My rules for roses By KATHY BRAMHALL, In the rush of the Christmas Season, I'm reprinting my article on pruning roses in case you need a reminder. We do need to start pruning our roses shortly after Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone! Rule #1—Get your roses pruned by Super Bowl Sunday for a lovely mid-April/early-May bloom. If the weather is cooler your main flush of bloom could be mid-May—any later you'll run into hot weather and won't get the blooms you want. Pruning two or three weeks before Super Bowl Sunday is okay too. Rule #2—During the pruning process cut out all dead wood (Test: clip off a bit; if it is brown, brittle and dry it is dead.) Then cut out all crossing branches (Test: imagine the branches 3 feet longer and _" bigger around; are any of the branches going to be rubbing against each other? If so, cut out the minor ones.) Hybrid Teas, Grandifloras, and Floribunda can stand hard pruning—down one- third; leaving 3-5 main canes. Miniature roses can indeed get out of hand. Prune miniatures to fit the container or area in which you have them planted. Large and small shrub roses need to be kept in their boundaries—prune long canes as needed. Do the same with Large-flowered climbers. Some of the new modern shrub roses need no pruning except for dead canes. Rule #3—Clean up around your roses after pruning; this helps eliminate disease. If your rose leaves have any black spot or rust get the leaves off the bush and burned or in the trash—do not recycle in your compost pile as that treatment can cause the dis- eases to spread. Rule #4—Apply/reapply mulch to conserve on water—in our cli- mate roses must receive plenty of water. There are many types of mulch. I recommend something that will decompose in a couple of years as it helps improve your soil. Rule #5—Feed your roses after you prune—organic is best for improving the soil, however it is generally more costly than chemi- cal fertilizers. The roses don't care. Feed your roses monthly—Febru- ary through June; slack off during the hot summer and resume with a final feeding in October. If you do these five things, you'll have show stoppers and then you can think about competing in Red Bluff Garden Club's Flower Show May 4-5, 2012. Everyone is invited to attend the Red Bluff Garden Club meetings on the last Tuesday of every month except for December and July.
