Discover the Beauty of Roses at the Pasadena Rose Parade
If you want to experience the breathtaking beauty of roses, there's no better place than the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena, California. In 2006, the Bayer Advanced Jack and the Rose Stalk float led the parade, showcasing four stunning All-America Rose Selections: Julia Child, Rainbow Sorbet, Tahitian Sunset, and Wild Blue Yonder.
Lance Walheim, a garden expert with Bayer Advanced™ and author of "Roses for Dummies," shares that growing roses has never been simpler. Here are some key guidelines to keep in mind:
- Choose Quality Plants: Roses are graded by the American Nursery & Landscape Association. Opt for a
1 rose for the best performance in your first summer. Check the packaging for the grade.
- Inspect Carefully: Avoid roses with dry, shriveled canes.
- Prepare the Roots: Soak the roots overnight before planting. If you can't plant immediately, keep the packing material around the roots moist.
- Sunlight Needs: Ensure your roses receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Planting Site Prep: Fill the planting hole with water and let it drain. If water remains after 24 hours, consider planting elsewhere or use pots or raised beds.
- Soil Preparation: Mix the dug-out soil with equal parts compost or ground bark. Place some of this mixture at the bottom of the hole to form a cone-shaped mound.
- Planting Tips: Trim any damaged or dead roots. Plant the rose at the same depth it grew in the field, indicated by a color change on the stem, with the bud union above ground. In colder areas, plant deeper to cover the bud union with soil.
- Finishing Up: Fill the hole with soil, create a watering basin, and water thoroughly.
- Mulch and Protection: Use compost or ground bark mulch to cover the canes several inches above the bud union.
- Fertilization and Pest Control: Bayer Advanced™ All-in-One Rose and Flower Care fertilizes and protects from pests such as aphids and Japanese beetles, and diseases like powdery mildew and black spot. One application offers up to six weeks of protection, working systemically through the plant.
By following these steps, you can ensure your roses thrive, turning your garden into a vibrant floral haven.
