The autumn months of September and October are when roses
perform at their peak. After faithfully following proper rose
procedures up to this point, now -- at last -- you should begin
to reap the rewards of full, vibrant, glorious blooms.
Your work isn't quite done yet, however. Although autumn is the
best growing time, it's also the time you must prepare your rose
bushes for winter coming onslaught. Producing those beautiful
blooms you are so proud of is hard work -- for your rose bushes,
too. They need a lot of water to fuel the flowering process.

the
watering process. You want beautiful blooms, not drowned roots.
Continue using water-soluble compost through the end of
September. Consider a commercial bloom-boosting fertilizer. The

growth are ideal, so keep up with a vigorous spraying program
through the end of October. Stop all fertilizing by the end of
October, to let your roses begin the hibernation process.
You can continue to cut rose bouquets through October without
causing any harm to the bushes. To encourage rose hips to form,
just remove the petals of the dead roses.

Fall just happens to be the right time to start planning next
year's garden. Order new flower catalogs for your research
