Roses Need Special Care

Roses are the ultimate addition to any garden, and a signature flower for many master gardeners. By following a few simple rules, anyone can achieve great success with roses.

Select a location with good drainage and plenty of sunlight.

Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter when planting and follow instructions carefully to ensure proper depth.

Place mulch around the base of the plant to protect roots.

Good nutrition is another key for healthy roses and you can’t find better fertilizer than Vigoro’s perfectly balanced Rose formulations. Apply at planting, then every 4-6 weeks until early fall.
