| How to Care |
|---|
| Water deeply, ensuring the roots get enough moisture without the soil becoming soggy. Mulch around the base of the roses to retain moisture and protect the roots. Regular pruning is important for removing dead or diseased wood and to shape the plant for better airflow. Fertilize roses during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer, and inspect for pests regularly. |
| How to Grow |
|---|
| Plant roses in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Make sure they get at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. To plant, dig a hole that is wide and deep enough to accommodate the root system. Add compost or organic matter to the soil to enhance its fertility. Water the roses immediately after planting and continue to water them regularly, but avoid over-watering. Prune dead or unhealthy stems for optimal growth. |
| Which Product to Use |
|---|
| Use rose-specific fertilizers such as Miracle-Gro or Jobe’s Organics Rose Fertilizer to nourish your plants. Organic insect repellents like neem oil or Safer Brand Insecticidal Soap can help protect your roses from pests. Mulch and compost can improve soil quality, while Black Kow Composted Manure can add valuable organic matter. Always choose products designed specifically for roses to ensure they receive the best care. |
