Roses: Prune out dead and weak canes of your hybrid teas and floribundas. This is the beginning of the rose planting period so contact your local nursery for plants that are number one grade with disease resistant foliage. Continue your regular program of pest and disease control and feed your plants with a good systemic rose and flower granular fertilizer (12-18-6), or use a soluble fertilizer of (18-24-16). Keep your plants well mulched with organic ground cover mulch. Prune ramblers and climbers and attach them to support for protection against wind. Remember to seal all pruning wounds with pruning paint or seal.
Flowers and bulbs: Continue to divide and plant perennials such as dianthus (pinks) gerberas and violets. Continue to plant annuals and perennials. Remove faded blooms on your flowering plants. Fertilize ixorias, gardenias with a fertilizer that contains chelated iron.
Bulbs: Check your local nursery for the availability of bulbs that will provide you with flowers in March. Lift and divide day lilies, cannas and dahllias.
Vegetables and herbs: This is the time to set out your garden seeds or transplant your young seedlings. Fertilize cabbages, cauliflower, broccoli and brussels sprouts with a soluble fertilizer so that the nutrients are instantly available to the plant through their leaves. Since these vegetables are heavy feeders, this type of feeding will increase the size and quality of the vegetables.
Lawns: Rake fallen leaves on your lawn, and continue your program to control weeds and lawn pests — especially chinch bugs and white flies which appear at this time in large numbers. Fertilize your lawn with a granular fertilizer (27-3-4 with two percent of chelated iron) or use a soluble fertilizer (36-6-6) and apply it with the special lawn sprayer which is connected to your garden hose.
Fruit trees: Feed your fruit trees with a granular fertilizer (10-20-20). This feeding will assist your plants in producing a good crop of fruits next year. Citrus trees that are still with fruit, you should fertilize lightly.
Propagation: Continue your air layering of shrubs, trees, vines and evergreens. Continue to take cuttings of vigorous stems nine to 12 inches in length.
Watch for: Insects, leaf rollers, apids, white flies, mealy bugs and scale. Control by spraying with Diazinon, Sevin, Malathion, Isotox or Orthene Systemic Insect Spray and don't forget to add two teaspoon of dishwashing liquid to every gallon of solution.
Slugs and snails: Look out for these pets as they will attack your young seedlings and small plants in your flower and vegetable garden. Use a good slug and snail bait such as Ortho Bug-Geta Plus which is an ideal bait that you can put into your hands and spread in the garden in the early evening.
