Just use the link below: http://www.best-gardening-tips.com/2...to-do-in-2012/ The Web site says: Mulching If you’ve covered the soil around your roses with mulch or compost during winter, take most of it away and apply a new layer. I certainly would NOT remove mulch just as it is turning into compost. I merely pile even more leaves on top. Of course, that is only for the rose bed in front of my house. The rose bed in back has a thick ground cover that serves very well as a mulch. The Web site says: Pruning In spring, this means to remove old and diseased parts of the plant In the spring? My roses were all pruned by 8 January. At that time, some of the roses were still blooming, which meant my wife got a nice bouquet. Also, pruning involves opening up the center of the plant to improve air circulation. Finally, it is supposed to reduce the number of canes (main branches) to 3-5 in order to create a sturdy scaffold for new growth; otherwise, the plant might have many weak twigs instead of strong branches. See my http://www.rossde.com/garden/garden_rosepruning.html. The Web site says: Spraying You should also spray your roses if you’ve noticed fungus or mildew on them. I like to use a combination of lime sulphur and horticultural oil Copper sulfate and oil are much better at eliminating mildew, rust, and over-wintering insect eggs. I always mix some liquid soap into any spray; it acts as an excellent wetting agent, ensuring that the spray does indeed cover all of the plant. -- David E.
