October is the most honest month in the rose garden: every shortcut you took this year shows up now, and every one you take this month shows up in spring. Here are the six things I do for my roses in October so they come through winter strong — from cleaning up disease and protecting the bark from rodents to feeding the right nutrient and mounding the crown at the right time for your zone.
In this video:
• why fall cleanup stops disease from coming back in spring,
• how rodents girdle rose canes and how to prevent it,
• how to shorten and tie tall canes so wind doesn't rock the crown,
• why you should skip nitrogen now and give potassium instead,
• how and when to mound grafted roses, by USDA zone,
• how to take the protection off in spring without hurting the plant.
