Garden roses

One of the most popular flowers in the world is the rose. This shrub is a perennial, with over 100 species, primarily native to North America. Roses are prized for their many colors, and some have a beautiful scent. The sizes of rose blooms range from small and compact to large and lush. Nearly all rose varieties have thorns. How and When to Plant Roses Roses should be planted after the last frost in the spring or in fall (at least six weeks before your average first frost). By planting early enough in fall, the roots have enough time to get established before going dormant for the winter. Dig a hole big and wide enough to fit the entire root system—roses don't like to be crowded. Also, plant rose bushes at least 3 feet apart to allow for growth Bare-Root Roses Shrub roses come in a few forms. Bare-root roses are available in early spring and are sold as a set of roots packed in peat moss or similar material that holds moisture well. It's best to purchase bare-root roses when they're dormant or just beginning to grow, since they can require a long time to take off. It's easy to order these roses to be delivered inexpensively, so you can add multiple roses to your landscape at a low cost. As you prune roses, keep in mind that you want your plants to grow with an open center so air can flow freely through the plant; this will also keep your rose from looking like a crazy mess of branches. As you do this, cut out any dead branches and small, weak canes. Remember: Some class...

BHG / Julie Bang Best Time to Take Rose Cuttings You can successfully root rose cuttings any time of the year. But for more consistent results, check the weather forecast. Plan to take your cutting when daytime temperatures are above 55°F and below 90; the ideal is between 70 and 80. That will probably be in spring and fall. It's also best to take cuttings early in the morning. • A 50/50 mix of perlite and potting soil. The mix should be sterile and hold roughly an equal amount of air and moisture. • Rooting hormone. This powder improves your odds of success, but it's often not necessary. It should always be used on harder-to-root rose types like Damasks, Hybrid Teas, older wood, or winter cuttings. • A clear cover to hold humidity around the cuttings. You could use the top part of that milk jug, or a 2-liter soda bottle with the base removed. A clear dry cleaning bag propped up with stakes around the pot works well, too. BHG / Julie Bang Take Cuttings Choose stems immediately below flower buds that are just about to open. The second best option is stems beneath flowers that have begun to drop their petals. Aim for cuttings that are 4-8 inches long with three to five nodes (the regular intervals where buds, leaves, and stems emerge). The cut at the base should be about a quarter of an inch below a node and the cut at the top should be about a quarter inch above one. Bonus tip: Heel wood often roots more easily. It's located at the base of a stem right where it emerges fro...

Start with the roots You can purchase roses already potted in soil or as dormant bare-root plants. Each type has its benefits: • Container roses: Container roses are a great for novice gardeners because they’re easy to plant and establish quickly. They can also be purchased at local nurseries throughout the growing season. This allows you to plant them when climate conditions are ideal— preferably a cool and cloudy day. • Bare-root roses: One of the advantages of bare-root roses is the greater selection of varieties available. Plus, they are economical and can be ordered online. However, unlike container roses, bare-root plants need to have their roots soaked overnight in water before planting. Also, the roots should be kept moist for the first few months after planting.
