Give them the right amount of water and fertilizer.
Garden roses are a perfect way to brighten up your yard, but they can also be a bit of a challenge. If you plant one and it starts struggling, try these tips on how to keep your garden roses in tip-top shape.
- Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer. It’s important to fertilize your rose properly if you want it to grow thick and strong. Speak with an expert about the best rose fertilizer for you or just follow the instructions on the package of what you buy.
- Water deeply each time. Gardeners often over water their plants because they give shallow water at intervals instead of deep watering once or twice a week depending on the weather conditions and soil type (your soil should be damp like a wrung out sponge when watered).
- Water in the morning, rather than at night, whenever possible. Roses prefer morning watering so that the leaves dry more quickly after watering and thus suffer less sunburn damage from midday sun exposure. Placing mulch around your rose bushes will also help prevent moisture loss during the night hours when temperatures drop.
- How much water do roses need? The amount of water needed varies depending upon many factors: climate zones being planted or grown in; how much shade is provided; whether your soil is organic or clay; rose species; season; etc., so check with local nurseries or experts for specific recommendations that are appropriate for where you live, as well as which varieties of roses you’re growing/planting.
Rose gardening can be challenging, but it’s really worth it when all those gorgeous flowers start blooming!
Regularly deadhead the spent blooms.
Deadheading is a challenging but rewarding part of growing roses. It’s not something that everyone wants to do, but it’s a crucial step to take if you want your rose plants to thrive.
The process itself is pretty straightforward: after the bud opens, carefully remove any dead flowers (the ones with browning petals or open petals that have fallen off and have no other leaves on them) by cutting them away from the plant with pruning shears or a pair of sharp scissors. If you see any dead blooms attached, pick them up and drop them into an empty flower container or trash can. Roses are full-size shrubs when they bloom and produce quite a lot of their own blooms naturally without needing help from outside sources. Therefore, it’s absolutely critical to keep all of the spent blooms on your rose bushes as much as possible throughout the flowering period—especially if you want to encourage healthy branching growth (because more branches means more flowers). The only way for this process to work properly is for the rose bushes themselves to be pruned regularly.
To make sure your rose bushes don’t become overgrown, regular trimming will ensure your plants stay fairly tidy and healthy looking during their entire flowering period.*
Use deer repellents to protect your garden roses from deer.
Most people dream of having a beautifully manicured, fragrant garden full of flowers. However, few people are equipped with the knowledge on how to properly care for their garden roses. With the help of this blog, you will have all the tips and tricks you need to keep your garden roses looking vibrant and healthy all year long.
Label #1: Garden Roses
You might ask yourself, what is a garden rose? A perennial often grown in temperate climates, garden roses are members of the genus Rosa and have been cultivated since ancient times. Known as one of the most popular types of rose blossoms due to their bright colors, delicate petals and good scent, many choose to grow them in their own gardens or flowerbeds because they are easy to care for (especially when compared with other cultivars). Their popularity has led to an abundance of hybrid varieties that you can grow in your own backyard!
Label #2: Keep Deer Away from Your Garden Roses
One problem that many homeowners find themselves contending with is keeping deer away from their beloved plants. Although deer might seem harmless enough when they roam around in your backyard during the day time hours, even one bite from these critters can destroy an entire rose bush! Gardeners who want to avoid such damage should check out this blog post about how you can deter deer from eating your beautiful roses without harming them in any way.

Provide your garden roses with extra protection in winter.
It’s December, and you know what that means: winter is coming. If you’re like me, your garden is probably already looking a little sad—but it doesn’t have to be. With the right steps and some extra care for the roses, you can help them stay healthy and happy through the harsh months of winter. Of course, this is easier said than done—and if you don’t know what to do during winter, here are a few tips that should help:
- Spray with anti-desiccant
This will help prevent your plants from drying out during cold weather. The best product I have found for this purpose is called “Herban Home,” which comes in several different forms (liquid ounce bottle, spray bottle full of solution, etc.). The one that works best for my purposes is the liquid ounce bottle. When you buy any kind of anti-desiccant spray or solution at a gardening store or online retailer like Amazon or eBay, always make sure that it says “Non-toxic” on the label. This tells you that the product has no harmful chemicals and won’t hurt anyone who comes into contact with it by mistake.
- Provide extra mulch
You may want to consider adding some organic mulch as another layer of protection your rose bushes could use during this time of year. Mulch preserves moisture in soil surrounding rose bushes by keeping their roots insulated from cold ground temperatures outside (which would freeze). You may also want to consider covering rose bushes completely with organic mulch in order to prevent weeds from spreading quickly through your garden area (and putting unwanted stress on your plants). My favorite organic mulch for this purpose is shredded cotton fabric wrapped around composted manure (called burlap), which acts as a protective barrier against strong winds while also providing an attractive look to an otherwise sparse garden area. There are many other types of organic mulch available as well; experiment until you find one that looks good in your garden area and doesn

The weather is warming up and you know what that means—it’s time to get back out into your garden! Now, if you’re like us, you love a good garden rose. They’re gorgeous and smell amazing, and they make any bit of greenery look more like a tropical paradise.
But getting roses to grow the way you want them to isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve put together our 5 favorite tips for growing beautiful roses in your garden.
Tip #1) Get your garden ready
Be sure your soil is healthy by tilling it before planting anything. Then, plant your seeds or seedlings (either will work fine) in an area that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. You can also buy some rose bushes from a gardening store!
Tip #2) Make sure your roses get enough water
Roses need 2 inches of water per week to stay hydrated and healthy. You should also add mulch around the base of the plants to help keep moisture in the soil and prevent weeds from growing!
Tip #3) Prune your roses regularly
Prune off dead flowers and leaves, but don’t cut too much off the top of the plant or roots (this will cause damage). Use sharp
#1. Water Them Every Other Day
Watering your roses once a week isn’t enough for them to thrive. Try watering every other day, at least, especially in the summer when the sun is at its strongest and your plants will be thirstiest!
#2. Make Sure They Get Enough Sunlight
Roses like full sun, so make sure they get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. If they’re not getting enough sunlight, their blooms will be smaller than they could be!
#3. Use a Rose Food Fertilizer
Be sure to use a fertilizer made specifically for roses—it’ll help them grow more abundantly and also make their blooms more vivid. We recommend Miracle-Gro’s Shake ‘n Feed Rose and Bloom Plant Food (http://www.miraclegro.com/en-us/products/rose-and-blooming-plants).
#4. Deadhead Your Roses Regularly
This means cutting off any dead flowers from the plant so that new buds have room to develop and flourish! Deadheading also keeps your garden looking nice and tidy since it cuts down on the number of withered flowers around the base of the rose bush. Remember to do this
1. Fertilize your roses often.
2. Keep certain weeds and insects away from your plants.
3. Never plant roses too close together, or they will not get enough air circulation which can lead to powdery mildew or black spot fungus issues.
4. Do not water your roses by hand in the evening, as it can cause fungus to grow on the leaves overnight which leads them turning yellow and falling off before their time; instead, try using a drip irrigation system with soaker hoses that will keep them consistently moist throughout day long periods of hot weather when there isn’t much rainfall available otherwise.
5. Prune your rose bushes every spring and fall to keep them looking good, but be careful not to overdo it; if you remove too much foliage then it won’t produce new growth for next season’s blooms!
1. Choose a sunny location for your roses.
2. Roses need at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
3. Soil should be well-drained, as roses do not grow well in soggy soil.
4. Water your roses deeply once a week (or more often if you live in a hot or dry climate).
5. Fertilize roses with a balanced fertilizer every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season (from spring until fall).
