2. When planting roses, you
want to pick a spot that is
well lit in the morning. You
also want an area that is
sunlit for at least 6 hours a
day. Roses need a great deal
of light if they are to grow
properly.
3. Pick an area that has
plenty of well drained soil.
Great soil has a PH level
where the amount of acid in
the soil is at about 5.5-7.0.
You can get a testing kit for
your soil at any garden
center.

4. Organic matter like manure
or lime helps to nourish the
roots of your roses. You
should soak the roots in water
or puddle clay for many
minutes, and cut off the
root's ends that are broken.
5. The first 3-4 weeks after
planting your roses, you
should water them often.
Usually this is when the top 2
inches of soil is dry. Roses
need a lot of hydration and
food to remain healthy.

6. Four weeks after planting,
you should start soaking the
bed every 2 weeks or so. You
should do this in the morning
for the best results.
7. Begin fertilization
approximately 3 months after
planting. Use 3-6 inches of
mulch to control the moisture,
temperature, and to stops
weeds from coming up. Mulch
also helps to lock in the
vital nutrients your roses
need in order to remain
healthy.

8. Planting in the Spring is
the best.
9. You want to plant your
roses in an area that is well
circulated with air. Your
roses will not grow in an
enclosed or tight area.
10. Dig a hole that is two
times bigger than the amount
of space that your roses take
up. It makes it easier to
plant them and creates a
spaced area for them to grow
with freedom. Poor circulation
for your roses can cause
fungal diseases. Using a
larger hole also makes it
easier for you to pull them up
later and pot them.
