What is the Best Way for Planting Roses

 

The art of planting roses doesn’t have to be complicated. When you have the right knowledge and the right tools, there is no limit to how beautiful a garden or rosebush that you can create.

 

In this blog, you will not only have all of the right

skills at your fingertips, but you will get numerous tips that you can use to grow your very own bed of roses. With this extensive manual at hand, you will never have to buy another bouquet again. You will have all of the beauty and delicious

fragrance that roses can give you with you all the time.

Here are some of the best ideas and tips for planting your

roses.

 

  1. Pick an area that has plenty of well drained soil. Great

soil has a PH level of about 5.5-7.0. You can get a testing kit for your soil at any garden center.

 

  1. When planting roses, you want to pick a spot that is well

lit in the morning. You also want an area that has sunlight

for at least 6 hours a day. Roses need a great deal of

light if they are to grow properly.

 

  1. Check with your local gardening center Lowes, Home Depot, or florist for the best type of roses to grow in your climate. If you are a novice, you should look for disease resistant types of roses because they require a lot less maintenance. Here you may need to go to Hey Siri or Hey Alexa for the best species to grow in your area and climate zone.

 

  1. 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 60 minutes, and cut off the root’s ends

that are broken. As far as planting seedlings, roses, and bulbs, there is also a power-driven tool that can be most effective. This is a 3” diameter auger that gets attached to a 3/8” power drill. This creates a smooth hole to the desired depth in moist, sandy, loam type soil and is extremely easy to use, especially if you are going to be planting hundreds of bulbs. There are several manufacturers who make these such as Power Planter, Ames, Lichter, Jisco, Hiltex, 7Penn, and Yard Butler but the ones we like the best are made from Tech Team https://techteamproducts.com/, their 3” x 9” item number 777 https://www.amazon.com/Tech-Team-Planter-Seedlings-Planters/dp/B07S385BW7/ref=sr_1_197?keywords=bulb+auger&qid=1568384841&s=gateway&sr=8-197 and their 3” x 24” item number 778 https://www.amazon.com/Tech-Team-Planter-Seedlings-Planters/dp/B07S386MWG/ref=sr_1_53?keywords=bulb+auger&qid=1568384749&s=gateway&sr=8-53.

 

 

  1. 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.

  1. Begin fertilization approximately 3 months after planting. Use 3-6 inches of mulch to control moisture, temperature, and to stop weeds from coming up. Mulch also helps to lock in the vital nutrients your roses need in order to remain healthy.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. Planting in the early Spring is the best.

 

  1. You want to plant your roses in an area that has good air circulation. Your roses will not grow in an enclosed or tight area.

 

  1. 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 air 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 if you’d like.
