Question by birdinhand55@sbcglobal.net: Lady Banks Tea Rose in the Arizona Desert: What is a good fertilizing schedule?
Hello gardening enthusiasts! I have in the ground, with morning to early mid day sun, a Lady Banks Tea Rose bush. I got it from the nursery about 27 months ago. It gets hot here in the Sonoran Desert, but I have heard there is a specimen in Tucson that has grown as large as a redwood tree (that may be stretching it a little; but I have heard it is huge; so they are supposed to do very well here.

But I have next to no experience with roses of any kind and I need some advice on

1) how and when to fertilize
2) how and when to prune.

I have the bush growing up on some lattice at present, but it isn’t very tall; maybe only 4 ft.

Hope to get some good advice.

Thanks to all of you who contribute advise. I will read every reply.

Hi Walt, first of all, Lady Banks is not a Tea Rose, it is a climber. It blooms once a year in the Spring. So, if you need to control the size with pruning, you prune right after it flowers NOT in the winter as you would do with other roses. Fertilizing should be done on a regular schedule for best result, if you can, once a month with rose fertilizer, water regularly, more if it is very hot. During the winter months, fertilize with a 0-10-10 fertilizer, this is a fert. without nitrogen. That is important so you do not push green growth during the cold season. It’s a great rose and well worth the effort.

They do exist. You need to talk with a local nursery or plant dealer about varieties he would recommend for your area.
