newbie ... Pruning
Hi all,
I am new to gardening. I live in toronto, Ontario zone/area 3-4 i guess. I have purchased a house and the previous owners had a very good rose garden in my backyard. There are 4 different rose plans, first year they were very healthy and nice, i did the pruning in spring early that year. But 2nd year two of the plants did not came very green, rather they looked sick and pale all season, where as two of them were very healthy. I did the pruning this fall so that coming season they should come back all healthy and i am planning to put some new soil. My question is what is the best time to do the pruning ... fall or spring ?? Also what is the best fartilizer/soil for roses and do i need to all top soil every year so the plants come back healthy with lots of roses. ? What is the best resources to know my rose flower kinds ? Any/all comments will be wellcome. Thanks. to all. Akhtar |
