Home | Home-and-Family | Landscaping-Gardening

Have you always wanted to grow a perfect blue rose, along with green, black, and purple ones? As you may be aware, many of these exotic rose colors result from a variance in nutrients found in the soil. In fact if anything, it may well result in reducing it. Fresh gardening ideas for climbing roses, scented rose varieties, gardening with trouble free rose bushes in your garden, how to incorporate low-growing roses in your landscape and several beautiful pictures of gardens to inspire you to garden with beautiful roses.The species form a group of erect shrubs, and climbing or trailing plants, with stems that are often armed with sharp thorns. Natives, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and fragrance. Unfortunately, many areas do not have a climate that will enable grafted roses to grow and thrive. Rose gardening has its own special mystique. Gardeners all over the world are smitten by the allure of roses, but many people think of roses as elegant, but demanding prima donnas. Roses come many colors and forms and in range of growth habits, sizes and shapes. Fortunately today, many newer roses are being bred for hardiness and good disease-resistance. Like most other garden flowers, roses will thrive if you give them what they need. Roses are heavy feeders that thrive in rich soil. Be sure to stay on the lookout so you can nip any rose problems in the bud before they get out of hand.When to prune roses is one of the most important aspects in rose gardening and knowing how to prune roses. Choose the right place in your garden to plant your roses. They will need plenty of sunshine and wind protection if they are in an open windy location. Preparing a good planting site for your roses provides ideal growing conditions for companion plants too. Some rose lovers choose to grow miniature roses around the base of full-sized rose bushes, others enjoy pairing their roses with annuals, perennials and bulbs.

Under planting your roses with spring flowering bulbs, adds color and beauty to your flower beds when the roses don't look their best. Give your roses lots of room to grow to their natural growth habit and allow for good air circulation. Roses do prefer organically rich soil with good drainage and no major obstructions such as tree roots or large rocks. Roses also need beds of well-drained sandy clay-loam soil with a pH between 6.5 to 7.5 (slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.) Put a few shovels of well-composted horse or cow manure around your roses after planting, and every spring, and your roses will really thrive. Add a 2 inch layer of mulch and watch the roses bloom with abundance. And here is another good rose gardening advice that isvery useful: Sprinkle some Epsom Salt around the base of your roses and scratch it into the soil. Follow by deep watering directly to the base of the rose. Bare root roses must be planted while they are still dormant. They should be soaked in muddy tepid water for up to 12 hours, overnight is good, before planting. Climbing roses should be planted a foot from their supports to allow for good air circulation. Canes on climbing roses should be tied horizontally in order to produce more flowers, which will sprout vertically along the horizontally growing canes. Climbing roses should not be pruned for the 2 years. They need time to build flowering canes so they can produce lots of blooms. Mulching add a two to four inch layer of organic mulch wood chips, grass clippings, compost, straw, pine needles, or leaves around the base of each rose bush. Just remember: Easy does it when it comes to mulching. For more information on gardening go to www.Teegoes.org
