But with the cool days of fall (and if it doesn't rain too much) my roses will put forth a nice, making-up-for-lost-time display.MDNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472409345156364028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186063787661908241.post-84830215805999755242017-11-29T13:49:03.794-08:002017-11-29T13:49:03.794-08:00I think you do quite well with the roses, and how ...I think you do quite well with the roses, and how can we garden without them?!! Here I have begun letting mine go semi-dormant during the summer months in hopes they will bloom more strongly the rest of the year. I slow the watering and stop feeding as temperatures go over about 37 - 40 C. It seems to help as long as I then get enough water and food to them in autumn. I don't know whether this would work in your moister climate though... I'm still looking for good ways to grow them! ;-) They are so beautiful...Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186063787661908241.post-87217810360211366582017-11-27T22:06:47.964-08:002017-11-27T22:06:47.964-08:00Sigrid, one of the effects of harsh sun on roses i...Sigrid, one of the effects of harsh sun on roses is they lose their fragrance, many roses that in cooler months are strongly scented are odorless during these hot months.
