Miri Talabac, Behnkes’ buyer of shrubs (including roses), reminds us that now’s the perfect time to start feeding our roses. She recommends Rose-tone, and nags us all to follow package instructions (though thankfully it’s organic, so it’s hard to overdo). Then feed monthly through July and once again in October to promote root growth.

Stephanie Fleming was raised at Behnke’s Nurseries in Beltsville. Her Mom, Sonja, was one of Albert & Rose Behnke’s four children. She was weeding from the moment she could walk and hiding as soon as she was old enough to run, so many weeds, so little time. Although she quickly learned how to pull out a perennial and get taken off of weed pulling duty.
