The English have the privilege of being the reference in gardening (especially when it comes to lawn care and flower picking!). Promesses de Fleurs has chosen the English company Burgon & Ball for the quality of its materials and its nearly three centuries-old steel manufacturing methods. The company has been working with steel in Sheffield since 1730, starting with a patent for solid steel sheep shears. The production of garden shears and equipment quickly surpassed that of sheep shears, but Burgon & Ball stainless steel tools are officially approved by the Royal Horticultural Society - probably the ultimate reward in gardening.

The steel used for Burgon & Ball tools is alloyed with carbon to give it strength, and with chromium to prevent rust. It is a very precise balance that needs to be found between chromium and carbon, different for each part of the tool. The heat treatment allows for exactly the right hardness of the steel for each tool. Too hard and the metal can break or chip, not hard enough and it will bend or lose its sharpness. The thickness of the steel used also depends on the tool. The thickness of the steel affects the weight, so it is also a balance that the Burgon & Ball company, with its nearly 300 years of experience, has validated to ensure that its tools are both effective and pleasant to use.

Detailed features

Directions for use The florist's pruning shears are a very lightweight and sharp tool for pruning all types of fibrous and thin stems, whether they are hard or soft, like butter. The narrowness of the tool and its very sharp and sharpened blades allow it to penetrate into flower beds to harvest the flowers. It is equipped with a safety catch that allows you to keep it in your pocket without any risk. It is used to cut green or live stems and branches up to 10mm (0.3in). The bypass pruner is composed of two mobile curved blades that slide against each other when the handles of the tool are squeezed. Cut at an angle to prevent water from stagnating on the wound or on a lower bud. Clean the blades with alcohol after use to disinfect them and prevent the spread of diseases. This action also helps to keep them in good condition (the sap of certain plants can attack the blades of the pruners or make them sticky). Store this tool away from bad weather, in a dry place thanks to the cord that allows it to be hung up.
