4 Important Tips for Growing and Caring for Roses

Let us talk about how to grow roses in the yard or in the open places. I follow the age old techniques to grow roses in my garden therefore I would like to recommend my way of growing roses in a garden.

In the first step it is important to have a look at the soil and see whether it is suitable for roses to grow or not. One of my friends asked me to choose a soil which has a pH in between 6.5 and 6.8. Another important thing about soils is the drainage system. If the soil is well arranged with a drainage system then it is good for your roses to get support from, but if the drainage is not appropriate, then you should make some modification and prepare the soil to be supportive for your roses.
For all you youngsters out there I would like to firmly say that you should not over-water the roses. You need to have a proper way for watering them. It is standard procedure to water the green rose bushes twice every week. While watering, it should be kept in mind that the bushes need to be watered thoroughly. To take care of roses sometimes people inattentively water the rose bushes in the late-evening which might cause the roses a common disease known as “Powdery mildew”.
Spacing between the plants might also lead them to Powdery mildew. Though they are smaller than other trees, they still need to breathe. For this reason you should keep in mind that the proper spacing in between the plants is essential.
Roses love basking in the sun. The reason behind my statement is you will have to choose a location in such a place in the yard where there is availability of sun for at least 4 to 5 hours every day. To take care of your roses you may find more or less timing prescriptions in other websites but I think this is enough for the roses. One more thing you should keep in mind when starting with your gardening is that for your plants, it is better to get the morning sun rather than afternoon sun.

Along with these ancient four tips you should also be prepared with the modern pesticides against pests and diseases. Follow all the instructions and you will get a rosy result in future…
