My husband would like for me to plant some rose bushes. I have never had a rose bush and to be quite honest I'm a little scared to try to grow any. My mom has never had any luck growing roses so I'm scared I'll have her brown thumb in regards to roses.
The area they will be planted: one section faces west and the other faces south. I love in zone 6a. I would prefer ones that have huge flowers. Not the baby roses and very aromatic.
What are your favorite roses?
What is your soil like.
Dig a hole at least a foot in diameter and six inches deeper than planting depth, if you have room make the hole closer t two feet wide.
I would use some good bagged garden soil, or dig a hole some where else and use fresh soil at least three inches below the surface, amend it well then use it to replace the dirt you removed.
Check hole to see how well the water drains.
Unless it just sits there and does not drain, after you plant water it well.
I use a Vitamin B compound when planting, including soaking the unbagged roses in water containing said solution before planting.
I also submerge roses in a solution of Seranade or some similar biological black spot killer, and pour the water in the hole .
I never buy from Amazon but here are some brands of various types of root boosters out there:
