You'll need to prune them, fertilize, mulch and keep a close eye out for signs of disease and bugs...


Actually, pruning of roses can be done in the spring, preferably while they are still dormant. Go to: http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/...


How to prune properly: http://www.ehow.com/how_494_prune-roses.... and http://www.orchardsedge.com/article.jsp?...


Use a commercial rose food or a general-purpose fertilizer like 10-10-10 or 5-10-10 for the first two feedings. A formulation like 0-10-10 is best for the last feeding before frost.





Apply the rose food as well as the water-soluble and foliar fertilizers available according to the manufacturer's directions. Dry fertilizers should be scratched into the soil beneath the leaves - but not touching the canes or bud union - and then watered in well.
