I use welder's gauntlets from the box store, just right if you have large hands, and not too expensive.

The Bionic gauntlets fit me perfectly! I don't use them too often, though, preferring to do the bulk of my pruning wearing my deerskin gloves.

Bionic for me too. I also have a pair of WomensWork gauntlets, but the Bionics are my "go to" gloves.

Any glove is better than no glove.

--she of the hands that look like old potatoes because she's too lazy to go make the jaunt out to the garage and get her gloves.

Gloves? You wimps use gloves, lol? I wear my rose scars proudly as badges of honor from working in the trenches!

I had to quit using gloves when I lost the feeling in one hand due to carpal tunnel from my job. (32 years of being a banker and counting a lot money every day by hand will do that. They have machines that do it now. Too late for me though.) Everything feels funny without the gloves on. With them I'm a total klutz. I'd be more likely to injure myself with gloves on now. Probably prune my fingers off!

When I did use them I had a pair of leather workman's gloves I liked because the leather was soft and pliable but also very tough. But no matter what kind of gloves you get eventually there will be a rose that will find a way to stab you, lol!

Thanks so much folks. I'm going with Bionic as I have arthritis. I used the Gardenwebb search engine and got nothing but Googled "pruning gloves" and found GardenWebb posts. Special thanks to karl bapst rosenut.
