More about me...
Summer is here! With the temperature hovering into the high 90s and the heat index at 100+ for several days now, there are several things we ought to do to keep our roses happy during the dog days of summer. The roses are suffering from extreme heat and so does the rosarian who takes care of them. With the searing heat, you have to learn how to slow down. Drink a lot of water while working in the garden. Take a break every so often. Wear protective gear like hat, long sleeves and sunscreen. Try to work early in the garden before the sun is up or late in the afternoon when it is cooler.
