ARS 120EU-R pruning shears
ARS 120EU-R pruning shears – developed for roses
A rose grower's choice
The 120EU-R was built for shaping rose bushes, where what counts is not raw cutting force but accuracy and a clean cut face. The 10 mm cutting capacity is sized for rose canes and fresh shoots, while the 210 mm length keeps a comfortable distance from the thorns.
Why a clean cut matters
A crushed cut face is an open door to fungal infection. A sharp, hard chrome-plated blade closes the wound in a single stroke, which helps the rose recover faster. Keeping that edge is the job of the ARS SD-100-BT sharpener and regular cleaning.
Also for harvesting and floristry
The manufacturer classifies it for viticulture, fruit growing, harvesting and floristry as well. For a finer, smaller-handed alternative see the ARS 130DX series; for a universal grip, the ARS 120DX.

Frequently asked questions
How thick a branch will the ARS 120EU-R cut?
Up to 10 mm in diameter according to the manufacturer, sized for rose canes and fresh shoots.
Which model do you recommend for thicker branches?
The VS series shears cut from 19 to 25 mm, and the ARS 120DX is a universal choice at 22 mm.

The ARS 120EU-R pruning shears are a 210 mm model for medium hands, developed specifically for rose pruning. The 51 mm blade cuts up to 10 mm, and the hard chrome-plated, high-carbon steel holds its edge over time. For thicker branches, the VS series shears are the better choice.
High Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is sharp, wear-resistant and easy to sharpen. It offers great precision and durability, ideal for professional pruning. Regular maintenance greatly extends its lifespan.
Hard Chrome Coating
Hard chrome-plated blades offer extra protection against rust and wear. The smooth surface resists plant sap and retains its sharpness for longer. Designed for heavy-duty use.
For Medium Hands
An ideal choice for an average hand size. Provides a balanced grip and optimal comfort even during long-term use. If you're unsure about sizing, this is the safest choice for a natural working position.
