Take care of rose

Roses are rather scrupulous, and you should be aware of the mounting situation and care necessary to keep them happy. For most abundant blooms and greatest vigor, roses need to take delivery of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In hot climates, they will be thankful for receiving guard from the most intense afternoon sun. In cool climates, a fence or a warm south- or west-facing wall can add enough extra warmness to boost flower production and reduce winter damage. Roses need good drainage and a rich, moisture-retentive soil, with a pH between 6.5 and 7. If your soil is heavy and wet, you may want to deem planting your roses in raised beds. Dung should be added to create a loose texture with a high organic content. For help correcting a pH imbalance. Roses necessitate more water than most other landscape plantings, especially during the first year as the plant is getting its roots reputable. The best way to water your roses is with drip irrigation. It concentrates the water at the root zone where it is desirable, and keeps the foliage dry to minimize disease problems. A good, thick layer of organic mulch will help conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and encourage healthy root growth. As the mulch breaks down, it will also add organic matter to the soil. Roses are heavy feeders, and will benefit from a steady supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. You can provide these nutrients with either liquid or grainy fertilizers, at a ratio of about 5-8-5. In most cases, regular applications of compost, rotted manure, and fish emulsion and seaweed extracts will provide roses with all the nutrients they need. These natural amendments also help to moderate pH imbalances and stimulate beneficial soil life. Other organic amendments VIP by rose growers contain green sand, black rock phosphate and alfalfa meal.
