Fertilizer                                            During active growth and blooming stage, rose plants need more fertilizing. The plant need frequently feeding and generously.
                                                   Cow manure is best preffered as fertilizer for the rose plants, but other organic fertilizers like compost are also used. Rose plants requires 2-3 times                                                 feeding during the season.

Soil                                                     Rose is grown in well-drained soil with a sunlight. Clay or loamy soil is ideal.

Planting And Care:-

• Roses, especially the repeat flowering varieties, need a generous supply of nutrients regularly through the growing season.
• Slow release or organic fertilizers applied to the ground are the most effective; however foliar feeds are also valuable for a quick effect and to help keep the leaves healthy.
• Mulching with organic matter (a very wide range is available) is a very important part of rose growing, helping to conserve water, keeping the ground cool and feeding the micro organisms and worms in the soil.
• It should preferably be well rotted and, if it starts to disappear during the season, be reapplied.
• The best way to keep your plants free from pests and diseases is to choose disease resistant varieties and to grow them as well as possible.
• Regular watering is essential, the rose will be stronger, healthier and, most importantly, produce more flowers.
• Early spring is the best time to prune. If it is still winter, your overeager cuts may lead to frost damage.
• Pruning is pretty straightforward: Remove all non-negotiable growth, thin the plants, and then shape them.
• Experts advise cutting 1/4 inch above a bud eye so the bud eye does not dry out.

Rose Care:-

When you bring rose plant and cannot plant it immediately, leave the plant in the box and lightly sprinkle the roots every day. Do not let the roots to dry out. Plant the rose plant as soon as possible. If cannot plant it immediately to the desired location, plant it in a container.Dig a planting hole according to the roots, the rose plant has.

If it is 2 yrs, then dig a planting hole at least 6 inches deeper, so the roots of the plant can be accommodated without crowding or bending. Mix some fertilizer (cow manure or organic compost) with the soil in the planting hole, plant the rose plant carefully, spread its root and fill with soil. Firm the soil tightly around the plant.
If the rose plant is not so old and has fewer roots then dig a lesser deeper planting hole.

Cut a stem from a rose plant. Mix fertilizer with some soil, add little water to this mixture and make a firmly tight lump at one end of the stem.
Dig a planting hole (index finger deep) place the stem with lump side down, fill with soil. Firm the soil tightly. Keep the soil moist continuously for 2-3 weeks.
