Rose bushes are one of the most beautiful home grown flowers ever! If you start container rose gardening, you will have the opportunity of having a beautiful rose landscape right in your own home. There are many types of roses that you can use when doing container rose gardening and in this article I will provide three important tips for starting a successful container rose garden.
1) Container Rose Gardening- Start up: To start of with, you will require a container that is large enough and strong enough to plant your roses in. you can either buy a container for your roses or you can improvise and use anything suitable. I prefer to save money and use a large container, such as old buckets, and anything that I find lying around.
2) Gardening fertilizer: Roses, by nature require much more nutrients than many other plants so you will have to choose fertilizer wisely. Although you can purchase commercial rose soil, it's much better to make your own organic compost (in my opinion). Since container rose gardening does not require too much soil, its not that expensive to use special rose soil. Which ever you decide to use will not really affect the quality of the roses,
3) Best container gardening roses: There are three main types of roses that you can get. These are bare root, container grown, and pre-packaged roses. If you are going to get your roses from a local nursery, then its okay to buy bare roots, but if you have to travel a great distance for the rose then pre-packaged ones are the best. They are sold in little containers which are filled with sawdust to keep the moisture in. if you want fast results however, then you can buy container grown roses which will be in the "budding" stage.
4) Planting your roses: Now for the messy part of container raised gardening, the planting! Its best that you water the soil thoroughly before you plant the roses. After you have covered the roots with soil, add a layer of mulch to help keep the moisture in.
