They are all beautiful roses and offer
choices in grandiflora, floribunda and hybrid tea varieties. With over 200 rose
selections to choose from the novice and the expert will surely find something
to please their rose pallet. Knockout shrub roses have become a landscape staple
in the Desert. The all-mighty white Iceberg remains a favorite as a shrub, a
tree rose and a climbing rose. Tree roses make colorful statements in gardens
and containers alike. Climbing roses are an interesting alternative to
mainstream shrub vines (bougainvillea, etc). Roses do well in all areas of the
valley; they flourish in south eastern exposures. Avoid planting roses in
unprotected western exposed planters where they will receive the full brunt of
afternoon sun through the summer. |
 PULP POTS
Our roses are planted in pulp pots. These are
biodegradable containers that help reduce transplant shock. Simply remove the
pot bottom, slit the sides, tear off the rim and plant the rose. Mother Nature
will do the rest. Be sure you plant the rose so soil levels inside the pot are
the same as outside the pot. Water the newly planted rose every other day or so
until the roots have had a chance to take hold. Adjust irrigation according to
weather conditions. When you see signs the roses are leafing out, it is time to
fertilize. Roses are food HOGS. Feed once a month – no exception. |
 CITRUS
TREES
Citrus trees come into bloom as we round the corner into
February. January then becomes a critical feeding time for citrus. Use either
Dr. Earth Bud & Bloom or FoxFarm Big Bloom liquid fertilizer this time of
year to give the blooming process a little extra boost.  This ensures more blossoms, more fruit set and more fruit
for next season. BE SURE you are not overwatering your citrus. Established trees
need very little water through the winter. Citrus planted in lawn areas are
often victims of poor water habits; shallow frequent application of water does a
tree little good. Remember grass can get by with one time water, 2-3 times
weekly. You may choose to deep water citrus every other week to send the roots
deep into the soil. |
 GARDEN HABITS
No trimming this time of year. We
still have lots of potential cold weather ahead of us. Check your irrigation to
be sure you are not using more water than you need to. Watch for garden pests;
they are generally quiet during cold weather but will feast on new growth. Bring
us a clipping, we will identify the problem and send you home with a solution.
Enjoy your garden. |
