Rose Care in September

September is a turning point in the rose garden. In this video I show why it’s one of the best times of year to plant new roses, and how cooler soil and shorter days set them up to thrive. I’ll also explain why it pays to ease back on deadheading, pruning, and fertilizer now—so your roses can slow down naturally, harden off for winter, and come back stronger next spring. If you’ve ever wondered how to get roses through the change of seasons in top shape, this is the month that makes all the difference.
