Do you really mean you "need to keep logs for every 3 months"? Or do you mean that you need to keep "the most recent 3 months' logs"? I would recommend that you rotate every month, and keep 4 months' logs. Firstly, there's no point in letting indivdual log files grow too large, and secondly, you then know that at all times you have the current month's logs, plus the previous 3 months, until the fourth one gets deleted by logrotate.
