Remove 1/3 to 2/3 of the plant to stimulate new growth and flower production. Prune Hybrid Tea, Floribunda and Grandiflora roses 3 to 4 weeks before the average date of the last killing frost in your area. Always keep dry fertilizers away from the canes to prevent burning. As a general rule, apply dry fertilizers (non-foliar-feed) on the soil between the trunk and the drip line (end of the branches). Stop feeding in late summer to enable tender new growth to mature before winter. Frequency depends on the type of fertilizer used. 
Additional light feedings can be applied throughout the growing season to encourage growth and flowering.
Fertilize roses in early spring once the chance of frost has passed and just before new growth begins. Be sure your roses are well watered prior to application of fertilizer. Iceberg rose standard free#
Drip irrigation systems and soaker hoses are a great way to effectively water roses while conserving water, reducing your water bill, and promoting disease free plants.
At this time of the year, some plants exhibit minor wilting in the afternoon that is natural as long as rigor is regained by morning.
In the hot summer months, roses need water only when they show signs of stress in the morning, which is expressed as curled or drooping leaves and branches. Check plants often and be sure to wet the soil thoroughly until the entire root ball is saturated and water runs from the drainage holes. Be sure that all pots have drainage holes to prevent overwatering. Roses growing in patio containers usually require more frequent watering than plants in the ground. Avoid wetting foliage, especially in the evening, to reduce disease problems. Water plants early in the day to minimize water loss due to evaporation. Frequent light watering encourages a shallow root system that is not as prepared to handle the rigors of prolonged drought. Too much watering wastes water and pushes nutrients away from the plant roots which can lead to excessive weeding, fertilizing and pruning. Water established roses only when they need it, thoroughly allowing water to seep deep into the root system. As the plant roots grow out into the surrounding soil, watering frequency can be reduced. Thoroughly soak the root ball and surrounding soil. A sign of wilting foliage in the morning signals the need for water. Newly planted roses need more frequent watering than established plants. Water thoroughly and apply a thick layer of organic mulch around your new plants to conserve moisture. Fill in around the root ball with soil mix, eliminating all air pockets by packing down.ħ. In cold winter climates, position the graft union 1-2" below the ground level.Ħ. Set the plant in the hole making sure to position the graft union at or just above the ground level. Mix soil conditioner or compost with the soil dug out from the hole.ĥ. Dig hole twice the diameter of the root ball and as deep.Ĥ. Remove plant from the container by squeezing the container, laying it on its side, and then gently sliding out while keeping the root ball intact.ģ.
