A rose is a rose is rose - and there are few things in the garden more beautiful.

There are 5 secrets I want to share that will help you to grow healthy roses.

  • Sunshine: Plan to put your rose bush in a spot where it will get as much sun at least 6 hours of sunshine a day.

  • Water: Drops of water on the leaves can cause burning, and lead to black spot disease so always water from underneath, soaking the earth until it is damp but not soggy.

    It is better to water thoroughly once a week than lightly several times in the same period. Beware if your Roses get too much water, theyll drown. Water in the morning or at least four or five hours before dusk so that any excess moisture can be absorbed by the heat of the day.

  • Planting & Soil: As soon as the ground can be worked in the Spring, turn the soil to the depth of the spade. To the loosened soil add 1/3 to 1/2 as much again of composted humus like leaf mold, peat moss, or composted manure, together with coarse sand. Make sure to work the soil at least a month before planting.

  • Tidy, Tidy: Keep Roses healthy, it is important to gather up withered petals and leaves and pick off any live leaves with black spots. Prevent black spot - mix 1 tbs of baking soda with 1 tbs of liquid dish soap and 1 gallon of water together and spray your Rose leaves.

  • Prune: Always prune 1/4" above an outward facing bud. Always use a sharp knife or hand pruners. Never prune in fall. Always cut off the suckers, they grow just below the bud union; follow them down to where they begin and carefully remove them to encourage strong new growth.

    Roses are classified into types according to ancestry, bush type, and flower form and size - ask at your local nursery for the type you prefer.
