Hi there,
I purchased two David Austin Crown Princess Margareta rosebushes that I am madly in love with. They bloomed in two large containers on my deck all last season. I know nothing about growing roses. My instinct told me to protect them through the harsh Western N.Y. winter so I moved the containers into my garage where they've been all winter. They look like they survived the winter in a dormant state. We had a warm snap in February and they sprouted some new growth. I've really just ignored them and now wonder what to do! Do I just move them back to deck and start watering? Should I fertilize? Prune? As I said, I'm quite ignorant to growing them but so enjoyed the beautiful blooms all last season. Just researching this topic did not give me answers so I'm hoping someone can address my particular concerns. Thank you:)
Elizabeth
