It is necessary to plant roses in season, otherwise they will simply die, because they will not have time to start up the root system. In fact, there is nothing difficult in growing roses, you just need to properly prune, remove diseased leaves and flowers, feed the bushes and spray from pests. You can buy roses already in pots in the soil or as dormant plants with bare roots. Root roses that are dormant require more maintenance in the first months after planting. In addition, root plants are an economical and convenient way to mail order a desired species if it cannot be found at your local nursery. Unlike container plants, root plants need to be soaked in water overnight before being planted in the ground. After that, the soil is thoroughly and regularly watered.

It is best to plant roses in the spring after the last frost or in the fall, at least 6 weeks before the first frost. This gives the roots enough time to settle in the soil before hibernating. For best results, plant them on a cloudy day. Planting on a hot, sunny day or summer heat can weaken the bush. The size of the depression in the soil into which the rose is planted is one of the key factors that will affect the result. If you are planting root or container roses, you need to dig a hole deep enough and wide enough to accommodate the roots and ensure good drainage.

Mix large amounts of garden compost, peat moss or other organic matter with soil that has been removed from the planting pit. Use a portion of this mixture at the bottom of the well. The head should be at ground level in mild climates and 2-3 centimeters lower for colder climates. Fill the pit with a partial soil mixture and add a slow release fertilizer. Pruning - removing all dead and damaged parts of the bush. In practice, they look brown. Cut the stems to half of the previous year's growth until a healthy white center is visible within the shoot.

The best time to prune is in early spring, March or April. Roses can be trimmed lightly throughout the season to keep them well-groomed. The best way to prevent rose disease is to choose disease resistant varieties. These plants are bred and selected to withstand the most common ailments, including powdery mildew. Powdery mildew usually appears in the summer, especially when the days are hot and dry and the nights are cool and humid. Its indicator is leaves that curl, a bloom of white appears on them. To avoid this, pruning is again necessary, which allows air to circulate within the bush.
