How to Plant a Rose


It's easy to forget that down deep, roses are simply prickly shrubs—brambles—cousins to the sprawling, ineradicable blackberry. A rose just wants to be a rose, and the plant's needs are not all that complicated:


1. Lots of sun.

2. Soil that is not boggy and that gets a few inches of nourishing organic material on top every year.

3. An early morning soaking a couple of times a week through the growing season. (Roses need the most water when they're coming into flowering.)

4. Protection from hot afternoon sun and forceful wind.


If you'd like to be ceremonious and take a little more trouble for your roses, in fall, you could prepare a place for a rose plant or two that you plan to buy in spring. Dig in well-rotted cow manure, bark chips, and leaf mold to mellow all winter.
