Roses and Lawn Care Guidance From Iowa Extension Notes

The Iowa State College extension notes advise ongoing rose care in late season with ample water, weekly irrigation if needed, and fertilizer every six weeks using 6 10 4 or 5 10 5, keeping fertilizer five to six inches from the stem and avoiding late-season fertilization to prevent tender growth. Mulching with ground corn cobs aids roses. refer to A Guide for Rose Growers for full mulching and care details, available from ISU publications at 25 cents. Lawn care stresses raising mower height, spot treating weeds with 2 4 D using a sprinkling can, and watering deeply about weekly to prevent crabgrass and support growth.
