Rose Care and Fall Chores
Fall is a good lime lo give your
rose plants the care that will help
them through winter and promote
more flowers nest spring. That’s
advice from Mary H. Meyer,
Extension horticulturist.
If growth this past year hasn't
been what you expected, have your
soil tested. Then you can fertilize
to correct any nutrient deficiencies
or imbalances.
Roses grow best at a pH of 6.0 to
6.5. “Soil with a higher or lower pH
may have needed trace elements
tied up and therefore not available
for plant use,” says Meyer. Soil
test lots are available from your
county Extension service office.
After the first hard frost, prune
back hybrid tea rose plants to 18
inches in height to reduce whipping
by winter winds. In late Novem
ber, mound soil around the plant so
that the graft union is covered by ’

two inches of soil. Bring this soil in
from another area of the garden to
prevent injury to shallow roots.
Remove all dead rose leaves from
the ground as they are often a
source of disease for the next
season.
After the ground has frozen,
further protect plants with oak
leaves, corn stalks or other organic
material that won’t pack down.
This material can be held in place
with a circle of chicken wire or by
old bushel baskets with the bottom
removed. How neat you need to
make this operation will depend on
how visible the rose garden is
during the winter months.
TEN GARDEN
ACTIVITIES FOR FALL
Mary H. Meyer, also says that
fall is an ideal tune for other
garden activities.
1. Plant hardy trees, shrubs,
lawns, bulbs, and herbaceous
perennials. Fall is the best time for
them to develop what they need to
survive - roots.
2. If it has not been done
recently, have the soil in your
garden, lawn and landscape beds
tested.
