Planting
Locations:
Roses
do best in Full
Sun.
Plant away from tree and shrub roots that could take away needed water.
Locations with good air circulation, out of strong winds, and good spacing
between plants, lessen the chance of foliar diseases. Roses prefer well drained
soil or raised beds. Rose beds should be deeply dug with generous amounts of
organic matter added. Compost can serve as organic matter and nutrient-rich
fertilizer.
Basic
Needs:
Roses
require Consistently
Moist Soil
throughout
the growing season. Deep supplemental watering may be needed, depending on soil
type and weather. Watering methods include basin flooding for individual roses,
or drip irrigation and overhead sprinkling for mass watering. Mulch maintains
moisture and prevents hard baked soil, provides cooling, deters weeds, and
promotes healthy soil structure. For proper nutrition, commercial or organic
fertilizer should be applied as growth begins and when bloom period ends.
Compost tea can be administered during basin watering or by spraying plants.
