Planting Guide for Roses
Check with your local gardening center 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.
When planting roses, you want to 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.
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
center.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Planting in the Spring is the best.
You want to plant your roses in an area that is well circulated
with air. Your roses will not grow in an enclosed or tight area.
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.
