Late March and early April is the time to prune and fertilize bush roses to promote attractive, vigorous plants and flowers. First, remove dead wood, diseased or broken branches, and weak stems (thinner than the thickness of a pencil). If you wait to prune until leaf buds begin to swell, there will be no question as to what is dead or alive on the plant All pruning cuts should be made either to the ground or to a strong, outward facing bud. Don’t leave long stubs; they are prime entry points for disease. Hybrid lea varieties should then be pruned to a height of 1 to 2 feet Floribunda roses should be pruned back only lightly after debris removal, although overgrown plants can be cut back drastically. Climbing roses can be thinned now by cutting some canes to the base, but leave top pruning until after flowering. If recommendations based on Chemical-Free Lawn Care LEBANON (Lebanon Co.)

Use 2 pounds for 100 square feet of bed or a generous heaping tablespoon per plant, spreading it around the plants and lightly scratching it into the soil surface. A second application of half this amount should be made in mid- June. This is probably also a good time to be sure you have disease and insect control products avail able. Roses seem to host more than their fair share of diseases and pests and usually require weekly treatments starting in mid- May to produce high quality roses. Black spot, a fungus disease, is very common and because it causes premature leaf drop, weakens plants if not controlled. A product combining insecticide, miticide and fungicide is probably the easiest approach to keeping problems under control.

The pet therapy project was ini tiated last fall by 4-H club leader Dana Sharpe. 4-H, the youth education branch of Cooperative Extension, encourages communi ty service activities. With more than 3S club members, the West ville had plenty of young volunteers. “We always have more kids volunteer than we can take,” says Sharpe. “So many children wanted to be involved in the pro ject when it started that we had to have a lottery. We drew the names of two younger and two older kids for each visit. We hope that by the end of this school year every LEBANON (Lebanon Co.)

The child ren and pets usually stay for about an hour. But the smiles and atten tion shared between residents and 4-H’ers impart a warmth that lasts beyond the visit. The 4-H’ers reap the benefits of interaction with another genera tion and the rewards of communi ty service. Lindsay Gooden sums up the reason for her repeat visits to the center, “I like going to see the people smile. They like the animals.” No doubt they like the children, too.
