Mixing up the October showstoppers with the cool season roses means there will always be something to appreciate. Planting a mixed bed of roses is to have the best of all worlds. They last longer on the bush and also in the vase. The shorter days and cooler temperatures intensify the colours of the blooms and without the heat and harsh, high light the growth slows down resulting in the production of much, much bigger blooms. Roses with apricot/peach, brown, lilac, and old-gold coloured blooms as well as the softer petalled pastel varieties show off best in autumn.
Another option is to plant marigolds for a season and then replace the roses. For this reason, farmers adopted crop rotation.Īn easy way to solve this, says Ludwig, is to sink a cardboard box into the spot and plant the new rose with potting soil in it.īy the time the cardboard has biodegraded, the chemical will have worked out of the soil. This chemical will last in the soil for a year after the plant has died or is removed. That is because roses release a hormone into the soil to claim their spot, inhibiting other roses from growing too close to their roots. If you plant a rose in the same spot where a rose was previously planted, it will stay dormant or grow very poorly. When the new season starts in September, the roses are so well established they flower in October like mature bushes. The cooler autumn weather also place less stress on newly planted roses, especially the roots.
They can actually produce super blooms before pruning time in July. They have time to spread out new roots and get settled before winter. Roses planted out in autumn do not have the rush into flower as they do in spring, says Ludwig. Then one can see how high the rose grows, its flowering ability, the quality of its flowers and its disease resistance.
