Our Yard of Winter Flowers - ready to go out to our clients!

  

It is definitely time to plant your winter annuals. Have fun with different textures and colors! Remember not to combine too many colors in one pot.

Keep watering your pots. When you plant new flowers, be sure you do not let those tender new roots dry out.

We hope you are enjoying your fall blooms!

Water - if you do not have any annuals in your pots with your roses, you should water every other day.

 

Feed:

• Continue your water soluble fertilizer, until the fall shows are over.
• Toward the end of November, you no longer want to encourage new growth.
• Let your roses have a brief rest period for the winter.

Pests:

• Keep a watchful eye for powdery mildew. As the nighttime temperatures cool off, the conditions are right for this fungus.
• At the first signs of mildew on your roses, spray with a fungicide such as Funginex.
• Unless you have a mildew problem, you should not need to spray.
