How To Plant Roses?

What do you need to know about planting roses? 

• When spring arrives and the ground has thawed, it's time to start planting your rose garden.

• Roses come from biblical times and were then and still are considered valuable aphrodisiacs. 

• Roses have a special mystery and charm, not to mention their looks and scent! Roses need 4-6 hours of sunlight a day. 

• It is best not to plant too many trees or other plants around the rose bush as most of them can merge with the rose or stifle its growth. 

• If you are replacing an old rose bush, you should remove about 1 cubic meter of old soil and replace it with fresh soil. 

• When you place a rose in your garden or landscape, think about how the rose will grow. For example, place tendrils and walkers along fences, trellises, or next to arches or arbors. 

• This location gives them free growth and the best potential for the largest, showiest buds. 

• The rose is also beautiful in flower beds mixed with perennials. 

• Miniature roses make excellent plants for borders over their larger cousins. 

• Shrub roses make beautiful specimens planted individually, or they can be grouped to form a flowering hedge. 

• They can also hide unsightly garden items. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball and loosen the bottom of the hole. 

• You should add bone meal, which is a slow-acting source of phosphorus that promotes healthy rose root growth. 

• Particular attention should be paid to the depth of planting. 

• This varies depending on the climate you live in. 

• If you live in a cooler area, plant a little deeper and consult rose growers in your area. 

• If you buy pot roses, you should plant them about 2.5 cm deep in the pot. 

• The plant should be carefully placed in the hole and the hole filled with soil so that the roots are completely covered. 

• Before the last coat of paint, water the rose and let it absorb the water.

• Then water the plant more and fill in the soil about 6 inches high. 

• The dome keeps the stems from drying out until the plant is rooted. 

• Gradually remove excess soil as the leaves open. 

• The best time for planting roses depends on the winter temperatures. 

• Where the temperatures do not fall below -10 degrees F; Sowing in autumn or spring is fine. 

• If you live in an area where winter temperatures decrease below -10 degrees F, spring planting is best. 

• Plants should be planted dormant if purchased bare-rooted, but container plants can be planted throughout the growing season. 

• The distance of the roses depends heavily on the temperature. 

• In regions with harsh winters, the rose does not grow as tall as in mild climates. 

• However, hybrid tea roses should be spaced 1 1/2 to 3 feet apart. 

• Large, vigorous growers like the hybrid perennial require 3 to 5 feet of space and climbers need 8 to 10 feet. 

• If the winter temperature is below 10 degrees F, roses can grow healthily with proper care. 

• The gardener must prepare for this cold and humid reality by taking advantage of summer air conditioning. 

• In zones 7 and colder, roses will benefit from the last fertilizing of the season by August 15 to limit the emergence of new rosebuds that will almost certainly not survive the winter.
