It's a great time to plant!  Don't put that shovel away yet, the planting season is just beginning. If you want bigger, stronger plants, that require less maintenance, then you want to plant in the fall!  The days are warm and the nights are cool. The cooler weather of fall creates a perfect opportunity for young plants to establish in a low stress environment. 

It's still too early to winterize roses; wait until the soil has cooled.  Winterizing them now will trap warmth in the soil, preventing them from going dormant and causing winter damage.
