Garden Signs

For me, rose garden in the fall is a little bitter-sweet!
My flowers are small, the leaves are showing signs of wear yet rose gardening I do now will be crucial to the success of next years growth. Lets call insurance rose garden.

The last rose show is over, the day you start getting shorter and the kids are back in school, but as producers of roses, we still have work to do. The four most important tasks of the fall.

Collection and Cleaning
Halt and begin to pay the cleanup. Since the beginning of September onwards no need to fertilize your roses and pots, because they want to encourage new shoots to develop as winter approaches. This is also the period of highest incidence mold problems like black spot and it is time to retire all leaves that show signs of illness and tilting of the beds below to remove all traces black spot or mildew spores. Yes, spend the winter to get rid of them with your trash. Deadhead, keep the beds scrupulously clean and pick away at the damaged leaves.

Re-examine its spraying program
Continue spraying if you want clean leaves and blooms in fall, but kept his spray equipment as your roses begin to enter dormancy. The leaves are starting to curl and drop, rose hips grow darker in color and no new outbreaks are being developed. These are the signs that your rose bush is moving slowly in the latent phase and do not disturb 'till spring "signs are about to rise.

To spray with dormancy spray, usually oil and sulfur, wait until December or January, when the bushes are fully asleep, otherwise store your spray in a dry and safe, and bring the success they see this season and if you can reduce or at least be more environmentally conscious. Does your plan work?

Pruning Re-visited
You should have pruned your roses blooming maturity or only once a year. Your climbers should be pruned to shape now and tied to train to grow in the right direction and shape for next season.

All other rose bushes are simply cut to waist height to stop the wind making are whipped and broken, or worse still, loosen the crown of the forest.
Miniatures can be cleaned of wayward shoots or broken stems and given a short haircut.
Leaves serious pruning until spring, just be prepared for winter storms.

From the plant or plant re - for next year.
Now is the time for planting your bare root roses in preparation for spring growth. It is also a very good time to move roses and re-planting.

Always plant with good soil, with the new fertilizer or manure added, but not add nitrogen based fertilizers at this time of year. A cup of bone meal that helps with the growth of roots.

Bare root roses should be soaked in hot water for eight hours before planting reconstituted immediately after delivery home.

Do not forget to mound up all the rose bushes with soil to protect the crown from winter winds and the possibility to dry. This pile protection is removed slowly as the temperature of hot air in the spring.

As you enter the winter and go dormant roses to remember that any increased gardening measures taken now will have a big effect on what happens in the spring.

Even in the Pacific North-West I have had the occasional flower rose at Christmas and if he does must be in a clean rose bed on a bush pruned and mounds for winter protection.

Consider the four important tasks and its rose garden will thank you for it - next year!
