Spring Hill Nursery's - Getting Started with Roses At this time of the year, it may be hard to imagine the bright colors of summer in your garden. But now is the time to think about it late winter to early spring is the best time to prepare for new roses. Here's the basics on how to do it right. Select a spot in your garden that receives at least 6 hours of sun daily. To ensure good drainage, consider setting up raised beds. For proper drainage in a regular bed, dig a 2'x2' hole, then mix the soil removed with amendments to lighten and enrich it. A good ratio is equal parts garden soil and organic materials. Since roses love rich, slightly acidic soil (around pH 5.5-6.5), good amendments include compost, leaf mold, lime and bonemeal. A soil test will help you to determine what's best to add. Superphosphate or bonemeal can be sprinkled around the bottom of the hole. Create a cone of soil mix in your hole and place your rose on top at the proper planting depth. After planting, mulch to conserve soil moisture and suppress weeds. Water your rose bushes early in the morning and frequently about an inch of water each week. Most roses require pruning each year to keep them healthy and in good form. For more tips and techniques, visit The American Rose Society at www.ars.org. Their members include all levels of experience and are committed to promoting the Rose in all its diversity and the site offers excellent resources for the new or veteran rose grower.
