Summer Rose Tips

  • Finger prune those little buds surrounding a center bud so you will have one bloom on each stem – or push off only the center bud to make a spray.
  • Feed with a handful of 20-20-20 or something along that line in midsummer.
  • Water is essential. As the heat increases, more per bush each week. Up to 10 gallons a week! Check on those pots! Keep them moist.
  • Mulch to retain moisture in the soil and keep the top of the soil from drying up.
