No fertilizer should be added after early to to allow time for the roses to harden off for the winter. Care of roses When buying a container grown plant, examine the foliage and canes carefully. The plant should be healthy and vigorous looking. Roses perform best when they receive full sun for 8 or more 6-- hours per day from spring through the fall. There should be air movement through the foliage to keep it dry and discourage mildew diseases. Plant away from large trees or shrubs that may compete for nutrients and water. Roses do well in a wide range of soils but need good drainage. If your soil has drainage problems you might consider raised beds or other means of altering the drainage pattern. The frequency of watering, as well as the amount, depends on soil type, growth stage of the roses and weather conditions. Normally, a rose should receive of water per week.

Proper pruning of roses includes removing nonproductive and dead or damaged wood and leaving a few good canes as the foundation of a healthy bush. Pruning allows the gardener to shape the bush and maintain a desirable size. Ideally, the bush will have a vase shape, open in the center. When the roses begin to flower, prune off old blossoms down forthe stem to the first f mation. This will encourage continued blooming throughout the season.

In addition to peaches, hosts include plum, apricot, and almond. When the trees grow in the spring, the caterpillars emerge and chew their way into developing buds and terminals. A larva will hollow out a terminal for a short distance and move to another one, often feeding in several before completing development. They then emerge from the twigs, spin cocoons on the trunk and branches, pupate, and the adults emerge in about y two weeks (usually during in northern Utah). Larvae feeding in terminals causes leaves to wilt (flag) and stops terminal growth. Larva can be found feeding in the fruit which destroys quality and may serve to introduce rot organisms. Over wintering larvae can be killed with a delayed dormant spray applied at the first sign of color in the bud tips. This delayed dormant spray is essential for control of the first generation of this insect. If the delayed dormant spray WAS applied, only e one more spray in about with imidan or diazinon is needed to control the second generation. If the delayed dormant spray WAS NOT applied, spray e in and again in with imidan or diazinon. mid-Ma- mid-Jun- mid-Jun- mid-Augu- er boflavin, phosphorus, potassium Because of its weight a branch can tear loose during pruning, stripping the bark and creating jagged edges that invite insects and disease. That wont happen if you follow these steps: A. Make a partial cut from beneath, at a point several inches away from the trunk. B. Make a second cut from above several inches out from the first cut, to allow the limb to fall safely. C. Complete the job with a final cut just outside the branch collar, the raised area that surrounds the branch where it joins the trunk. Foundation urges home and property owners to follow a few simple rules in administering tree first aid after a storm: 1. Dont try to do it all yourself. If large limbs are broken or hanging, or if high climbing or overhead chainsaw work is needed, its a job for a professional arborist. They have the necessary equipment and knowledge and magnesium. Milk has nutrients everyone can use, said England. "But its even more important for kids to drink milk now to avoid diseases like osteoporosis, the disease, later in bone-thinni- life.
