The very best way to care for your roses is to give them sufficient water. Roses thrive if they get enough water. But they don't like to be water-logged and prefer a well-drained soil.
When planting your roses you should be aware that using manure can burn the new roots of your rose bushes. Never use fresh manure on roses. It's much safer to use well-rotted compost for your roses to which some manure has been added. You can even use this to mulch your rose bushes after planting them.
Low bedding roses and many low-growing floribundas look great in containers. But it is important to water them regularly as roses in containers tend to dry out more quickly than roses that have been planted in beds.
Roses are not completely happy with a mild climate. They prefer a distinct change of seasons from a cold winter to a hot summer.
Although roses need at least six hours of sunlight a day there are some varieties that can handle more shade. See the book below.
Roses should be sprayed regularly against insects such as aphids and thrips as well as certain rose diseases such as black spot, rust and mildew.
