Plant bare root roses
( Added: Tue Jul 19 2005   Hits: 86)

Plant bare-root roses in spring and early fall so that their roots can establish before the plant is exposed to hot summer sun. Bare-root roses should be kept cool and moist until they are planted. You can do this by digging a sloped trench in a shady spot and laying the roots of the roses at the bottom of the trench. Cover loosely with soil. Before actually planting, soak roots in a pail of water for a day (soak them in a vitamin B-1 solution for great results), up until the time you are ready to plant them.

Planting Roses

The first step in planting roses is picking the proper spot for them to thrive. Roses perform best when they receive full sunshine all day, or at least six hours of direct sunlight daily, from spring through fall. Morning sun is essential; partial afternoon shade is acceptable.

Pruning Roses
( Added: Tue Jul 19 2005   Hits: 70)

Pruning is critical to the continued blooming and thriving of your roses. However, different types require different pruning practices. A rose left unpruned can grow into a mass of tangled brambles that produce small or inferior blooms. Proper pruning removes unproductive or damaged wood and leaves a few good canes as the foundation for a healthy bush that will produce well-formed flowers.

Pruning Various Types of Roses

First remove any deadwood down to the nearest healthy, dormant bud eye. Make the cut at least 1 inch below the dead area. If no live buds remain, remove the entire branch or cane to the bud union. Examine the plant carefully for canker and other diseases.
