Hello, Tim!

Everyone seems to have their own weed control tactic. Are you the sort of grower who runs for the Round-Up at the sight of fledgling garlic mustard? Or do you let them be in Emersonian peace (Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "A weed is a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.") Try Integrated Weed Management for a balanced approach. Mulch is definitely part of the IWM plan, but even better is the fact that it improves your soil conditions with continual use.

Lots of pruning happens in late-winter and early-spring. Rose pruning, however, can continue into the growing season. With these guidelines, you will be able to manage your the size of your roses all summer long.
