Everyone loves the beauty and scent of roses! As Shakespeare wrote, “The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem For that sweet odour which doth in it live.” Roses have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but some of this may come from rose lovers' obsession with perfection and waiting for the ultimate blooms each season. However, rose care is easier than you might think—anyone can grow them successfully. You just need to plant your roses in a sunny location with good drainage, and fertilize them regularly for impressive flowers. Also, water them evenly to keep the soil moist. Prune established rose bushes in early spring. Watch for diseases like powdery mildew or black spot. If you’ve been afraid to start a rose garden, the truth is, roses are no more difficult to care for than other flowering shrubs. Today I’d like to share with you simple rules and tips to grow roses even if you have never done that before. Follow these essential rules to learn. Enjoy!
