What to do for your roses in the month of January.
Northern Hemisphere
Being the middle of winter (practically), this is the time for you to:
- prune your roses, cutting them right back
- Water your roses once a week
- add compost to your roses beds and churn the soil for increased aeration
- transplant your roses if necessary
- Spray your rose bush after pruning
Southern Hemisphere
- Water AT LEAST 3 times a week. More if it’s really hot where you are
- As mentioned in “4 tips for caring for Roses“, prune your roses, cutting back the flowers once they’ve bloomed
- Also mentioned in the above post, spray your roses every 1-2 weeks
- And, fertilise your roses at the beginning of the month, watering them thoroughly afterwards
