Storm Member Joined: Mar 2004 Canada	We are mulching our entire garden this year with fine ground cedar mulch. Does anyone know if mulching lillies is ok? Also roses. I heard roses don't like cedar mulch and I can't afford to loose my lillies. Someone please help before I get burried in mulch. Thanks

A thin layer (5 cm/2 in.) of Premier bark mulch not only helps the soil stay cool and keeps weeds down, it also holds the mounded soil from washing away during heavy rains. I know that you can mulch roses. I have my roses mulched with cedar bark chips & they are huge & beautiful & very healthy. Although I am not sure about fine ground mulch, since it will not be as porous or allow for as much air circulation.
