Planting Your Rose Garden Successfully

By Hedrick Lepsch


When you know that you are going to want to start a rose garden, you have to be sure that you go about the process wisely. There are a lot of people that struggle understanding how they are going to be successful when they have never planted a rose garden before or cultivated one.

First, you should be sure that you are choosing the right area of your yard for your rose garden. When you are choosing an area of your home, you will want to start by finding a sunny area in your home that is getting at least four hours of sun on a daily basis.

First, you should understand the season that you are going to start your planting in. There are many people that do not realize that they should only be planting specific plants throughout specific seasons of the year. There are a lot of people that do not realize that the area in which they live will only enable them to be successful with specific crops. Taking time to understand which crops are successful in your area will change your success levels with your garden.

As you are talking about the flowers, you will want to ask what type of training each of the employees has had. Of course, there will be some employees that are trained in-house, but you should look for the company that is run by someone that has proper training.

It is important that the different types of roses will be able to survive when there are other plants around them, but the majority of roses need their own space. If you are getting rid of old rose bushes to plant new ones, you have to be sure that there is going to be fresh soil for them.

Third, you will want to make sure that you understand what animals or bugs are going to be a threat to the plants that you want to grow. Finding a way to protect your plants from unwanted critters will save you a lot of time and energy.

Late winter is a great time to ensure that you are going to have the bare root roses planted and grow successfully. If you are going to plant container roses you are going to want to plant them in the early spring rather than planting them in the late winter months.

After you decide when the best time is to plant the roses, you will then want to make sure that you have a hole that is big enough and deep enough. The hold should be about 15 inches deep and you want to make sure it is at least 18 inches wide, so the roses will fit.

Your area may have a gardening club or even a gardening forum that you can join. Getting involved in gardening and learning from those around you will ensure that you are as successful as you can possibly be.

You can utilize your floral shop when you need to send a thank you, something to indicate sympathy or even when you are celebrating. Flowers are a great gift, decoration and a great way to enjoy the beauty of nature.
