Question - When should I plant perennials and when should I cut them back?

Answer -Perennials can be planted any time of year up to mid fall. They must be kept well watered the first season. You should cut back perennials, in late fall or when they die back naturally (turn yellow and wilt)

Question - I love roses, how can I have a rose garden when I hear they are so difficult to take care of?

Answer - Modern hybrid roses are much less susceptible to diseases. Plant them where they will get 5 hours or more of full sun. Prune back the dead blooms. Most garden centers carry a product which will take care of all fertilization, fungicide, and insect problems.
