If you plan to add at least 1 new rose to your landscape this year, you are in excellent company.With proper care your new shrub rose, climber, or rose tree can be expected to survive and thrive for 20 years or more. Roses care begins before you thrust a spade into the soil. First, you've got to choose the right spot. Roses need plenty of sun and good air circulation in order to grow and bloom well.

The spring care of roses begins with pruning. Remove whatever winter protection may have been applied and examine the dormant plant carefully. Start at the base. If the rose is grafted and the graft union is above ground, check it for damage. This is the most important part of a grafted rose bush. If the graft is damaged, the rose may not live. Or, if it does survive, you may end up with a different variety (the rootstock) than the one you planted. Begin your spring pruning by removing any broken or damaged canes. This applies to all types of roses. Beyond this, you'll find more specific pruning instructions on the following page:
Pruning Roses
After your plants have been pruned they will need to be fed.
Fertilizing roses
is an important part of rose garden care. Underfed roses tend to fall victim to
rose diseases
and pests so you won't want to neglect this aspect of rose health care. Once blooming roses can get by on just 1 or 2 meals per year. Remontant roses will require 3 or more feedings depending on the length of the growing season in your zone.
Summer Rose Care Tips
Diligence is the key to the summer care of roses. Stick with your feeding schedule.
Watering your roses
takes on greater importance during summer's heat. Never let them dry out. Roses need moisture at their roots in order to take up food.Well established, mature old garden shrub roses can survive drought conditions but it isn't good for them. These heirloom roses do not need the codling that miniature roses require, just water them deeply every 2 weeks if there is no rain. Another thing you will want to do when caring for your roses during the growing season is to deadhead them after each flush of bloom. This is not necessary to their health, but it will keep them neater and cause them to bloom more often. Finally, keep a sharp eye out for rose care problems. Early summer is when you will likely notice the first signs of a disease or insect problem. Begin spraying as soon as you notice spotted or chewed leaves to keep the problem from getting a foothold.
Fall Rose Care
Fall rose care is easy. Rose garden care is such pleasant work during the cool days of fall. Rake up any fallen leaves or flowers to deprive insects and diseases of a snug place to overwinter. Feed your roses for the last time this season in early fall. Apply any winter protection you feel they need after the first freeze. Rose plant care tip: Planting roses that are fully hardy in your zone without winter protection is far better than planting marginally hardy roses and then covering them each winter.
