Roses often stop performing during hot summer weather. They often quit blooming and lose color. There are several things you can do to help them cope.
  • Mulching with one or two inches of humus or Gold Rush is a good way to hold moisture and keep the roots cool.
  • We are getting reports from local rosarians that applying Alfalfa Meal and Sul-Po-Mag can also help. We recommend the alfalfa meal in the early spring for help in making a bushier plant and the Sul-Po-Mag to improve the color of the roses.

Try mulching, alfalfa meal and Sul-Po-Mag and see if you can beat the summer heat.
