TIPS FOR GROWING ROSES

A rose should be planted in a well-aerated, sunny location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.

Roses can be fertilized on a monthly basis until early August and watered once per week, preferably in the morning.

Watering roses at soil level, under the foliage, reduces leaf wetness and limits disease development.

Removal of spent flowers and fruit will promote the development of new rose buds.
