Points to Consider BEFORE You start Rose Bush Planting
When rose bush planting a number of questions normally arise such as should fertilizer be included now or later, how deep should the hole be, when’s the best time to plant, etc.
However, carefully selecting the right location is the primary step when rose bush planting that should never be overlooked.
As the saying in real estate goes “location… location… location”
This is particularly true when planting & when selecting a location to plant roses, there are many factors that are to be considered.
Will the sunlight be sufficient for your roses, in the area you’re considering? Every day, there should be a minimum of six hours of unfiltered direct sunlight for most rose species.
Direct sunlight of four and six hours is also needed for shade tolerant rose plants, in order for them to do well. Do you know if the soil is healthy in the area where you intend to do your rose bush planting?
They do not do well in soil that has a great deal of sand or clay because they are hearty eaters requiring soil rich with nutrition.
A simple test is to clump the soil in your hand to see if it holds onto the mould without crumbling easy. This is a test you can do rather quickly to see if there is too much clay within the soil.
To test for too much sand, this can be repeated in the same manner as for the clay.
The soil should not have too much chalk, limestone, or be too acidic. If you are able to contain the mould in your hand without it crumbling easy, this means that the soil is good.
And finally, are there other plants or trees, in the location you’ve selected for planting roses, that are too confining?
The roots of larger plants & trees generally extend deeper than the roots of your roses which means they will tend to absorb the majority of the water and nutrients.
Many roots will most likely cause problems for your rose bush if you decide to plant in the space after discovering there is little room although the majority of rose plants do well if you combine them with other roses or plants that are non-invasive.
The exceptions to this are climbing roses and some shrubs.
Consider the basics, such as what the depth of the hole will be, now that you have decided on the ideal area for rose bush planting. You want the size of the hole you dig to be slightly bigger than pot that the plant is already in or the plants root system.
People that live in areas that are colder must plant roses deeper. This is important because the depth of the hole will depend on the climate. To find out the right depth for you, talking with other rose growers in your area is always a good idea.
Another worthwhile tip when rose bush planting is to Loosen the soil located at the base of the hole, this will benefit rose bushes planted at any depth.
A good idea is to add a slow acting source of phosphorus at the base of the hole prior to sprinkling bone meal.
This will encourage healthy root growth.
Place the rose plant into the hole, then slightly spread the roots out. Be sure the soil settles surrounding the roots after refilling the hole.
Before covering the roots with the last few inches of soil, water them first. Finally, slightly pack the soil after placing the last of it back in the hole. The plant can also be watered during this step.
