Roses are very forgiving and hardy plants, perfect for any new gardener and cherished by master gardeners alike. Roses have just a few simple needs:
- Full sun, at least 6 hrs/day for most
- Average garden soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5
- Annual rainfall, supplemented in summer with about 1 in/water per week
- Good drainage
- Fertilizer during the growing season
That’s it. If you have sun, space, and a watering hose ...you can do this!
