It’s that time of year again.  One day it is 75 F and sunny and the next day a late frost covers the ground in a crusty white.  Deer and rabbits have come out of hiding.  And gardeners have already begun, or are just beginning, to work their soil and bring their gardens back to life.

All of these events happening around the same time can result in a perfect storm of sorts.  So it’s important to protect your spring plants, reemerging perennials and budding trees with Liquid Fence products.

Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent will prevent the nibbling and destroying of young plants and new growth.  And Granular Liquid Fence Deer & Rabbit Repellent will make planting your vegetable garden a breeze.  Just shake around low-growing plants and seedlings.

And don’t forget the FreezePruf!  This innovative product will change how you feel about frost.  FreezePruf protects the plant externally and internally by enhancing both its natural “anti-freeze” like properties and its ability to survive ice crystal damage.

When and how to trim and protect your roses

Posted on February 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

Rose trimming was always a point of confusion in my house.  My mom always meant to trim the rose bushes in the spring; but, if she had more time in the fall, she would deem the fall the appropriate time of year.  Then there were those ever-more-common instances where she was frustrated by the size and legginess of her rose bushes in the middle of June and she would begin to chop, leaving the yard riddled with bright pink blooms.

This process seemed a bit too haphazard for my regimented lifestyle.  But a quick google search proved my mom was not the only one with rose trimming issues.  Every other gardening website had a different suggested date for when to trim rose bushes.  While not everyone agrees on the subject, it is safe to trim in the spring, before the rose pushes out new growth.  Some experts suggest looking for the forsythia’s bloom as a sign for when to trim.  This is a great visual reminder.

To trim the bush, remember to use sharp instruments, so your cuts aren’t ragged.  Cut at a 45° angle and remove all woody, spindly and otherwise dead-looking branches.  Prune from the base of the plant and move your way up.  Be sure to remove any leftover leaves from the previous season.

Whether you are a fall trimmer or a spring trimmer, roses need to be trimmed in order to thrive.  To make sure your roses continue to thrive all year long, protect them with  American Rose Society Endorsed Liquid Fence® Deer & Rabbit Repellent.  The scent-based formula will stop deer from taking that first nibble.  And you’ll be able to enjoy your beautiful roses all summer long!
