Wednesday February 15 2017 Gardening BAY HARBOUR PAGE 15 Look after roses during hot weather It’s hot out there! Rachel Vogan has tips to keep your roses performing at their best in summer conditions ROSES JUST say: “Look at me!”, and why wouldn’t you look at them? Coming in a tapestry of shapes, colours and sizes, it shouldn’t be any surprise they are the world’s most popular flower. One of the best things about roses is they have a very generous spirit and, even better, a forgiving nature. They just want to please, so if you don’t have the time or inclination to do anything with your roses at the moment, don’t panic, they are still going to grow – but if you do spend some time and energy on them, the rewards will speak for themselves. WATERING To keep roses at their best water deeply and avoid getting any water on the flowers or foliage. I know this sounds pedantic, but if you want a flawless flower that’s the best tip I can give you. Drop the hose nozzle down onto the ground and enjoy the plant’s beauty for 10 or 20 seconds, then move on to the next plant. If you do this twice a week, they will love you for it. Water on the leaves and flowers can cause all sorts of problems, especially fungal and disease issues, like black spot, mildew and rust. Prevention is far easier to manage, hence my suggestion to keep the water at ground level. When water sits on the petals overnight, especially as summer changes to autumn, the night air gets much cooler and the droplets can burn the petals leaving freckle-like spots on the flowers. BLOOMS: To create a new flush of stems like these (left), deadhead on a regular basis. Rose ‘Playboy’ is a real attention-getter with its colourful display; MULCHING & FEEDING Roses are hard-working plants, and they can chew through the soil’s nutrients quickly during hot periods. An application of rose fertiliser now and a thick layer of rose mulch will replenish the soil’s fertility and give it a welcome boost. If you did this back in spring, you can hold off until autumn, but if you missed this step do it now. The mulch helps keep the roots cooler and enables the soil to hold onto more moisture. Look for rosespecific fertiliser and mulch because it does the best job, and if you are feeling generous, a drench of seaweed tonic or liquid plant food won’t go unrewarded with bigger and better blooms. STAKING & TRAINING Staking is a good way to support standard roses from being thrown around in the wind. Use a thick stake, and tie the trunk to it with some sort of soft tie or stocking. With climbers, the stems are quite pliable when they are young. On a regular basis, secure the new stems while they are still malleable to whatever structure you are growing them up. Cable ties are easy to use and blend into the background. DEADHEADING Deadheading is an easy job. By doing it on a regular basis, it speeds up the repeat flowering and makes for a tidier plant. Either remove the dead flower head or cut the stem down to the first or second set of leaves. When you are doing this, also consider the overall shape of the plant and trim longer branches back to encourage a bushier plant and to even up the growth habit. CUT FLOWERS Keep picking roses. The best time of day to pick them is first thing in the morning. Plunge them straight into a bucket of water to the neck of the bloom. They will happily sit like this for hours if you don’t have time to make an arrangement straight after cutting them. Place them somewhere cool away from direct sunlight. PROBLEMS Pests and diseases often appear at this time of year due to the hot temperatures and inconsistent watering. If problems occur, spray as soon as you spot a problem. Again, prevention is better than cure, so a regular spray programme to prevent issues is always best. A BRANCH OF Still Pedalling!
