Helpful Advice For Planting A Rose Garden

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Preparing soil in rose gardens is the first step in producing healthy roses all summer. It’s not difficult, but each element is important. A rich loam base is the best foundation, and on top of this you should add both a thick layer of organic material and about three pounds of super-phosphate for each 100 square feet. If you then till all of that into the soil, to the depth of about a foot, your flower gardening will have the best chance of success, as your roses will be starting out with plenty of nutrients.

Set the rose bushes with ample space between them for growing wide and abundant, with plenty of blooms, as compared with limiting them so that they get spindly and tall. Hybrid teas, grandifloras, and floribundas should be around 18 to 30 inches apart, whereas miniatures can be spaced one foot apart. You could place any of those somewhat nearer to each other if you’re hoping to create a rose hedge, but if you would like each plant to flourish on its own, then extra space is crucial. The air flow can also help to avoid the formation of mold in your plants.
