Rose Growing Tips
Roses
- The Queen of all Flowers
Roses are
deservedly the most popular of flowers. There's always a huge
demand for roses for weddings and functions and florists can never
get enough of them.
While white
roses are mostly used for weddings and bridal bouquets, red roses
can also be spectacular in a bride’s bouquet.
A gift of roses
is always welcome. Valentine’s day is synonymous with red roses.
Mothers day, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements and the birth
of a baby are ideal occasions for sending a gift of roses.
Rose Growing
Of course,
florists’ roses are expensive. So the trick is to be able to grow
your own roses in your garden or even in containers so that you
have enough for your home as well as for family and friends.
Rose growing is
quite easy if your area and climate are suitable for their
cultivation.
Here are a few useful rose
growing tips:
-
Roses need a
marked change of seasons from winter to summer.
-
Roses need at
least six hours of sunlight a day.
-
If you don’t
like to use poisons in your garden there are some effective
organic sprays for roses such as a concoction of garlic and soap
water. Garlic planted among your rose bushes also acts as a
natural deterrent against insects.
-
When growing
roses in dry areas remember to mulch them with pine needles or
other suitable mulching material.
-
Allow your
rose bushes to grow into sturdy bushes before cutting long
stems. Resist the temptation to cut roses for the house with
long stems until the bushes are strong enough.
-
Dehead
roses regularly - that is remove the dead blooms so that all
nutrients and vigor go into the rose bushes rather than into the
making of seed heads.
But this is
nothing compared to what you will get in the following rose
book.
If you
want to grow one or two prize rose bushes or a lovely rose
garden with many different varieties, then you will want to get
hold of this fund of information:
