rose care

Hello fellow gardeners, here are some tips for your roses.

Deadhead:  this encourages your roses to grow more secondary bloom cycles, cut 1/4" from an outward facing 5 leaflet.  roses love water, keep soil moist but not with standing water.

Mulch:  cover soil with 2 to 3 inches of mulch.  Keep mulch away from the main stem, mulch keeps down the weeds and keeps the moisture in the soil

Fertilize:  roses love to eat
