I live in central Floridaand have had roses for the past six years. When I arrived here in Nov., I cut back the roses as usual. Usually they come back quickly, but this year they look sad with little green growth which looks stunted. Can I save these roses and how Thank you

Hi Fran,Pruning roses in Central Texas in done in February. The day we tell everyone is easy to remeber, Valentine's Day. Your roses were pruned a little too early and that is why they are not leafing out quite yet. A good rule of thumb is clip back no more than a third of the bush, encouraging full folliage. The roses should pop out in March, once this takes place feeding them Garden-Ville Rose Food. For now, you can water your roses with seaweed deeply every 7 days, this helps the plant pop out of shock by nuturing it with sea minerals.
