desertwoman, did you take cuttings? If so, we’re they successful? When granddaughter was last here, I gave her one of the cuttings from my potting bench. She has expressed an interest in roses and I thought she would have fun learning.

With warm temps predicted for next week and me failing miserably in getting our rose bushes trimmed back last fall, is there any reason that I shouldn’t trim them back if the weather permits next week?

Don't do it! If you prune them too early they break dormancy. It's only February and there will certainly be more winter days and it will be hard on that premature new growth. I was also taught to not prune in the Fall- not even deadheading rose hips as this also stimulates new growth- not a good idea when cold weather is on the horizon. I stop cutting anything on my roses by late September and don't prune them until the leaf sprouts are at least 1/4"- usually mid to late April here. centralilrookie, |
