🌱 Winter Rose Care Tip: The Power of Mulching! 🌱
Even though we’re knee-deep in winter weather across much of the U.S., it’s never too late to learn how to protect and nurture your roses with proper mulching practices!
Here’s how organic mulching benefits your roses this winter:
🍂 Temperature Regulation: Mulch acts as a natural insulator, protecting your rose roots from harsh temperature fluctuations.
🍂 Moisture Retention: It helps the soil retain moisture, preventing dehydration during cold, dry weather.
🍂 Weed Suppression: Mulch keeps pesky weeds at bay, giving your roses more nutrients to thrive.
🍂 Soil Enrichment: Organic mulch breaks down over time, enriching the soil with nutrients your roses will love.
How to Mulch Your Roses:
1️⃣ Apply a 2-4 inch layer of organic material like wood chips, bark, straw, or compost around the base of your rose bush.
2️⃣ Keep the mulch a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot.
3️⃣ Refresh the mulch as needed throughout the season for continued benefits.
Winter care is key to ensuring your roses emerge strong and healthy come spring. 🌹 Are you using mulch this winter? Let us know in the comments!

❄️ You Could Be Watering Your Roses Wrong—And It’s Costing Your Roses! 🥀
Think roses don’t need water in winter? Think again! While they require less water during cooler months, dry spells can still wreak havoc on your plants. Here’s why winter watering is essential:
🌡️ Moist Soil = Root Protection: Cold winds wick away moisture, leaving roots dry and vulnerable to freeze damage. Keeping the soil slightly moist helps create a temperate environment for your roses.
❄️ Snow or Ice Isn’t Enough: Even if you’ve had some winter precipitation, it might not penetrate deep enough. Check your soil and water lightly if the top few inches are dry.
🌱 Newly Planted Roses: If your roses have been planted in the past two weeks, they’ll need more frequent watering to establish strong roots.
✅ Tip: Water deeply and less often—but don’t let your roses sit in soggy soil!
