Rose gardening tips – joyful fall bloom September

September 28, 2015 by Lisa Grable 8 Comments

I’ve asked The Gardener to come back to have a chat with us about his rose gardening tips.  He is sharing the big fall bloom of roses at Casa Bouquet. Be sure to check out his rose planting tips and spring advice for roses.Rose gardening tips for fall bloom of hybrid tea and floribunda include watering, preparation for winter, and growing roses . Try these rose planting tips!

What’s happening in the garden at the end of summer? The blooms start coming back more rapidly. With the summer heat gone, the flower takes longer to mature and open, so you get a bigger and more fragrant flower. The bloom lasts for several days as opposed to one or two days in the summer.

What are some rose gardening care tips for this time? Unlike the summer, when you have to do a lot of watering, less watering is required as temperatures cool off. Other maintenance is primarily deadheading. At the beginning of winter, I cut the roses down to about 3 to 5 feet to prevent damage from snowfall or ice storm. Here in Raleigh (zone 7b) I usually do it in December. Cutting this way still allows leaves to remain on the canes that help give the plant nutrients. To keep the base of the plant from freezing you may want to add mulch up to the graft node (where the hybrid plant is grafted to the root stock.)

If I want to put in a rose garden in the spring, how do I decide where to put it? You have to find a spot that gets 6 to 8 hours of sun in the summertime. Ideally you want to locate it where you have the best soil drainage. And of course, put them where you can see them. I like to put mine out front so people can see them when they are out walking in the neighborhood. At our house the summer sun travels east to west over the south side of the house, so our garden is on the south where it won’t get shaded by the house.

I’m so excited when the roses start blooming vigorously, our fall crop. These blooms have a fruity smell, like apples, oranges, and pears. My favorites at this time are Dolly Parton, Mister Lincoln, Melody Parfumee, and Fragrant Cloud.

The hybrid tea Rio Samba does so well in cooler weather. The buds are a sun-colored yellow and orange. As they open and mature they change to dark pink. And they are fragrant!

Let’s talk story

Our fall crop of roses is so joyful. The fruity smells go so well with the crisper weather and all the pumpkin goodies! Once I left a vase for an office admin and they stayed in her closed office over night. When she came in next morning she was going around the office asking everyone why her office smelled like cake! It was the fruity roses! The roses keep coming until the first week of December. I’ll cut the remaining buds and rose hips to use for a holiday craft.

What’s your favorite rose? I’ll be looking for your comments!

    LOVE Roses – here’s my neighbors tip she taught me: chop and plant garlic at the base each year & it keeps the beetles away from the roses – I haven’t tried it, but will next year…they almost killed my one bush this year! UGH…yours look beautiful.
    I hope we see you at the current Reader Tip Tuesday Party: http://www.jodiefitz.com/2017/08/22/reader-tip-tuesday-party-crafts-recipes/
    It’s open all week & growing.

      Hey Jodie, Thanks for visiting. I’ve not heard the garlic tip before. We usually try to get the Japanese beetles while they are still grubs.

    Thanks for the tips about roses. I love roses and have been trying to grow them in my yard but the deer keep eating them. If you have any ideas about how to keep them away, I would love to hear them.

    You make me want to have a garden! I went to Home Depot the other day looking for a SNAKE PLANT – because I heard they reduce air toxins…. Alas, I could not find one! ha!
