Here in San Diego, we rarely experience a hardost that will kill off new growth for April. That’s why we prune roses in late December and early January.
If you don’t know how to prune roses, you’re in luck, because we’ll tell you everything you need to know in this entry.
Absolutely! Pruning actually stimulates new growth and removes portions of the plant that may be diseased and can eventually damage the health of your entire garden.
Just by looking at your roses and paying attention to how they’re growing can get you thinking in the right direction.
When you see rose hips begin to form on your roses, you’ll know that the rose is about to go dormant. You can help your roses reach this point by withholding fertilizers and water during December.
One of the great things about roses – beyond their beauty – is that even if you cut or prune them in the wrong spot, the chances are better than average that they’ll still bloom beautifully.
The overall goal should be to create an open air portal for the new growth.
Also, if a particular rose is deteriorating from disease or old age, prune severely and continue to fertilize.
We wish you the best of luck with your roses. Remember, this is a wonderful time of year for pruning them.
