At least 6 hours of direct sunlight is required. Rose trees need rich, but well-drained soil and won’t tolerate wet feet. If you need to improve drainage, mound up by adding additional soil 18 inches high by 3 feet wide, then plant in that mound. Or, keep them in containers filled with a rich organic soil mix in a protected location and winter protection too. Give them a medium amount of water on a regular basis. Apply a good organic, slow-release fertilizer in late winter and again in mid-summer. Roses appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch over the roots all growing season to keep them cool and moist. Prune back heads hard in early spring just as they start to grow. Cut back to a healthy, thick bud that faces outward. Prune crossing branches and branches that head into the center of the canopy.

Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation. What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses? You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.
