Water as needed. Feed roses. Remove spent roses by cutting back to a five-leaflet leaf. Spread and deepen mulch. Sweep decks and patios often. Check container plants daily for moistness.

Cold-winter climate to-do's
@tip[2]
Pinch back mum, petunia, and most annuals for low bushy growth. Break pine candles in half; prune other evergreens back to desired size. Trim clipped deciduous hedges before growth hardens.

Feed sparingly every two or three months except during winter, when plants cease active growth.

Two feedings a year preferred for most bramble fruits. Extra summer feeding may increase crop.

Warm-winter climate to-do's
@tip[6]
Prune and thin spring-blooming shrubs. Transplant when rainy season starts. Watch for insects; wash or pick them off plants before they can multiply. Use fungicide where diseases usually are a problem, especially on roses.

Expose graft injunctions of roses. Mow lawn as needed; de-thatch now for fast recovery; treat chinch bugs. Continue to water plants as needed, especially newly set trees and shrubs.
