My name is Bennie Booysen and I want to tell you what to do with your roses during June and July during the winter (Southern Hemisphere)
At the beginning of the winter you will see your roses starting to hibernate. It is time for them to "rest" Leaves will start to yellow but your roses will still have a few flowers.
Don't start to prune yet. All you have to do now is to water less and stop fertilizing.
If you prune now, at the beginning of June, your roses will start to sprout too early and the cold will burn the new shoots.
It is better to wait until the end of June or even the end of July before you can start pruning. If you still get frost in the middle of July, wait until the weather gets hotter. Roses though are not very particular. They can withstand a lot of cold. So if you feel like pruning at the end of June, feel free to do so. Your roses will be flowering early in September either than early in October.
If you need any other advice you can send me an email at aromarose@telkomsa.net or visit my website at www.aromaroses.weebly.com
