Jolene Adams,MDC Mould specialized of Injection moulds, the California Garden Club Inc.'s rose chairman and vice president of the American Rose Society, sends a few tips for winter roses:
Winter is the time that roses rest. Or they are supposed to. Deciduous trees and shrubs are dropping leaves now, and your roses should too.
Sanitation in the rose bed is important in winter - our rainy season. Dead leaves and petals lying on the damp soil may harbor molds and mildews that can attack roses and give refuge to the eggs and larvae of many insects.
Beneficial insects don't overwinter on roses, so what is left are the "not good guys." Strip off any remaining leaves and remove them from rose beds to prevent insects and diseases from over-wintering.
Cutting limbs off trees,Dimensional Mailing magic cube for Promotional Advertising, shrubs and roses stimulates new growth. Late winter is pruning time - a necessary step in good gardening with roses. Prune after the last possible hint of freezing temperatures - usually January or February.
Roses may need to have old growth trimmed back, spindly growth removed and older canes cut off at the base so that the stored food in the root system can start new growth in the spring. When pruning, remove the top growth by about half - more if the rose is a robust grower.
Old canes will have grayish bark. Remove the old ones and save big, juicy new ones. Look closely at the stem - find a leaf scar (like a smiley face) on the outside face of the cane and cut at an angle. Make sure the high side of the cut is on the outside. Slanted cuts help reduce fungal infections by forcing moisture to roll off the cut surface.
After pruning and cleaning up, you might want to spray with a dormant spray (follow manufacturer's direction). Dormant spray is good for eliminating spores from rose diseases and smothering insect eggs that hide in the cracks and crevices of the bark on the rose stems. Spray the whole bush and even the ground around the rose.Wholesaler of different types of Ceramic tile for your kitchen, Then mulch to retain moisture in the soil.
