Rose Garden in April Tips by Kathy Pifari

1. Finish all pruning and cleaning around roses. 

2. Mulch your rose beds with 2-3. of good organic mulch. 

3. Add a handful of time release (18-6-12), a small handful of fast acting fertilizer (16-16-16), a cup of organic fertilizer (like Dr. Earth) and Alfalfa pellets - let the rains help to activate it.

 4. Mid-to late March start using water soluble fertilizers and fish emulsion or kelp.
