The art of planting roses doesn’t have to be a
complicated thing to do. When you have the right
knowledge there is no limit to how beautiful a
garden or rosebush that you can create.
Now you will have all of the beauty and delicious
fragrance that roses can give you with you all the
time.
Here are some of the best ideas and tips for
planting your roses.
1. Check with your local gardening centre or florist
for the best type of roses to grow in you climate.
If you are a novice, you should look for disease
resistant types of roses because they require a lot
less maintenance.
2. When planting roses, you should pick a spot that
is well lit in the morning. You also want an area
that is sunlit for at least 6 hours a day. Roses
need a great deal of light if they are to grow
properly.
3. Pick an area that has plenty of well drained
soil. Great soil has a PH level where the amount of
acid in the soil is at about 5.5-7.0. You can get a
testing kit for your soil at any garden centre.
4. Organic matter like manure or lime helps to
nourish the roots of your roses. You should soak the
roots in water or puddle clay for many minutes, and
cut off the root’s ends that are broken.
5. The first 3-4 weeks after planting your roses,
you should water them often. Usually this is when
the top 2 inches of soil is dry. Roses need a lot of
hydration and food to remain healthy.
6. Four weeks after planting, you should start
soaking the bed every 2 weeks or so. You should do
this in the morning for the best results.
7. Begin fertilization approximately 3 months after
planting. Use 3-6 inches of mulch to control the
moisture, temperature, and to stops weeds from
coming up. Mulch also helps to lock in the vital
nutrients your roses need in order to remain
healthy.
8. Planting in the Spring is the best.
9. You should plant your roses in an area that is
well
circulated with air. Your roses will not grow in an
enclosed or tight area.
10. Dig a hole that is two times bigger than the
amount of space that your roses take up. It makes it
easier to plant them and creates a spaced area for
them to grow with freedom. Poor circulation for your
roses can cause fungal diseases. Using a larger hole
also makes it easier for you to pull them up later
and pot them if you’d like.
