Keeping Your Roses Blooming

Deadheading spent blooms will encourage new growth and prolong the flowering season. Water your roses deeply at the base to promote healthy root development. Applying a balanced fertilizer in the spring and mid-summer will provide essential nutrients for blooming. Keep an eye out for common rose pests like aphids and Japanese beetles, and treat them promptly. Pruning your roses in late winter or early spring will promote new growth and maintain a healthy shape.
