That is the exact park of my goose encounters, lol. It’s oddly comforting to know I was not their only victim.

I wish you the best of luck in convincing them to leave. If you’re successful, you must share your secrets.
Oh, I agree. I have far too many memories of being chased around parks as a child in Regina by them. I’m not saying they are wonderful creatures, rather that their legal protections limit what we can actually do about them.
Canada Geese are protected by the migratory birds act between Canada, US and Mexico. The only thing communities can legally do is take the eggs so they don’t hatch.
I have a graptoveria that produces air roots constantly, mostly because despite having a perfectly good pot and light source, it does its utmost to grow outside of the pot. Every year I have to chop and prop it to save it from itself.
Don’t give them ideas.
I remember when ‘thinspiration’ websites were common in late 90’s/early 2000’s. It was a toxic cesspool of pro-ana pictures and forums.
Polio has not been eradicated world wide. Afghanistan has the highest rates of polio in the world.
Your rose needs a few things: A repot into a bigger pot, and rich, loamy soil. Bonemeal to restore phosphorus (that’s likely why it’s no longer flowering) Slow release rose fertilizer (can be found at gardening stores)
As for trimming, prune off unproductive or bare branches, and cut off dying flowers. I don’t judiciously prune my roses.
You might not be able to save the badly burned sections. If they are getting worse, just cut them off and save your plants energy for recovery.
Hopefully it can survive! Plants can be surprisingly resilient.
You can grow microgreens, and other green, leafy vegetables with the right conditions: full-spectrum light, deep enough soil, and keeping the soil moist. Lettuce and cabbage are very easy to grow.
In the spring after last frost, just sprinkle some of the fertalized pellets at the base of the plant and gently press them into the dirt. Follow the dosage instructions on the container.
Same goes for bonemeal - just gently press it on top of the soil. You could even cover it with a nutrient rich compost.
When was the last time you fertalized? Roses need to be fertalized 2-3 times a year (get a slow release formula specifically for roses). Your roses might also benefit from bonemeal to restore potassium to the soil. Lastly, is the yellowing because of rot/fungus? Cooler, humid climates cause numerous infections on roses, but are easily managed with garden sulphur.
Not sure if this will save this year’s rose hip harvest, but it will help for next years.
