Rose care for August
• In most areas, complete the pruning by the first week• If the soil was not dug over, composted and fertilised after pruning, do so before the roses start sprouting. • Increase watering to twice a week as the roses are entering their most active growing phase.• Fertilise with Vigorosa. If the roses were fertilised after pruning, delay fertilising until the end of August or early September. • Start checking the tips of new growth for aphids. Spray with Ludwig’s Insect Spray or drench around the roses with Koinor, which also eradicates thrips. It has a long-lasting action. • From the end of August, or as the weather becomes warmer, mulch around the roses.
