Spring Rose Care (March)
- Check your pH (6.0-6.5 is ideal)
- Get a Soil Sample to find out what (if any nutrients are lacking in your soil). Get a kit from Mayo’s
- Prune your roses (this makes your bush want to grow more and improves the health of your roses)
- Apply fertilizer to established bushes
- Begin your spray program (unless you have no spray roses or don’t want to spray and don’t mind black spot. You can pick off the diseased leaves and put in garbage bag)
- Water if it doesn’t rain 1 inch a week
- Watch out for Aphids (soft bodied insects that look like pieces of thread on the bud). Remove these with a gloved hand or very forceful stream of water
- Wait for the magic to happen!
- Take pictures of your roses!
- Enjoy!!
