how beautiful a garden or rosebush that you can create. In this

fingertips, but you will get 101 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. Now you will

give you with you all the time. Here are some of the best ideas
and tips for planting your roses. 1. Check with your local
gardening center or florist for the best type of roses to grow
in you climate. If you are a novice, you should look for disease
resistant types of roses because they require a lot less
maintenance. 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 if you'd like.
