With family caregivers rising 45% in a decade, the U.S. faces a breaking point. Colorado’s voter-approved paid leave program is proving that caregiving and financial security can go hand-in-hand.
AARP Colorado will be under the dome during the 2026 Colorado General Assembly and advocating for legislation that empowers Coloradans 50-plus to live healthy lives, foster livable communities, and have strong support if they become caregivers.
There is a mix of perennials and shrubs that should not be pruned before winter. Keep in mind that any pruning on a plant encourages growth. Pruning stimulates a growth hormone called an auxin. If you prune the top of a rose cane, it will stimulate growth below the pruned section. Pruning in late fall or winter is risky. The environmental temperatures will not support growth.
