Simone Rocha swears by these $46 Japanese pruners for stunning rose cuttings – a master gardener agrees she 'would never use anything else'

When she's not dressing the most fashionable people in Hollywood, designer Simone Rocha likes to spend time in her garden. Just like her designs, her garden tool of choice, the Niwaki Secateurs Pruners (from Goodee), is at once avant-garde and classic.

She explains her love for the Japanese gardening tool in an interview with The Strategist. Simone states: 'I love being in my garden, and I love growing flowers. I have inherited some rose bushes that were there before, and then I have some that have been planted. For me, the biggest gift to oneself is taking the cuttings from your own garden to bring into the house. You just feel so smug. I like to do all the deadheading of my roses. It’s a very cathartic experience, but incredibly enjoyable. And these secateurs are incredibly nice.'
