Sure
roses are beautiful, but they need too much care, right? Many homeowners won't
grow roses because they're under the impression roses take a whole lot of care.
Are you one of them kind of thinkers?
Well, it is true roses do require some spraying to avoid certain diseases and an occasional squirt of fertilizer, but it's not brain surgery. With just a few minutes a week tinkering on a rose you can avoid a potentially tedious activity.
For instance, start right off the bat with planting roses in the correct place. Roses need at least six hours of direct sunlight.
When planted in full sun, the chance of powdery mildew setting on 'em is likely to occur. A well-fortified soil is an absolute necessity for healthy roses.
Improve sandy or clay soil by adding compost. Roses need adequate air circulation.
To prevent disease, give 'em plenty of space to grow. Roses like their roots moist, so build a basin to direct water right to the plant.
The second you see aphids, break out the insecticidal soap for a natural approach to control the pest.
