I was surprise to learn that the rule of thumb is to wait till the forsythia bloom. Wow! Why did I miss this info, where have I been, this is so simple.
I have 28 roses bushes some really famous or popular Heirloom varieties that I am trying to keep alive, a few are thriving and the others are just hanging in there. I really need to learn more, I love my roses and some varieties are so much easier to keep than others. I really want to save my Austin and Buck Roses and hope they made it through the winter; so far they look dead. I see some green looking stems near the ground so they will need serious pruning this year.
Pictures below. Mercer garden club members are welcome in June to see my roses. If any Mercer Garden Club members want to talk roses please email me, spinningotter@gmail.com, perhaps we can arrange a rose meet up. Nancy
