In a Texas summer, roses, even antique roses - the truly time-tested work horses, are not great performers. The flowers get progressively smaller as the heat rises. There are also fewer blooms. But, considering it is the middle of June (with temperatures already in the 90s), my rose garden looks pretty good. A steady fertilization schedule helps sustain blooming because hot temperatures deplete the soil of valuable nutrients. Of course, the hotter it gets the less motivated I become to haul heavy fertilizer around!
