Woodies Picks: Four Rose Favorites for Multi-Season Interest
There's no telling exactly how the weather is where you are, but if it’s anything like the eastern shore of Maryland, then it’s hot and humid. Despite the heat, there are still so many plants radiating life and beauty into the late summer garden!
As I was walking through the greenhouse this week, I couldn’t help but notice how incredible the roses looked. In this week’s edition of Woodie’s Picks, we will explore four standout roses that will not only transform your outdoor space this August but also provide beauty and blooms through the fall and then again in the spring!
Benefits of Planting Roses In Early Fall
While early spring may seem like the ideal time to plant your roses, you will be surprised to know that many garden gurus actually prefer to plant many flowering shrubs in late summer to early fall! The reasoning behind this is the benefits that cool-season planting can offer your garden.
The most obvious benefit to planting roses in the early fall is that the conditions provide ample time and ideal temperatures to allow your roses to build the strongest rot systems possible! Beyond root health, the cooler temperatures allow for fewer issues regarding diseases like powdery mildew and issues with pests.
A final benefit of planting roses in the fall is the opportunity for savings! Peak spring is when prices on your favorite shrubs are through the roof. Take advantage of ideal planting conditions and ultimate savings by shopping for roses today and planting in the early fall!
