Roses can look great well into late autumn, but a well-timed autumn prune helps them go into winter in better shape and reduces disease. Done at the right moment, it also prevents long canes from being damaged by frost, wind, or snow.
Summer heat and uneven watering can quickly leave roses looking tired and short on blooms. With deep watering, timed feeding, deadheading, and a simple baking soda drench after pruning, you can keep them vigorous and flowering longer.
