When it comes to preparing shrub roses for winter, they are notably the easiest variety to care for. Thanks to their robust root structure, shrub roses tend to be highly resilient to cold weather. Unless you reside in an area prone to severe winter conditions, shrub roses generally require minimal attention to endure.
To ready shrub roses for winter, make sure to clear away any fallen leaves around the base of the plant. As with other rose varieties, leaves can harbor disease and conceal pests, making their removal essential.
Once the plant has entered its dormant phase, apply a layer of compost measuring three to four inches around the base. This acts as a protective barrier against the fluctuating temperatures of freezing and thawing, while also supplying nutrients as it decomposes into the soil come spring.
Here’s to providing the right kind of fall care for your roses this year, ensuring they’re well-prepared for winter and poised to bloom even bigger and stronger in the coming year!
