Purchase criteria
material
Rose gloves are supposed to carrier Protect against sting injuries when cutting prickly plants. The best material for this purpose is leather, whereby you should give preference to cowhide or goat leather. Leather is supple and very soft, which gives you a high level of comfort and the greatest possible freedom of movement, but at the same time it is stab-resistant and very robust. Rose or In contrast, shrub gloves made of synthetic materials are less robust and do not last as long.
Coating
Classic gardening gloves are often coated on the palms, for example with latex. This coating is intended to protect the wearer from moisture, for example during ground work such as weeding. Such a coating is not necessary for rose gloves, since you only want to use it to prune dry undergrowth. Instead, it makes more sense if the palms of the hands and fingers are reinforced, as these areas are particularly at risk from thorns.
Size and fit
Another very important purchase criterion is the size of the work gloves, because they should absolutely have a very good fit and sit as tightly as possible - without you of course constrict. Most rose gloves are available in different sizes. "For women" or "for men and women") should pay attention. Women's hands are often narrower and smaller than men's hands, which is why adjusted sizes make sense here.
length
While normal gardening gloves reach maximally over the wrist, rose gloves should have a long cuff. This should lead over the forearms and up to the elbows and thus also shield these areas from cuts and stab wounds. The gauntlets, like the actual glove, should be as tight as possible, but at the same time be as puncture-proof as they are flexible, so that you are not restricted in your freedom of movement.
safety
When it comes to safety, rose gloves have to meet three important criteria: they have to be abrasion-resistant, puncture-proof and impact-resistant. After all, their purpose is to protect the wearer from thorn stings when cutting prickly plants. For this purpose, the manufacturer must use suitable material (e.g. B. Leather) in the appropriate thickness and with reinforcement in particularly endangered areas. Gardening gloves coated with latex are not sufficient for this purpose.
style
Rose gloves are often available with colorful patterns so that your roses have a positive role model of how they should look and bloom. These rose patterns are nice to look at and are much more fun, but they are not necessary.
