Things You'll Need
Rose Plants
Shovel
Rose Food
Lay out the garden before you start. Even a simple drawing can help take the daunting nature of where to plant, and how many plants to plant, out of the project. Start small and work your way up. Late spring and early summer is the best time to tackle this project.
Dig a starter hole as deep as the root ball of the rose plant and two to three inches up the main stem, then add another three inches. Roses like rose food, so be liberal at the bottom of your hole.
Mix some loose soil in with the rose food. Release the roots from the root ball, and place in the hole. Fill in with loose soil and pack down. Make sure the main stem is covered at least two inches from the root ball.
After packing the soil tightly, water generously. Roses like the water at first, but later they like a moderately damp soil. So watering is not a big consideration. Fertilization is more important, then daily watering.
Roses like heat. So the hotter the climate the better. But you can grow beautiful roses in almost any seasonal climate. Remember to cut off all the stems of the dead flowers during the fall season. Some people even bury the entire plant stem until spring, but this is not necessary if you fertilize the plants in early spring.
Make sure to plant the roses some distance from each other so there is room to grow. Packed in roses will not bloom, so leave some space for the plants to send out strong roots all around.
