During
the months of November and December, your rose bushes
will need continual care because they are not yet in
hibernation mode. During the late autumn months, it
is very important to continue watering your rose bushes.
When you are watering your rose bushes, make sure that
the ground around your rose plants remains moist. In
the late autumn months of November and December, it
is fine to water your rose bushes daily; just remember
not to over-water your roses.
Water is a main necessity during the late autumn months
because your rose bushes will need to stay hydrated
in order to stay protected during the winter. It is
important that you make sure the roots of your rose
plants stay hydrated properly.
During the late autumn months of November and December,
it is important to go without pruning your rose bushes.
Pruning your rose bushes during this time of year
will promote new growth.
You do not want to promote new growth in late autumn
because your roses will soon be facing the cold winter
months ahead. In addition, at this time you should
not be fertilizing your rose bushes. The last month
of fertilizing your rose bushes before the winter
should be the end of October.
Because your roses should be prepared to withstand
cold weather, you should focus on keeping them healthy
while they transition into hibernation and grow into
dormancy.
