Roses

Roses can be planted pretty much in most areas that receive lots of full sunshine, ideally 6-8 hours per day. But, if the weather at your place is extreme, the partial shade will do the plants some good. Plant them in well-draining soil and avoid soggy areas.

Space your rose bushes in a diameter of approximately 3ft to give room for airflow. It is crucial in preventing fungal infection. Water the bushes heavily since the plants take a lot. Additionally, prune them after some time to allow the plants to produce more blooms.

If you want big and healthy cut flowers from roses, plant them in the early spring. Anytime from late February to early April is a great time to plant them. Frost is often at its last phase, and it gives the plants enough time to become strong.

Roses come in different varieties, but there are those which are normally more preferable than others. Although they mostly have the same gardening conditions, these two main species are what florists, gardeners, and other flower enthusiasts opt for:

• David Austin roses;
• Climbing roses.
