Sustainable Roses are:

  1. Long-lived
  2. Disease-resistant
  3. Strong and tolerant of adverse (Colorado) conditions
  4. Cold hardy to at least zone 5 and preferably zone 4 or zone 3.
  5. Own-root (not grafted)
  6. Good performers with minimal inputs

Maintenance and Care of Sustainable Roses:

  1. Water once a week if needed, or twice a week during peak bloom or in severe heat and/or drought
  2. Fertilize twice (or 3 times) a year with a good organic fertilizer
  3. Mulch 3—4″ deep to suppress weeds, to retain moisture and support soil microorganisms.
  4. Prune out dead and diseased canes, thin if canes are too dense, and compact canes that are too long or in the way of paths or entries.
  5. Winter protection can be helpful the first winter or two. Pile soil or half compost, half sand over the canes 6—2″ deep, with a coarse mulch over that.
  6. Pest management should be mostly selecting the right plants and keeping them strong and healthy. Spray rarely if needed.
  7. If a rose gets diseases every year, needs frequent fertilizations, often has bug problems or performs poorly, shovel prune it and replace it.
