Another thing we wondered was, what happens when Roses go dormant?
Some authors claimed during the dormant period, roses lose their blooms and leaves. Cold temperatures cause tender growth to darken and die back. However, don’t give a rose up for dead because canes are leafless, black and dead-looking as other roses emerge from dormancy; take the time to thoroughly assess its condition before declaring your rose a goner.
Dead flowers and fallen leaves could cause your rose bush to develop diseases. Pick up any dead petals or leaves around the bush by hand and discard or compost it. Don’t compost diseased plants since it could spread to other plants.
Spring is the best season to prune roses, after the last snows of the harsh winter melt away. Another session of pruning should be done in the summer when the dead flowers can be snipped off. Roses should be pruned in the winter to prevent the longer stems from snapping off in the blizzards.
