Watch for a surprise
frost and cover tender annuals.

Greetings!
Have you ever wondered why when
you visit local plant nurseries
this time of year you find many
spring and summer flowers for
sale and yet we do not start our
repotting season until late
April?
There is an excellent reason for
this. Flowers planted for the
summer need to make it through
October and if we plant them in
March, they have to perform for
nine months. This is an unfair
request of any living thing in
our harsh summer sun! So in
all fairness to our flowering
friends, we make every effort to
split the year into two growing
periods and ask them to provide
us with six months of beautiful
blooms!
With our
GardenCareTM
TLC, we can coax your winter
flowers to perform well into
May. We still will experience
some wonderful cool nights over
the next six+ weeks and during
this time, our winter flowers
will flourish! Sit back and
enjoy them while you can. We
will be floating in our pools
soon enough!
Here's to Tucson Outdoor Living!

Rose Care from Tucson's
Rose Society
Now is the time to begin a proper
fertilization schedule, and at each
step be sure to water well the night
before fertilizing:
1. For the first
week use an organic fertilizer,
scratch into the earth and
water.
2. Two weeks
later, use a water soluble
fertilizer.
3. Use a fish
emulsion once per month to help
get microorganisms growing.
If
you have newly planted roses, DO NOT
fertilize, until after their first
bloom!
Spray your Roses! The spring bring
aphids, thrips, and mildew to your
plants. Spray your roses with a jet
spray setting on the hose in the
morning, twice per week to assist in
preventing unwanted critters and
mold. For more information, go to
the
Rose Society's website
Continue to water your roses and
increase the frequency to three
times per week as the temperatures
increase. In addition, water to
18-24 inches deep, not soggy;
however, you do not want the soil to
dry before the next watering.
