PRESIDENT’S LETTER

By Leroy Brady

We can look forward to a very busy September with so many opportunities coming up to learn about growing better Roses and how to show them. Take advantage of the workshops and seminars being sponsored by the Rose Society. It is great when you can attend these events with out the expense of traveling to New Mexico or California. Take note to do some fall pruning and fertilizing to help your roses recover from the hot summer with new growth for the fall bloom for you to enjoy and have some to show in our November Rose Show.

ROSE CARE for the FALL BLOOM CYCLE IN THE SONORAN DESERT Mesa East Valley Rose Society August 2018

Prepared by Marylou Coffman and LeRoy Brady

It may still seem hot and like the dog days of summer, but now is the time to look ahead. The last half of August and early September is the time to take action, to wake up and bring roses out of the lethargy of our hot Sonoran Desert summer weather. Now is the time to set the stage and perform the caring tasks so they can respond to the cooler growing weather that has been scheduled for October and November. It is now that the horticultural steps must be taken for the best possible performance of roses. The goal is to encourage new growth, nice blooms of hybrid teas, grandifloras, beautiful sprays of floribundas, and small, beautifully delicate blooms of miniatures.

Attention and action now will allow you to enjoy great roses for the fall rose shows and plentiful roses all the way through the holidays.

Preparing roses for a successful fall blooming season requires attention to each during the first half of September: • Watering: Continued good watering practices are crucial now as the long hot summer is almost over, but not yet. Until the hot temperatures are consistently lower, continue to provide adequate water, both in quantity and frequency. After it cools, down both quantity and frequency can be adjusted accordingly. Keep the soil profile moist but not saturated. Allowing the soil to get too dry or too wet, may cause the death of a favorite rose.

• Pruning: New blooms will come on new growth, which is what we want to encourage by good, careful pruning. Fall pruning should be light and judicious. Cut dead blooms off and prune to ¼ inch above a good active lateral bud on the stem. Pruning stimulates the growth of these buds. This bud will grow and more than likely will become a new beautiful rose. For hybrid teas and roses with larger canes, prune at a point on the cane where it is at least the same diameter as a pencil. Limit fall pruning to not more than ¼ of the height of the bush. Remove dead canes, small twiggy growth and suckers growing from below the graft or bud union. The Rose Lore 2 August 2018 • Fertilization Will provide the nutrients in the soil and water necessary to bring good growth back to roses. Summer watering to compensate for heat leeches and reduces the availability of nutrients in the rose root zone. Rosarians, from their own experiences, develop preferences for inorganic and organic fertilizers. Based on their experiences they program the types of fertilizers, the quantity, and the frequency of application to get good results. Some of the favorite inorganic fertilizers are: “Arizona’s Best Rose Fertilizer”, “Arizona’s Best Citrus Fertilizer”, “Treeland All Purpose”, “Miracle Gro”, and “Magnum Grow”; all provide both macro and micro nutrients to stimulate and support good fall growth and flowering. Some of the favorite organic fertilizers are: “Milorganite”, “Mills Magic”, “Millers Rose Food”, and fish fertilizers. Many of the organic fertilizers also contain alfalfa meal and some even have kelp. Fertilizing is not just a one time and forget it item. People continuously need nutrition, and so do plants. A good fertilization program provides for that frequency of adding nutrients to the soil. A rule of thumb for roses is that from fertilizing to flowers is from 6 to 8 weeks, depending on weather. Follow the application and frequency information on the label.

Watering, Pruning and Fertilizing are all extremely important and necessary in the late summer and early fall for a spectacular fall blooming season. There are other less intensive but still important activities that are sure to enhance the growth, health and quality of the rose blooms for the fall months. Roses in the fall season are generally more disease free than the spring, but will still benefit from washing off the foliage and spraying the underside of the leaves to minimize spider mites and other insects. Continue to add and replenish compost which insulates and reduces fluctuations of soil temperatures, cuts back on soil moisture evaporation and adds nutrients for the benefit of roses. Now is the time to get started so you can be proud and enjoy the fruits of your labor during this fall season.

Now is the time to take action for a successful fall blooming cycle in your rose garden. November is just too late. By then the train will have left the station and the cows will be out of the corral and into the hay field.

Life is good but even better when we are Growing Beautiful Roses!

ROSES IN REVIEW

By Kathy Monge, District RIR Chair

Greetings from your 2018 Roses In Review Coordinator for the Pacific Southwest District!

I am here to ask all of our local members to put their wisdom in about the new roses in commerce and how they do in our complex climate of the Pacific Southwest District. This should be completed by all ARS members, any other rose society member or rose grower.

The first way to do this is on-line. The set-up is different this year. The first step is to go to the Roses In Review page on the ARS web site using this link: http://www.rose.org/rir. To make the rating easier, start with 7.5, then go up or down by 0.5. For example, for disease problems subtract 0.5 or great repeat, add 0.5.

For those who have no computer, there is a paper evaluation form to complete in your July/August American Rose magazine and mail it to me. I will enter it in for any member or gardener!

Kathy Monge 2109 Pearwood Ln Santa Ana CA 92705-7831 You can also email me the evaluation form at [email protected].
