I inherited this hybrid tea rose when I moved into my new Tucson home. This is all about the late summer pruning & rejuvenating a neglected rose.

I wouldn’t have planted a rose here in the Sonoran Desert but when you move into a new house, you get the garden & all the plants along with it. The rose grows outside my bedroom window & stands over 6′ tall. I know it’s a hybrid tea but couldn’t tell which variety it was because the 2 flowers it produced were small & most likely off color. This happens when roses aren’t properly pruned & nourished. After 3 months of looking at this somewhat sad specimen, I decided to spring into action with the Felcos.
Roses need cleaning up, pruning, dead heading & feeding because it takes a lot of energy for them to grow and flower.
This post isn’t about the big pruning you’d do on a hybrid tea rose (here in Tucson that time is late January/early February) but a lighter 1 late in the season to hopefully rejuvenate it. I did this pruning right after Labor Day. The rose had only produced 2 smallish blooms in 3 months & much of the foliage was edged in yellow & brown. It grows in the very back corner of my side garden right so to say it was neglected was an under statement.
After pruning, I applied a 2-3″ layer of local, organic compost around the base of this rose. It was early September so I didn’t want to fertilize it. I wanted to show it some love & give it a little boost.
The proof’s in the pudding I always say. This rose, which I discovered is French Perfume, flowered about 5-6 weeks after I pruned it. Every cane except for 1 bloomed with large, fragrant flowers & the foliage looks nice and healthy. I’ll give it a big pruning in late winter, lighter prunings throughout the season & feed it a few times. Next year this rose’ll be a blooming machine!
