Climbing roses 

 

  • First step is picking which type of climbing rose you desire, depending on where you are going to plant it
  • Sunlight, space to grow and soil type are 3 of the main variants to take into account
  • Remove stones or weeds, as this will prevent the climbing of the rose
  • If you’re training against a wall or fence, allow 50cm between it and the base of the plant
  • Soak your rose before planting it into the soil. Either give the plant a fair watering if it is potted or leave to soak in a bucket of water for a couple hours if it is bareroot.
  • Once you begin digging, you want a hole approximately  twice the width of the plant and also give an additional 5 inches of depth. Break up any clotted soil to allow the roots to disperse!
  • Sprinkle any surface the roots will come into contact with lightly with Rootgrow to encourage healthy roots!
  • Make sure your rose is watered when needed and is held securely on your trellis or structure
  • Climbing roses need 1or 2 metres between eachother depending on the size
  • Prune and water when necessary, even add fertiliser if needed!

 

Bush rose

 

  • Choosing your rose, depending on the positioning is the first key fact!
  • Bush roses require 6/8 hours of daylight each day, to gain the best results
  • The whole you plant your rose in needs to be deep enough and wide enough to allow the plant’s roots to be comfy as such. The area needs to have good drainage,so they dont die!
  • Mix a generous amount of garden compost, peat moss, or other organic matter with the soil that was removed from the planting hole.
  • The roses crown should be ground level, if youre in a cooler climate you can lower this by a couple inches
  • Fill the whole with the mixture we stated above  and add a slow-release fertilizer.
  • Water thoroughly, and then finish filling the hole with the remaining soil
  • If you wanted a row of bush roses, make sure to leave a 3 feet gap space
  • Prune and water when necessary, even add fertiliser if needed!

 

Patio roses

 

  • Choose what size patio rose you desire, the smaller size patio rose bushes are ideal low maintenance plants, great for smaller gardens and perfect for container growing!
  • Patio roses are also fantastic for borders and beds, make sure wherever you plant it has a good amount of daily sunlight and also is sheltered from the wind!
  • A little while before planting your rose, water it thoroughly. Create a mix of soil, compost and organic rose food in a separate container.
  • Dig a whole 2 or 3 times the width of your container and make sure the containers allows a good amount of drainage too
  • Pat the soil around the rose but not too tightly to allow it to breathe! 
  • Feed, water and prune when necessary!
