Roses are strong candidates for a position in a flower nursery because their vivid colors and traditional charm prevails in modern times as ardently as in antiquity and hence it boasts the title of Queen of Flowers. A basic understanding of the requirements for growing roses is needed in order to come up with healthy and colorful blooms of this fascinating flower.
Container and Bare Root Roses
Those interested in a flower nursery perhaps already know the difference between potted roses, sold as one-gallon container (grown outdoor), and bare root roses from which all soil has been removed during its dormancy. To protect the roots, plastic and sawdust are commonly used. The best time to start the plantation of roses is January, a time when roses are sold bare root. It costs much lower to buy bare root roses than potted ones and a bare root rose easily settles in the new soil without suffering much transplant shock.
Time of Plantation
In most cases, early spring is the right time to plant the barefoot rose plant. Planting in winter is also a good option if the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees. For success, plant the rose soon after you buy it while keeping the roots moist and prevent them from drying by heat.
Light
The flower nursery of roses should be located such that the plants can bathe in the sun for at least six hours a day, preferably in the morning to evaporate the dew from the foliage. Some shade in hot-climate afternoons is a comfort to the plant.
Air Circulation
Free circulation of air in and around the flower nursery is necessary in preventing fungal attack on the rose plant. Damp and stagnant places with little circulation of air can lead to fungal diseases like rust, black spot etc.
Spacing
As a general rule, each rose plant should stand two feet apart from its neighboring plants. With growth this might be changed, as some shrub roses need a space of six feet. Keep roses distant enough from other plants (bee balm, lilac etc.) that are easy targets of fungal attacks. The rose flower nursery should not lie on a previous rose-plantation site because the soil might be infested with disease-causing agents of previous plants.
Fixing the Plant
It is advisable to soak the plants root for several hours before planting in the soil. The planting holes should be deep and at least eighteen inches wide. Mix good soil compost with the native soil in the ratio of 1:2. Making a mound of the mixture in the hole, fix the rose plant in the center and keep the bud union at soil level or, in cold climates, about two inches below the soil.
Growing Aide
In May and June, feed the rose pants with a tablespoon of Epsom salt around their base to activate growth.
