Beat the Rose Heat

Roses often stop performing during hot summer weather. They often quit blooming and lose color. There are several things you can do to help them cope.

Mulching with one or two inches of humus or Gold Rush is a good way to hold moisture and keep the roots cool.

We are getting reports from local rosarians that applying Alfalfa Meal and Sul-Po-Mag can also help. We recommend the alfalfa meal in the early spring for help in making a bushier plant and the Sul-Po-Mag to improve the color of the roses.

Try mulching, alfalfa meal and Sul-Po-Mag and see if you can beat the summer heat.
