By KATHY BRAMHALL In the rush of the Christmas Season, I'm recycling my article on pruning roses in case you need a reminder. We need to start pruning our roses shortly after Christmas. 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 three or four 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 onethird to one-half; leaving 3-5 main canes. 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 Largeflowered 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 can cause such diseases to spread. Rule #4—Apply/reapply mulch to conserve on water—in our climate 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 chemical fertilizers and the roses don't care. Feed your roses monthly— February through June; slack off during the hot summer and resume with a final feeding in October. If you use this pruning routine, you'll have show stoppers and then you can think about competing in Red Bluff Garden Club's Flower Show May 3 & 4, 2013. Be sure to check out the freshly made wreaths, swags, and centerpieces at our Christmas Boutique. December 6-7-8 at the old Holiday Market building on Cedar St. You can decorate for Christmas and contribute to our scholarship program too. Merry Christmas to all!
