What has stunning colors, incredible fragrances and are the stars of any garden! ROSES! But how do you keep your roses thriving and blooming all season long? Here’s a couple things you can do for the healthiest rose plants and the biggest bouquets you’ve ever seen!
-If you haven’t pruned your roses, then right now is the perfect time. Grab some sharp bypass pruners and remove any dead or weak wood. For hybrid teas, trim to an outward-facing bud and always at an angle so the water will roll off. Proper pruning helps increase air circulation, prevent disease, and stimulates growth.
-Roses want full sun and consistent water.
-And here’s a secret from garden expert Ciscoe Morris: mix 1 cup Alfalfa Meal and 1 cup of organic rose fertilizer into the soil at the base of each plant every six weeks. This simple trick will have your roses bursting with blooms! Wanna talk more about roses?
