on How to Use Roses in your Landscape |

Harvest rosebuds for indoor enjoyment and encourage strong, new growth and repeat blooms. Prune flowering stems back to the first 5-leaflet leaf. You can prune back farther on established plants, but be sure to always leave at least two 5-leaflet leaves behind on the plants stem. Those gardening in cold climates should stop deadheading roses toward the end of the season. Allow the plants to develop rose hips. This helps the plants prepare for the cold weather ahead and increases hardiness. Plus, these red to orange fruits provide winter food for birds and attractive winter interest in the garden. And use JAZ Rose Spray to strengthen your roses natural defenses against stress, insects, and diseases. Healthier roses mean more beautiful flowers and roses better able to tolerate seasonal challenges.
