How to plant rose

3
Choose your planting site. Your planting site will determine the fate of your roses, no matter
how beautiful and tough the initial roses may be. You should find a place that gets at least 5-6
hours of direct sunlight each day, especially in the morning. You should also plant your roses
near any shelters, such as a wall or a fence, if they're going to be in a particularly windy area.
Here are some other things to keep in mind as you choose the perfect site for your roses: [2][3]
 Hot climates should have some shade to protect the roses from the hottest sun. Try planting
your roses in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade. Cold climates should have a warm
wall or a fence to keep the roses from getting too cold.
 Your soil should have good drainage. Before you plant your roses, dig a hole and pour water
into it to make sure that it drains after just a few hours. If your soil is too moist, the roots of your
roses may rot. If this is the case, then you should consider planting your roses in raised beds.
 Make sure your soil isn't too thick or sandy. Adding organic materials such as dehydrated cow
manure, shredded bark, or compost can help the soil reach the right consistency.
 Avoid planting your roses near trees or shrubs. They will compete for nutrients, water, and light,
and they will not win out.
 The soil should not only retain moisture easily, but it should have a pH between 6.5 and 7.

Gather the materials for planting roses. Having your roses and location is a great start, but if
you want to plant the roses, then you have to get all of your materials in order. Here's what you
will need:
 Fertilizer
 Mulch
 Pruning shears
 Gardening gloves
 Compost or rose planting mix
 A spade
 A shovel
 A filled watering pot

Caring your plant rose
1
Water your plants frequently for the first 3 to 4 weeks after planting your
roses. Usually this is when the top 2 inches (5.1 cm) of soil is dry. To stay healthy your
roses need a lot of hydration and food.[8]

Continue to soak the bed. Four weeks after planting, you should start soaking the bed
every 2 weeks or so. Do this in the morning for the best results.

3
Add mulch. Use 3–6 inches (7.6–15.2 cm) of mulch to control the moisture,
temperature, and to stops weeds from popping up. Mulch also helps to lock in the vital
nutrients your roses need in order to remain healthy. Read How to Grow Roses for
more information on how to care for your roses after they've been planted.

Prune your roses. Pruning your roses will keep them from getting crowded and will
make them grow healthy and strong. All you need is some pruning shears and a good
eye for what you need to eliminate. You can cut off any rootstocks (suckers), which are
new plants that grow from the roots of the old plant, as well as any remaining canes that
are thinner than a pencil, which rub or cross each other, or which are just not fitting the
desired shape you want for your roses.

Protect your roses against the cold. In the winter months, or just when it gets
unseasonably cold, you may have to take action to keep your beautiful roses alive in the
winter. You should cut back your rose plants to about 24 inches (61.0 cm) so they don't
get harmed by ice and wind. Then, you should tie the canes together with twine to
further protect the roses from winds.
 Each rose plant should have a nice mound of fresh, loose compost or soil around its
base.
 You can add another layer of hay or straw over the mound for further protection.
 When spring comes around, you can remove the added protection.
