rose tree pruning
We received a rose tree as a gift from a NYC florist. I believe it
was raised for indoor office or lobby decor. We live in the Hudson Valley mountain range. My question is does this type of tree become dormant in the winter and does it require pruning? It certainly looks dead! How can I determine if it's alive? Linda,NY |

My question is does this type of tree become dormant in the winter and does it require pruning? It certainly looks dead! How can I determine if it's alive? Linda,NY All roses will go dormant if it gets cold enough. Is your tree rose still potted? Is it indoors or out of doors? Tree roses and patio roses are particularly susceptible to cold, hence probably more likely to go dormant than a bush rose or miniature. Dormant roses do tend to look dead. You might wait to prune until it warms up at your house. If you see new growth, then the rose is alive. Then you can figure out which canes are alive, which are dead and need pruning. Here's one article I found by goggling "tree rose": http://www.rosemagazine.com/articles04/tree_roses/ It appears to have some good information about standard roses. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

rose tree pruning
Hi Gail,
My friend and I were thinking about moving to Port Isabel since he liked the climate. Unfortunately, health problems changed the move! We'll stay put in NY. Thanks for the website and information. I have 3 rose bushes in the front of the house which are protected by evergreens and a forsythia bush. The rose tree was outdoors til fall then brought indoors. Should it be watered even though it's dormant? Linda,NY zone5 |

Linda,NY zone5 I believe it's a good idea to water some during dormancy, not as much as when the rose is actively growing, but at least enough to keep the soil a little damp. Gail |

Hi Gail,
I gave my sister the information and the website. It was very helpful.I'm in zone 5 and she lives in a higher elevation. She was also looking at that website for winter hardy roses and found other links. We still have cold weather forecasted for the next few weeks so I won't be doing any trimming ! Linda |

Linda Howdy Linda - I'm glad the web sites were useful. My problem in this area is heat rather than cold, although we have had late frosts that killed newly planted roses.
