Bullet Points:
-
Inch of water: Just give your roses an inch of water per week for optimal growth. Ensure you water at the base of the plant rather than overhead to prevent fungal issues.
-
First Bloom: Fertilizing once you see the first bloom is crucial. Apply a balanced fertilizer to encourage continuous flowering.
-
Subsequent Feeding: Feed roses every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to support blooming.
-
Mulching Purpose: Mulch helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil fertility. Spread a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch like straw or compost around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the stems.
-
Pruning Timing: Prune in late winter or early spring when roses are dormant. Remove any dead or diseased wood anytime.
