THE HUMBLE ECHO
LAWN
and
GARDEN
*r?
BY DON PORTIE
Asst. County Agent
Rose planting, spacing,
soil preparation, watering
and fertilizing are covered
in this week*s companion
article to last week’s.
Bare rooted roses in our
area should be planted when
the bushes are fully dor-
mant. However, container
grown roses can be plant-
ed anytime of. the year.
Bare rooted roses should
be set on a cone of dirt
built up in the hole the rose
is to be planted in. The
roots should be spread out
around the cone of dirt.
Then carefully work the
soil about the roots, so all
roots are in contact with the
soil. After adding enough
soil to cover the roots, add
water to settle the soil
around the roots. Finally,
fill the hole up level with
ground. Spacing of bush
roses should be three to
five feet apart, whereas
climbing roses should be
set 8 to 10 feet apart.
Soil preparation requires
the digging of individual
planting holes 12 inches
deep and at least 18 inches
in diameter. Mix the soil
dug out of the holes with
organic matter. This can be
a mixture of one part peat
moss or leaf mold to four
parts of soil or one part
of manure to six parts of
soil. Any one of the mix-
tures should be thoroughly
mixed. A spadeful of well
rotted manure mixed with
loose soil in the bottom of
the hole will also help to
give you gorgeous roses.
These planting holes should
be prepared well in ad-
vance of planting. A min-
imum of four weeks prior
to planting should be used
as a rule of thumb.
If for some reason roses
cannot be planted imme-
diately, they should be
checked to see that the
roots are moist and kept
that way until planted.
Roses held more than two
or three days should be
placed in a trench and the
roots covered with moist
soil.
Roses require large
amounts of water. If the
soil has good internal
drainage, you cannot over-
water a rose. One precau-
tion — do not allow the
water to splash up on the
stems and leaves.
