GET READY FOR TRIP: The Rose Garden

I’m mulching and feeding the roses once again, carefully grooming them after letting them go for several years. It’s very satisfying - they are heavy feeders and very responsive to care, and the extreme pruning I did in July, though unrecommended and unusual, reset them very successfully. They responded with a grand, healthy, bounteous flowering.
I’ve put in three yellows, and they are doing well. When we come back, I’ll finish adding new fragrant-only selections and colors. I may remove a few more. I’ve removed all other plantings and so access is very good now, and I can move easily around them to work on them.
It’s fun working with Florentino, our gardener. He suggested I put in a climber, and I think we will during bare root season.
