Northern Folk, don't forget to do a little pruning and triming to encourage new growth. It's also ben a long winter, it's time to feed. Once you start to see a little new growth, use a gentle rose food or a normal feed in a small amount. Come back two weeks later with a normal dose. I hate promoting any products, but Bayer seems to be doing a good job with thier products. If you happen to be a green person, like me, there are great methods to create the same beautiful roses that conventional methods produce. Worm juice is a wonderful boost to almost any plant. You can find it on the internet. Worm castings are great. You can also take worm castings and dilute them in water to make a potent feed. Make sure if your using tap water, leave the water in a bucket in the sun for 6 to 12 hours. This will dilute or disolve the chlorine and other chemicals that are benificials found in the castings. Have a great Spring and get your hands dirty.

- Mary, a fresh start. Wow, what an oppertunity. There are so many new varieties, but I tend to stick to the old favorites. I just love the varieties that my grand parents used and found so much sucess growing and enjoyed for so many years. I wish you all the luck in your new challenge.

Comment by Mary Catherine Johnston on March 7, 2010 at 3:29am - When I lived in Southern Ont. I had 15 beautiful roses, primarily shrub. I moved to Cape Breton and took them with me. They thrived there but when I moved to the Manitoulin I couldn't bring them so found new homes for them. Now I am starting over, have put in several shrub roses and am nursing one I found here when I arrived and had to move it. It is a challenge, but one that pays such beautiful rewards.
