Care Tips for Roses and Lawns at Iowa State College

It is an in-between season for hybrid tea and floribunda roses requiring continued care. Provide at least an inch of weekly water and fertilize if not done within five weeks, using 6-10-4 or 5-10-5 fertilizer placed 5-6 inches from the main stem. Mulching with corn cobs aids roses. avoid late-season fertilizing to prevent tender growth damaged by cold. Lawn care emphasizes raising mower height, spot-weeding with 2.4-D applied carefully, and thorough weekly watering for deep soil penetration.
