    Living in California all of my 75 years, and being a rose gardener for 50-plus of those years, I've always pruned my roses in mid-January, and with great success. In Kentucky I would suggest mid-February. Good luck to you.

    Regardless of the type of rosebush, some rosebushes will take a bit of a rest period to store up strength and nutrition for more bloom cycles. We can actually make that rest period a prolonged period by trying to do too much. Such as when it comes to feeding the rosebushes. There are some fertilizers on the market called Bloom Boosters, I scratch my head at that name too. Most of them are very high in nitrogen which will actually cause more foliage growth and cut way down on bloom production. If you have not ever given them any of the teas, such as compost tea, alfalfa tea or Moo Poo tea, I recommend doing so. These teas build the soils home of the rosebushes as well as giving them some great nutrition that is not out of balance. I give my rosebushes some kelp meal at least once a season as well. Using some natural organic items helps build that soils home which will help in keeping the roses blooming better and longer.

    If you have a product called Sevin there, I would obtain that and spray the rosebushes down with that product well. Then reapply it in 10 to 12 days. If Sevin is not available there, please consult with a local rose society to find help.

    I think a drip tray would work, but just make sure that the soil does not stay too wet, as this will encourage rot.

    The true green rose looks much like a weed but is a unique and neat rosebush for the rose garden. A rose that has yellow blooms with a green tint is called Saint Patrick. Both may be grown in southern California, here are some links for you:
