My Roses have gone to bed
I've just finished putting my roses to bed. 12 inches of compose at the
base of each of the 200+ roses, after cutting them back to about 2.5 feet. My cuttings are down in the basement, growing under the lights, and I've tilled up the ground for next year's new garden. So now what? Jeff Southeast Michigan Zone 5 |

And a lot of roses! I have about 150 but where I live there's no need for winterizing. I did lose a few newly planted roses due to a late cold snap several years ago, but that usually doesn't happen. I wish I had your energy. At this point I'm willing to replace dead roses, but not to expand the rose garden anymore. Have a good year. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 USA |
