Ask your local garden center or nursery about the best types of roses to grow in your particular area. Different climates require different types of roses if you want to achieve outstanding results. If you are a beginner, be sure to choose disease-resistant rose bushes, as they will require less maintenance and care.

You should choose a place to plant rose bushes that are well lit in the morning and that will receive at least 6 hours of continuous sunlight each day. You should have well-drained soil with a PH level from 5.5 to 7.0. You will be able to find a test kit at your local lawn center. Test kits are very inexpensive and can save you a lot of trouble after planting rose bushes.

When planting roses, include lots of organic matter in the soil around the plants. Make sure the roots of the rose bush are very moist and well-fertilized before you plant it. If you are growing roses that have very little soil surrounding the roots, soak the roots in water or mud for several minutes and cut off any damaged or broken roots before planting.

In the first few weeks after planting rose bushes, you should water well and frequently. When the top two inches of soil around the plant is dry, water the ground until it is completely soaked. After your roses have solidified, soak your bed approximately every two weeks for the best results. If you live in an area that is extremely dry or extremely hot, you may consider watering more often. Take care not to overwater the roses and it is best to water them early in the morning.

For best results, plant rose bushes in early spring after any risk of frost has passed. Also, the rose should be planted in an open area that allows great air circulation. Roses do not grow well in a confined or closed space.
