Extra Rose Care Adds Fall Bloom Beauty
County Agent Paul Tapp urges August through September watering every 10 days soaking 8 to 10 inches deep. Keep mulch thick, avoid shallow roots, spray fungicide for black spot, and retain leaves to build food reserves for fall color and winter hardiness. Mark unhealthy roses for removal now for future replanting.
