rose pruning
Someone told me to prune my roses now (late February) down to about 8 inches. Is this something I should be doing?
|
How about Crape (Crepe) Myrtle? Is this the time to cut them back. When do I plant Impatiens?
|
In CA we cut the roses down near Super Bowl time (early Feb)

They have a great Rose Club that can really tell you about Roses in Florida. In NH, I used to trim to the branch with 5 leaves after roses bloomed.:wave:

I didn't think Impatiens would survive in the Florida heat. Up north, they are very unhappy by July unless it is morning sun. Do they actually survive in the summer?
|
Since this is taking a gardening bent, could anyone tell me what the best way to mulch is? Does gravel do anything to help keep moisture in or what is everyone's experience?

The gardening calendar published by the Master Gardeners(?) says to cut back the knockout roses on Valentine's Day. It's later than that by now and I'm having such a hard time getting up the nerve, as each one has dozens of blooms on it. When is it too late to do that?

QUESTION: DO you prune a "Rose Tree" the same way as a rose bush???? BY that I mean, cut back individual branches about 2-4 inches from the main trunk!
