Re: [Rose-list] is cedar apple rust a problem for roses

Philip:

Just thought of another way to use your cedar chips now...do you have any 
trees or 
shrubs that could use a mulch? If you use the chips around these now, add 
some 
grass clippings throughout the summer (they turn brown almost immediately) 
and it should compensate for the nitrogen loss this year, which shouldn't be 
enormous anyway. Then go to your source for aged manure and top-dress the 
roses with the manure, which I've been doing for 2 years now and it looks 
great and feeds the roses slowly and well.

Hope this helps - Joanie, Z.5a
