Fall Rose Care: Planting and Preparing for a Strong Spring Bloom

Planting roses in the fall allows them to establish strong root systems before winter, giving them a head start when spring arrives. Fall rose care centers on preparing your bushes for winter dormancy by pruning, cleaning up fallen leaves to prevent disease, and providing appropriate winter protection so your roses can emerge healthy and ready to grow when the weather warms.
