If you care for your roses all year round your garden will display beautiful blooms and healthy looking roses. Pruning your roses the right way is crucial to how your roses grow. If I am asked to come and look at a garden with roses, what I am looking for is how the previous prunes have been done, and I am looking for any sign of pest or disease.
Caring for your roses includes pruning and maintaining the roses by feeding them and spraying them. If no care has been taken with your roses this makes my job harder but I am always up to the challenge.
When I care for your roses, I will start pruning the roses and the best time to provide a full prune is in the winter months. This is the best time for me to cut back a lot of the deadwood (if there is any) and I will also cut off the thing stringy bits that are not strong enough to sustain your roses.
I have attended properties before where the deadwood has never been cut back and that makes the job harder, but I do my best to ensure I cut back what I can.
During the year, my care plans include deadheading roses so that they will bloom again, providing summer prunes (a light prune), spraying your roses, feeding them and putting down mulch like sugar cane mulch around your roses.
There are no guarantees for any plants and roses can be hit with various diseases and pests and caring for your roses on a regular basis will ensure you keep on top of it and it gives your roses a far better chance of survival.
If you are interested in learning more about my care plans, please call me or if you would like to learn how to care for your roses, ask me and I will set up a time to show you how to care for your roses.
