Fall Planting Tips

October 17, 2022

Get Planting (Fall Style). Here is a little bit of my handy work from this Fall.  As you can see, I really don't do anything too special.  I choose plants that are zone appropriate for my area and I try to give the roses 6 weeks until a hard freeze.  In Colorado, freeze dates are always a little tough to gauge.  I typically rely on USDA data and then get overly optimistic that winter will be late.  When I inevitably run into an early freeze, I simply cover the rose with a bucket for extra short [Read More]

Enjoy Your Roses! – I think this point is too easily overlooked.  Love your garden and enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Cooler temperatures bring out the blooms and intensifies the color of many roses.  I'm particularly proud of this Over the Moon bloom (above) in my new rose bed.

December 19, 2019

So yes, it’s time to keep an eye on the forecast and get that hose out. [Read More]

Know Your Zone

November 19, 2019

Shhh! Do you want to know the single greatest success factor for growing great roses? Pick your roses to match your environment instead of trying to change your environment to fit your roses. I get it, we all do it.  You’ll be shopping at the garden center, big box, or even the grocery store and see a beautiful plant at a great price and you snap it up.  Then it turns out the plant has not hope surviving in your climate and it turns into one expensive annual.  Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be [Read More]

Fall Pruning (or not)

November 18, 2019

Now that we are getting a little chill in the air, I often get questions asking for advice on fall pruning. My simple response often catches people off guard. My advice is, don’t do it. Go take a walk, carve a pumpkin, chase a turkey or just take a nap. Pruning is crucial to the overall health and longevity of your roses, but pruning in the fall can have some unintended side effects. First and foremost, pruning encourages growth in plants. New growth is much more susceptible to freeze damage and [Read More]
