Planting & Growing Roses
Planting and growing rose bushes is easy and rewarding. Here
are some simple tips to help you plant the perfect rose bush.
Plant your rose bushes in an area that receives a minimum of six
hours of sunshine each day. Dig the hole for planting large enough to
give the roots plenty of room.
It may be wise to add peat moss or some form of compost to the dirt
in the hole before planting the rose. Sand should also be added if the
soil is extremely moist.
Examine the roots carefully after the plant is placed in the hole.
Trim back dead or broken roots with a hand pruner.
Use top soil to form a cone in the bottom of the hole where the rose
bush is to be planted. Spread the rose roots evenly over this cone.
Again, make sure the hole is large enough to provide adequate room for
all rose roots.
Set the rose bush at the proper depth. Most healthy rose bushes have
three strong shoots coming up from the root system. Cover the knot just
below the three shoots to a depth of 1".
Pack the soil firmly around the roots of the rose bush. Fill the hole
with water and allow it to soak in. Then, refill the hole again.
Prune the rose bush after planting. Prune hybrid tea roses back to
lengths of about 6" to 8". Trim floribundas to lengths of approximately
4" to 6". Spray all pruned areas with a special pruning paint to prevent
damage from insects and disease.
* Build a mound around the newly planted rose bush with loose soil of
top grade.
