Growing Roses
So you want to grow roses? They are a beautiful choice for your
garden and not nearly as difficult to grow as you might think.
Choose a rose that is easy to grow. Some choices might be ‘Sunsprite’,
‘Baby Love’, ‘The Fairy’, ‘Iceberg’, or ‘Flower Carpet’.
Also check to see which roses do well in your climate. When choosing a
rose think about the colors and fragrance that appeals to you.
Understand the soil type and provide good drainage. Use organic matter
to make your soil better for the roses. Plant your roses correctly and
in the best place in your garden for the rose’s success.
Know how often to water and how much water to give the roses. Too much
water is not good so develop a watering schedule and stick to it.
Understand how the different types of water systems work. You can choose
from sprinklers, an underground watering system or a drip irrigation
system. It is usually good to keep the water off the leaves if you live
in an area where rose diseases are a problem.
Mulching keeps the water in and the weeds away. Mulching is a very good
idea when growing roses. Mulch in the early spring when you remove the
protective coverings from winter. If you live in a warmer climate spread
the mulch just before the roses start to leaf out.
Learn the kinds of nutrients your roses need and follow a specific
fertilizing program. When growing roses it is important to test the pH
of your soil. If the pH is right the roots can interact with the enzymes
and bacteria in the soil and do well with the natural nutrients and the
ones you add. The pH can be between 5.6 and 7.2 however 6 to 6.5 is
best. By testing the soil you will know which nutrients to add.
Learn how to prune your roses. Pruning keeps the roses healthy and
looking good.
Prevent pest and disease problems before they happen. Learn how to
control pests and choose safe pest control products.
Growing roses is a delightful hobby and not nearly as complicated as you
might have heard.
