important in maintaining your balance. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. This will allow you to move your arms freely without throwing yourself off balance. Make sure you don't inadvertently move in towards the middle when the jumper joins. Your feet should stay still. Having a solid grip will allow you to move the ropes at speed without them slipping. Hold the rope with your thumb and forefinger and curl the rest of your fingers under the thumb. Your grip should be firm, not clenched. If you hold too tightly, this can hinder your movement. Decide which rope will start and begin to rotate. To ensure you and your partner begin rotating at the same time, one of you can say, "Ready, set, go." The first rope can start on "set" and the second on "go." Keep your elbows near your sides with your forearms extended. From the elbow, move your left arm clockwise towards the center of your body in a circle, and move your right arm counterclockwise towards the center in the circle. The circles should not overlap, but should just barely touch in the middle. Your hands should be opposite one another so that when your right arm is up high, your left arm is down low. The circles should span from about your chin to your waist. It is important for the circles to be the same size. Oftentimes, beginners struggle with one arm and are more comfortable with the other. Work on consistently making the same circle with both arms, even though these circles move in different directions. If you are struggling to learn the movement, practice without a rope. Use pencils or sticks or anything that is similar to a jump rope's handles. Practice the movement against a wall, tracing the circles on the wall. This will help you to get comfortable with the rotation without having to worry about the rope or your partner's timing. This will be best accomplished by listening to the ropes. You are looking for a consistent sound. Try counting 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, and stay on beat. When you and your partner hear the same rhythm, you will be able to stay in sync. Make sure the ropes go high enough to encircle the person who will be jumping. The ropes should be taut and graze the ground each rotation. Try turning the ropes at different speeds once you get comfortable with your initial rhythm. The turner will often say, "Ready, set, go." Then the jumper enters on "go." If the jumper is new to Double Dutch, you may want to slow down a bit for them to enter. You can practice it a few times as well so that they get comfortable with the entrance. Once the jumper(s) join in, it is the responsibility of the turners to adjust to their speed. This is why the role of turner is so important; the outcome rests largely on the turner's ability to adapt to the jumper and stay on beat. Just be sure to keep a consistent rhythm as you change pace. Continue to listen to the ropes and to the jumper so that everyone is in sync. Turners often rhythmically chant rhymes. You can recite one such as, "Ice cream soda pop cherries on top, how many boyfriends have you got? Is it 1, 2, 3" You can also make up your own! These chants add to the fun and help you stay on rhythm.
summary: Stand properly. Grip the ropes. Rotate the ropes. Find your rhythm. Have the jumper join. Adjust to the jumper. Incorporate Double Dutch rhymes.
