Roses are universally
favorite plants. The bright vibrant hues give
gardens a splash of color. You can smell the heady
perfume of roses during summer as they fill the air.
With so many different varieties to choose from rose
gardening is a marvelous experience.
While it’s true that there many roses that you can
choose from, the type is not important. What is
important is that you plant them where you can reap
the benefits later on. |
Roses are hardy
plants. With so many gardeners breeding new hardy
varieties, roses can now grow in any type of
condition. Difficult soil and garden problems are no
longer a barrier to well grown rose gardens.
The key to rose gardening lies in buying plants that
are at least two years old, that have been field
grown and are budded. If your young rose plants are
pruned then the heavy stems need to be 1/4 inches in
diameter at the top. On the other hand if the rose
plant is not pruned, then there should be three or
more heavy stems that are 18 inches in diameter.
You need to plant your roses in a sunny,
well-drained spot. You should trim of all the
bruised and broken stems off. In rose gardening
roses needed to be eased into the ground. You first
dig a hole 6 inches deeper than the rose roots need,
then make the hole wide and big all around so that
the roots will not grow crowded or bent.
The bottom of the hole should have small rocks or
pebbles in it. This rock formation will aid in the
drainage for the roses. After the stones have been
placed, mix one tablespoon of fertilizer over the
stones. Above this lay good fertile soil until the
level is where you will plant your rose plant. In
the mound of soil make a small hole and carefully
plant your rose bush in there. You will need to make
sure that the hole has room for the roots. Then
cover the roots with soil, firming the soil every so
often.
 Rose gardening requires that you feed your roses at
regular intervals to ensure healthy growth. The
first feeding should therefore be given in early
spring, before the roses bloom. The second feeding
will come after the first heavy blossoming is
finished. The third feeding occurs in late summer.
If you are lucky there might be roses that will
bloom until about November. If this is the case,
then feed your plants a fourth time around
While all this care does help in rose gardening,
chemical pesticides are needed to prevent sucking
and chewing insects from damaging your roses. This
pesticide also works to cut down on the fungus that
likes to grow on roses.
Rose gardening is a lovely pleasant smelling hobby
to do. If you take care of your plant during the
initial days, then you will be rewarded with big,
vibrant blossoms that are a joy to behold.
