    Ways to Grow the Garden’s Favorite Roses - part 3

    How to Plant Roses

    Planting roses is the most critical part of growing roses. That’s why it should be considered as carefully as possible.

    So, how to start planting? Well, here are some simple steps for you to follow:

    1.Look for an area with a free drainage as the roots of rose cannot typically stand being sodden.

    2.Soak the rose bush in a bucket of water.

    3.Dig a hole measuring about two feet wide and two feet deep.

    4.Add some compost to the soil. Sheep’s manure and peat moss will do.

    5.Add some forms of fertilizer, like bonemeal. Mix it up with the soil and fill the hole with water.

    6.Once the hole drained away, plant the grafted rose. Keep the bud union at the surface.

    7.If you are living in country with a very cold winter, push the bush down up to three inches below the surface of the soil.

    8.Hill up the soil around the base of the rose bush. This is necessary to prevent any sign of drying out which will possibly happen if the weather gets cold or very hot. You can remove this covering as soon as roots find its own way to the soil.

    9.To maintain the growth, water the rose regularly.

    Note these steps, and if possible, try to exert some time and effort for taking care of your newly planted roses. Water them regularly as that’s what roses need to survive.


    Other Helpful Tips

    There are a lot more steps you can do to make your roses grow as lively and blooming as possible. Perhaps one of the necessary steps to take to keep your roses great is to prune them in the right way and in the right time.

    According to some experts, pruning in winter is not a good idea. The right time to prune rosebushes is in spring when new growth appears. Just prune off old flowers when they fade, including those dead branches.

    During the growing season, it is wise to fertilize the rosebushes twice. But do the application only in the “right time”, which would be the spring soon after the first growth appears for the first fertilizer and in mid-season for the second fertilizer. And, never fertilize the roses in the fall, especially if you are living in an area where four-season climate is available.

    Speaking of fall, it is also best recommended for every rose grower to always protect the roots of the rosebushes in the fall, perhaps with one foot of straw or compost placed on the base of the bushes. In the same season, you can also consider covering the protective blanket with plastic, if desired.


    So that’s basically it! Now that you’ve read and learned the basics of growing roses, it’s now time for you to start incorporating these ideas into your actual work. Start growing the fragrant and beautiful roses in your own gardens to bring colors and life into your home. Just use what you have learned from this article to make sure that you are growing the gardens’ favorite in a positive way.
