Hello friends! Hope your weekend was lovely. I spent some downtime with the family and feel ready to take on the new month.
March is always a transitional and busy time in the garden. There's still a slight chance for a cold spell so I tend to stay conservative with plantings. I did manage to get out and trim back my roses though. I have knockout roses and some old climbing roses that were here when we bought the house. I also planted two Lady Banks rose bushes last fall and I can't wait to see what they produce!
For more helpful tips, here's a link on pruning roses by Better Homes and Gardens. Enjoy the day!
I love roses, I hope you post some amazing pictures of your beauties this year! :)
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled on your blog this morning and LOVE it! I am always super excited to find a blog created by another Southern lady! Take care!

lovely bog . . . and you are so lucky to have roses in your backyard!
ReplyDeleteI think I must do this tomorrow (if the wind is not blowing me to and fro) I have some almost 50 year old climbers that have been neglected for way to many years that I need to prune and retrain.
ReplyDeleteI love roses and am so envious of the ones in your garden. Maybe someday I won't be so intimidated and will plant some. Until then I'll enjoy them at the botanic gardens
ReplyDelete@Poptartyogini I was intimidated by roses to but really they're so hardy that they are a great plant to start with. You could also try one in a container!
ReplyDeleteWe have some lovely little tulips popping up all over our flower bed in the front yard. It gets me so excited for spring, I just hope it doesn't snow again over here! My husband also planted a half dead little rose bush today (he's more of the green thumb in the family). Hopefully it thrives.

I read someplace yesterday that old banana peels planted underneath rose bushes really helps with the blooms! try it.
