Easy Rose Bush Care
Roses are really one of the simplest flowers to grow and will make your yard the envy of the neighborhood. There is also an incredible diversity in the types of roses that can be planted and enjoyed. Mainly there are three important steps to basic rose bush care. First, is rose bush choice, second, is how much water and fertilizer, and finally, apprpriate pruning. If you don’t have a good book on rose bush care may I recommend The Ultimate Book of Roses. It has beautiful pictures on the different rose varieties and how to care for them.
Rose selection should be your first concern. You want to choose a rose bush that will do well in your climate zone and in your yard in particular. Disease and fungus can plague some roses so it is best to steer clear of those varieties. But there are several types that are generally quite hardy and need very little rose bush care. If you are just staking out a rose garden make sure they are well spaced for maximum growth potential. Also, find a location that receives adequate sun.
The appropriate amount of watering and feeding is a necessary ingredient for good rose bush care. We encourage watering early in the day, just at the roots. If it is a newly planted rose bush it should be well soaked everyday for at least the first couple of weeks. After two weeks watering once a week is fine unless you live in a very hot climate. Mulch, bark or straw can be placed around the roses bushes to keep the soil moist and discourage weed growth.
Feeding or fertilizing should be done about once a month particularly in the Spring, Summer and Fall. Find a good rose food at your local nursery with which to feed your roses. It is not recommended to feed or fertilize during the cold winter months.
When it comes to rose bush care pruning is probably one of the most misunderstood techniques. Only prune when their is a dead or dying branch or flower. Trim the dead flowers or flowers you want to put in a vase leavng two to three inches that include three nodes. Prune back your plants in January or February to promote maximum spring growth.
You probably have a lot of questions that can be easily answered in the Ultimate Book of Roses manual.
