Rose garden Ideas:
If you are one of those people who have avoided growing roses because you
heard that their finicky, pest-ridden plants, we have some
news for you:
Roses basically have 5 needs:
Provide them with plenty of sunlight - Roses love the sun
(with some exceptions). Choose a spot for them that receives at least six hours of sunlight
per day.
Water galore - Roses are as thirsty as a rugby
player after a big game. Giving your rose garden a good daily drenching
is essential to supplement rain.
Control Pests - Roses are
known for attracting bugs like Japanese beetles and aphids. You will
find many natural treatments if you object to a weekly spraying with a pesticide.

Feed them - Feed your roses at least once a month with
a balanced fertilizer.
Pick your roses - Roses want to be pruned and groomed.
The more you pick your roses, the more you’ll get (believe it or
not).
If you have a spot in your yard that gets at least six hours of sun a day, is
irrigated and easily accessible by paths and walkways? You have just
qualified for a rose garden. Consider the following rose garden
ideas.
A Rose Fence Garden
Climbing and rambling roses are
ambitious climbers. You can completely cover a chain link fence with
a plant every 2-3 feet. Start with bare-stemmed root stock, and
train new growth along the chain links and support frames.
A Corner Rose Garden
A bare, sunny corner is the perfect spot for a climbing rose garden. Start with a few large boulders or rocks, plant 3-5 ground-cover or rambling roses, and stay out of the way. Within a few years, you’ll
be spending more time containing
them than trying to make them grow.

around the ground at its base - amazing!
A Patio Rose Garden
Miniature hybrids and tea roses are quite happy growing in terracotta pots and other containers. If you
