Where are you? Do you know the heat zone where you are gardening? I am assuming it is fairly warm. Here in CA (zone 9) we have roses (mostly teas and chinas) that bloom sporadically all winter. They are warm weather roses that originated in Asia. I usually prune & feed my roses in the middle of winter. They won't bloom any earlier, but as they are actively growing, I think it gives them a head start. However, you should not do that if there is any chance of a freeze - the new growth would die. That's why I asked about your climate.

Jimmy is in Australia, but I don't remember if on the coast or inland.

Jimmy, sometimes here I can have roses in December if the temps have been in the mild range through the fall, probably 8 - 10 C (45 - 50 F), and some rain. Similar to early spring. I use organic fertilizers, but they will continue to decompose if the soil temps are warm enough, so the plants are still being fed. I wouldn't fertilize now, just in case you do get a cold snap, you don't want tender new growth to be killed off. Enjoy the blooms!

My roses started blooming in winter in Minnessota . It has been mild winter and I keep them in my garage. I have not fed them and only water moist soil about every two weeks. What should I do?

This is a photo. Bewildered.

Rafael, Your garage is too warm. Ideally, they could go dormant now in your area in a cooler area or give them to a friend to board over the Winter in a heated greenhouse where they could get light.

Growing in the garage will weaken them.

Depending on where you are in Minnesota, you could bury them outside for the Winter.

Thx! Sheila
Can I bury them even if they bloomed?

Look up the Minnesota tip method for wintering roses, Rafael. You might put them outside to go dormant before burying them if it is mild in your area.
