Rose Care

It's Chop Back Your Rose Bush Day! Time to get out & prune back your roses and re-mulch your beds. Add some Rose Fertilizer or any plant food with a little extra nitrogen and iron in it. Do not be afraid to really prune them back. Leave at least 18 inches above the soil and cut all of the dead branches out. Do not smother the root knot with mulch if it is grafted. That graft needs to breath and get sun. Roses need 6 plus hrs of sun a day. Invest in the Bayer 3 in 1. A little price-y BUT good stuff to combat all the issues that may come up with roses. Roses can be high maintenance but well worth it! Keep your maintenance plan simple so it works for you! *Happy Valentine's Day!* 
Oh Yeah....Repeat this in August. =)
