Creating The Rose Garden You Always Wanted

Research Triangle Park, N.C. – It’s never been easier to create a rose garden in your own backyard. All it takes is a little planning, a little time and a little maintenance.

Bayer Advanced garden expert Lance Walheim, author of Roses for Dummies, who has a beautiful rose garden at his California home, says plant your new roses at the beginning of the gardening season. Planting early is important since roses need to have their roots well-established for fuller blooms. Be prepared to water and watch them carefully through their first spring.

There are three elements that all roses need in order to thrive in a new environment. Make sure when choosing your location that:

  1. The roses receive at least six hours of sunlight a day.
  2. The soil drains well.
  3. It has good air circulation.

Once you have chosen the right location for your garden, do some research to find the best roses for your location. Not all roses grow well everywhere. In certain areas, some varieties are more susceptible to insects or disease.

“With the vast varieties of roses available, you can choose any theme to add a personal touch to your rose garden,” says Walheim. “You can use all roses of one color, or color-coordinate them with your favorite sports team, or only use roses that are named after celebrities. The possibilities are endless. Just use your imagination.”

Of course, the key is caring for your roses so they are around for a long time. Bayer Advanced™ All-In-One Rose & Flower Care Concentrate can help in three important ways. It protects your roses from destructive insects and diseases, and feeds them as well – all without messy spraying. Just mix with water and pour around the base of the plant. Your roses are protected for up to six weeks.
