Planting Potted Roses: Practical Gardening Advice

April 10th, 2008 · No Comments

It is common for people that have been given roses in pots as gifts to fall so in love with their rose plant that they would like to replant them in their own garden. Adding a rose bush to a garden can be the best choice that you ever made.

Planting potted roses doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. With the right knowledge given to you in simple step by step format can make the task a great deal of fun. Here are all of the steps that you will need in order to plant your potted roses.
* You should plant contained roses in the spring, after you are absolutely sure that there is no chance for a return of any frost. If you reside in a warmer climate like Florida or California, it is best to plant in the early autumn, when the temperature has cooled off a bit.
* You will want to choose roses that do not have any flowers on them because you are simply trying to establish your roses. You are not trying to make your roses flower just yet. If you need to, trim the flowers off of them before you plant them.
* You definitely want to choose the right environment for your roses. You will want to plant them in an area of the garden that gets lot of light in the mornings, (at least 5 hours worth) as early morning light helps to dry the dew off of the flowers, and this will help prevent fungal diseases.
* If you want the transition of your roses from a pot to your garden to go smoothly, you will need to prepare your soil very well. You want your soil to be well drained for the health of your roses.
* Once you have prepared your soil, you will want to work several spadesful of compost into the planting hole after digging in a hole that is about two feet deep.
* Tap your rose from its original container and plant it. You will also want to position it so that the soil level of the rise plant matches the soil level of the surrounding soil.
* Lastly, you will want to dig a mote-like ring around the rose so that you can pool the water.

That’s all there is to planting potted roses. See that was not so hard was it? It can be a most rewarding thing, to plant your very own rose garden.

Adding a pergola to your garden can be a fantastic way to add height and interest. And, of course it creates a shady place to entertain.
