Select roses suited to your climate and garden conditions, such as disease-resistant varieties that will thrive with less maintenance.
Roses need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and blooming.
Ensure the soil is rich, loamy, and well-draining. Amend heavy clay or sandy soils with compost to improve soil structure.
Plant roses with enough space between them to allow for good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases.
Water roses deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease.
Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of roses to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Prune roses annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased wood, shape the plant, and encourage vigorous growth.
Feed roses with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or organic amendments like compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients.
