Simple Rose Bush Care
Roses are surprisingly easy plants to grow and ones that will supply your home with beautiful vases full of colorfull blooms. There are so many varieties to choose from. There are three main things to keep in mind when it comes to rose care. First, is rose bush choice, second, is how much water and fertilizer, and finally, apprpriate pruning. Purchasing a good book like the Ultimate Book of Roses is nice to have at your fingertips for quick referencing. It will list names of various roses and which ones are the hardiest with great photos.
It is vital that you choose the right rose variety. For successfull rose bush gardening choose one that will thrive in your location. Several of the rose varieties can be prone to disease and fungus and can continually give the owner problems. But there are several types that are generally quite hardy and need very little rose bush care. Plant the rose bushes about 3 to 4 feet apart to allow enough room for them to flourish. Also, find a location that receives adequate sun.
The appropriate amount of watering and feeding is a necessary ingredient for good rose bush care. It is recommended that one saturate the root in the morning being careful not to shower the plant or blooms. A recently planted rose needs to be watered daily for two weeks. After that a good soaking once a week should be sufficient unless the weather is extremely hot and dry. Mulch, bark or straw can be placed around the roses bushes to keep the soil moist and discourage weed growth.
Feed and fertilize once a month from Spring through the first frost in the Fall. Feed the roses with rose food fertilizer that should contain a mix of fish emulsion and manure. It is adamant to stop fertilizing your roses during the winter months.
For the best rose bush care proper pruning is vital. Just prune off the dead flowers or limbs. Cut the dead flowers down to the third or fourth branch or node (the small reddish lines). During the first two months of the year, cut back your roses to about two feet.
You probably have a lot of questions that can be easily answered in the Ultimate Book of Roses.
