Prune and feed roses
• Prune roses once they send out tiny red buds that will turn into stems. Once the stems are about 1/2 inch long, the rose is pretty well out of dormancy and you can tell what wood is alive and what has been killed by winter cold.
• Give roses their first feeding at pruning time. If you like, use a combination granular-type fertilizer/insecticide.
