Clueless rose gardener

17 years ago

I have an autumn sunset and westerland that were planted last year and 2 lavender lassies that are new. I used rose tone and epsom salts on the new and old ones....I was very interested in the banana and coffee ground post....should I fertilize once in early spring and again after first bloom? No fall fert? Am I supposed to clip the roses after the bloom fades and if so do I clip right below the bloom or cut down further on the stem. I really want these to be beautiful and I don't know a lot about roses. I will be using compost in the fall or later in the summer when it is finished. Do you know of a good book for beginners?

Thanks for any help,

Kiki
