National Rose Month

Roses are a beautiful addition to any landscape! To keep them producing gorgeous blooms, ensure they:

• Are receiving 6-8 hours of full sun, daily
• Have drip irrigation set up to avoid diseases caused by too much water
• Prune often by Thinning (Removing branches to reduce density) or Reducing (shortening the plant height) or Heading (Forces new buds to grow)
• Know the type of rose you are pruning - pruning style depends on what species you have

We recommend adding rose fertilizer to your rose bushes in March to keep them strong year-round.
