Learned something cool about rose thorns today

I was trimming roses for a big bouquet order. My hands kept getting scratched up pretty bad. Another florist at the shop told me to try using regular kitchen shears. It cuts the thorns off clean and keeps the stems in better shape.

Yeah kitchen shears are weirdly good for pizza too. I used to mess up the crust trying to slice it with a knife, but the shears just snip right through. My roommate thought I was crazy until he tried it. Now we don't even get the pizza cutter out of the drawer.

Remember my friend who tried to use kitchen shears on a whole pineapple? It was a total mess, but @the_eric is right about them being great for pizza. Those shears are honestly the best for weird kitchen jobs, like quickly fixing up thorny stems.

Did kitchen shears actually work, since I always just used a sharp knife?

Whoa, @wyatt_foster84, you've only used a knife? Kitchen shears are way better for tricky stuff like cutting up a whole chicken.
