My old rose gardening gloves were finally wearing out after many years of use so I began my search for replacements. I absolutely loved my old gloves and had them so many years I didn't even remember where I purchased them. I looked and looked. Read review after review and finally decided on these. Am so glad I did. They are heavier than my old gloves but still feel comfortable and not too thick/bulky in the hands. Are flexible enough to allow for detailed pruning of my rose bushes. Arms are nice and long to prevent scratching/thorn damage to skin. Have not had any thorns come through the gloves when pruning.I now used these gloves for all pruning and trimming of my shrubs ... not only roses. Great for picking up lawn debris too as they protect not only my hands but arms as well.Am going to purchase another pair to keep in the wings so I will have them on hand when the original pair wears out. I think they will last quite a while as they are very well made and seem quite sturdy.I wear a size 7 glove and purchased the small - they fit great - not too big and not too small, but just right!

Fir Tree gloves are by far the very best quality garden gloves that are functional for the most difficult tasks. I've had a pair for more than 18+ years and their condition is still very functional after all these years.I live on approximately 3 acres of river property in Florida with saw palmetto plants, palms, shrubs, trees, etc. These gloves are sturdy and the height of the gloves protect the arms from scratches and cuts from the sharp teeth when trimming the palmetto plants, the itchiness of trimming loropetalum, handling of carrying branches, etc.They also protect from getting poison ivy when reaching into overgrowth. The hand portion of the gloves are pliable enough to hold and pull out fine weeds, or plant small plants. They also have a size small enough to fit my hand.These are the very best gloves for all garden and acreage needs. I recently purchased a new pair just in case they ever get discontinued. I can't imagine not having them available if my old ones ever wear out.I highly recommend Fir Tree gloves!

and I've won. I've lost enough blood to roses and citrus over the years to stock a blood bank. Since I've had to start taking low-dose aspirin, it's only gotten worse. What bothers me is why I never thought to buy these gloves. Got them yesterday and tried them out immediately on two of our worst rose bushes, wild roses with heavy-duty thorns right down to the ground, low branches, and the worst, toughest weeds growing right at the base. The weeds were there because weeding around those bushes was impossible. I'd had many pairs of cheap leather gloves that tore and punctured immediately under the onslaught of roses, and my forearms would come out looking like I'd tried to slit my wrists in the dark.So I splurged and bought these. Yesterday I was able to clear out the bases of those roses without a scratch or puncture on my hands or forearms. The gloves are so soft I don't know how they resist holes being poked in them, but they do. And the gauntlets are kind of amazing - nothing can get through them, yet they're soft enough to wipe the sweat off your forehead. The fingers are fine enough to allow me to pull weeds - no other gloves have let me get a firm grip. My great hope is that these gloves last at least a year.The roses weren't going to give up without a fight, of course. I wonder if Fir Tree makes shoulder-length gloves. BTW, I'm male, 6-2/185lbs. - my hands aren't huge, but I'm glad I ordered the XL. Guys with bigger hands might have a hard time getting these on.NOVEMBER 15, 2015 NOTE TO THOSE WHOSE GLOVES HAVE A DEFECT, LIKE SEAMS UNRAVELING ETC. That happened to mine after 8 months of use - though I used them only about 10 times in that period. I contacted the seller through my orders page and attached a photo of the hole, and Isabel at Fir Tree replied immediately and arranged to send me another pair free - even after 8 months, and I didn't even have to return the defective pair (not that I want to use them since you know rose thorns, and agave thorns, and citrus thorns will make a beeline for that hole - that's just how life works). These days on the Internet, excellent customer service is crucial - too many vendors don't realize this fundamental fact, but Fir Tree does. IOW, really caring about their product and their customers' experience. If I could give them another 5 stars for customer service, I would.

I've had these gloves for about 6 weeks and use them daily for tending to my roses. While i have several pairs of gardening gloves, these are my favorite for the following reasons:1) The extra small size fits my hands quite well, and a small-enough glove is hard to find.2) They are thorn-proof. I haven't been poked through the gloves once by the tiniest or largest thorns.3) The length makes it easy to deal with large rose bushes that get a bit wild and need a mid-summer haircut.4) They full leather/suede means the gloves are breathable and don't feel terrible to wear in 90+ degree heat.5) They are attractive gloves--the quality for what I paid far exceeded my expectations. I have the grey pair and they are more of a pale green-grey, which is quite lovely.6) They clean up nicely. After a particularly aggressive day of gardening, I needed to do more than the usual, brushing-off of dirt. I washed them in a cold bucket of water with a bit of castile soap and a bit of salt. I rinsed them, hung them to dry and they look good as new.For all of these reasons, I will likely purchase another pair and recommend them if working with roses. The alternative use of trimming cat claws isn't one I've yet attempted with my three fur-beasts, but I may indeed attempt the task with less trepidation than usual.
