This is the time of year for planting bare-root roses and pruning those already in the garden.
UC’s publication, “Roses in the Garden and Landscape: Cultural Practices & Weed Control", is a good source of information about rose care.
Topics include:
- Pests and other organisms
- Selection of plant varieties
- Cultural practices
- Planting site considerations
- Fertilizer and irrigation
- Pruning, including ways to influence bloom characteristics.
A related UC publication, “Roses in the Garden and Landscape: Insect and Mite Pests and Beneficials,” focuses on ways to use IPM (integrated pest management) and cultural practices to reduce pesticide use.
