January is Rose Trimming Month in the INland Empire
January 6, 2011
Trimming rose bushes in January will result in beautiful blossoms throughout the year. In yesterday's Daily Facts newspaper, David Dangermond, former owner of Dangermond's Nursery had an article which described how best to trim your roses. I am quoting David.
"First, remove all the weak, diseased, dead and crossing branches. Then trim the canes back by one-third to one-half.
Trim each cane back to an outward facing bud. You should have roughly a vase or bowl shaped plant.
Follow with a dormant spray and a shot of organic fertilizer and you will have set your self up for the season."
To me, roses are on of the most satisfying garden plants. They come in a myriad of colors and they bloom continuously. If you do not yet have a rose garden, it will soon be bare-root season and for a minimal investment you can create a rose garden for fabulous beauty and often delightful scents.
