Planting Tips:
- Roses need plenty of sunlight and good air circulation to thrive. Choose a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day, and make sure there is good airflow around your plants to prevent diseases.
- Roses prefer rich, loamy, moist, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Amend your soil with compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve its fertility and texture. If your soil is heavy clay or sandy, consider adding organic matter to improve its water retention or drainage.
- Roses need consistent moisture to grow healthy and produce plenty of blooms. Water your plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on your climate and soil type. Avoid overhead watering, as this can lead to fungal diseases. Instead, use a soaker hose or drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the roots.
- Pruning and deadheading are essential for keeping your roses healthy and promoting vigorous growth and flowering. Prune your plants in late winter or early spring, removing dead wood and shaping the plant for the coming season. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the growing season to encourage more blooms and prevent disease.
