How to Care
- Mulch the plants to cool the roots and conserve water. Add a 3
- to 4-inch layer of mulch in the spring, when removing winter protection. In warmer climates, mulch when the leaf buds begin to swell.
- As with most garden plants, 1 to 2 inches of water per week is usually sufficient, but this varies by climate and growing conditions. Hot locations and sandy soil will need more frequent watering than cool, coastal regions. A simpler rule is to water when the top 3 inches of soil are dry. Water the soil, not the leaves, to prevent disease. Also, water deeply to encourage root growth. Strong, deep roots will help your roses survive periods of drought.
- Hybrid tea roses, being repeat bloomers, are heavy feeders and benefit from regular applications of fertilizer. Start in early spring, either a month before new growth or when you remove winter protection and continue feeding weekly or every other week, depending on the fertilizer being used. Stop fertilizing about 6 weeks before your first expected frost date to prevent tender new growth on the plants from being damaged by a change in weather.
- Prune in early spring, before new growth. First cut out anything dead, diseased, or damaged canes as well as scrawny, spindly canes of less than 1/2 inch in diameter. Prune remaining stronger canes by about a third of their length, down to 12 to 24 inches. Hard-pruning like this encourages strong stems and large flowers. It also opens and shapes the plant so it can put more energy into fewer flowers.
- When cutting roses, be sure to leave a few leaves on the stem, making cuts about 1/4 inch above an outward-facing bud. Make the cuts at a 45-degree angle so that water runs off of the cut ends.
