We hope everyone had a nice winter. We now have our 2020 dates for Roses. Click on this post to learn more!

Mark your calendars for this year’s Rose Tying and Tipping dates. The following dates for tying and tipping the Arb roses are as follows: Rose Tying: October 20, 2018 Rose Tipping: October 27, 2018 For those that want to learn how to winterize via the “Minnesota Tip Method”, this Arb activity is a good place…

No more nitrogen containing fertilizers for your roses. Instead fertilize with potassium/potash to help your roses harden off for winter. Alaska Morbloom is a good, easy source of potassium.

Japanese Beetles have arrived in the Twin Cities.  For quick knock down use Spinosad or Carbaryl.  For longer term effect try deltamethrin or bifenthrin. To kill grubs apply a good grub killer to your lawn between July 15th and Aug 1st.  For best results dethatch lawn first then water grub killer in after application.

It’s time for the 2017 work dates at the Wilson Rose Garden at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum!

Found first Japanese Beetle today. Right on time in comparison to past five years. Will monitor to determine if JB’s become an issue. If so will treat with bifenthrin and deltamethrin.
