Rose gardening is one of the most rewarding flower gardens to grow. Rose bushes produce more blooms, quicker, and for longer, than most other flowering perennials or shrubs. The blooms that rose bushes produce have created a steady, passionate following of gardeners whose style has created its own mystique. This reputation has left many average gardeners overwhelmed with the thought of how to learn rose gardening successfully.

Successful rose gardening is easier than the rumors would have you believe. With a few simple tips, roses can be grown in many parts of the world successfully and are hardy enough to survive year after year with a minimal amount of care. To learn rose gardening in a few simple steps:

• There are many various strains and hybrids of roses but until you become more experienced, pick rose bushes that are hardy and disease-resistant. Many of the newer roses are created with this in mind and it should be easy to find appropriate colors and forms that also have this characteristic.
• Your rose bushes will need lots of sun. At least six hours of direct sun a day is optimal. Rose gardening can be done in areas that receive les direct sunlight but the number and duration of blooms will be reduced.
• Plant your roses in an area that has appropriate soil. Rose bushes require a lot of nutrients and a soil that is enriched with compost or humus will work best. The soil should also be well-drained but hold some moisture so that the roots don't completely dry out.
• Successful rose gardening also requires ongoing maintenance and care. Rose bushes will need ample amounts of water and compost or fertilizer as well as pruning to thrive.

Roses grow best when they are planted in cool and moist conditions that typically occur in spring or fall. They should be planted immediately when the soil becomes workable in either of those seasons and watered on a regular basis for about the first two months or until they take hold and are established.

There are three main types of rose bushes available for planting;

• Roses that are bare-root are dormant and sold during the winter and early spring. They should be planted as soon as the ground warms up and the soil become workable.
• Container-grown roses, as the name implies, are typically grown in containers at a nursery. Usually they are available for rose gardening in the spring and are already blooming or budding when purchased.
• Prepackaged roses are another type of bare-root rose bush that is packaged in a container that has moisture retention material inside to help the roots stay moist.

Whatever type of rose bushes you are planting, your rose garden will have the best chance of thriving by following a these steps. Remember, rose gardening is easy to learn and when in doubt, research will answer most questions.

• You'll need to dig a hole large enough that allows for the size of the rose bush but will also allow for the roots to spread.
• When you refill the planting hole, make sure to mix some compost, humus, or peat moss into the soil.
• Water your newly planted rose bushes until they become well-established.
• Soak bare-root roses in water before planting. The bud should be 1 inch below the soil after planted.
• Make sure to cut of dead and decaying plant leaves. Long or damaged roots should also be pruned before planting.
• Container-grown roses should be left in its package if it will be planted within 10 days of purchase. Keep it moist and plant as soon as you can.
