Planting roses, regardless of the type, whether shrub or climbing or isolated, requires some essential precautions.

The first is to choose a sunny location, because roses, with the exception of some tree variants, need well-lit and airy places to grow and become the magnificent plants they are. Sun and air are already sufficient to guarantee a beautiful flowering.Secondly, the composition of the soil must not be neglected: it must not be heavy. Therefore clayey soils must be “corrected” with humiferous materials that guarantee a soil that is always moist but never saturated. The need for a wet bottom lies in the fact that it retains more of the nutrients needed by the plant. Another trick is to give the new plant a rested soil. It is good that, in the sunny and airy place we have chosen, there have not been rose plants for a long time: these, in fact, tend to deplete the soil itself, absorbing all the nutritional properties. Therefore, in case of replacing an old shrub / plant with a new one, it will be necessary to replace a part of the base soil.To get the best from roses, care must be aimed at ensuring the right nourishment and good pruning. As for nutrition, it is a good idea to mix fertilizer with the surrounding soil (attention: it must be specific for roses!) Taking care that it is rich in phosphorus and that it is distributed at the right times of the year: at the beginning and at the end of the Spring and mid-summer. Pruning is essential. Pruning allows us to have a second more abundant and luxuriant flowering. Like? The old flower is removed until it reaches just above the first bud immediately following the removed flower.

For example, the sapling variant is ideal if you want to create a garden of isolated specimens that stand out among the green, with their color. color: the thousand variations of roses that can be mixed and matched with each other, will cover the whole calendar year, identify the colors and predict how the garden will look during the four seasons, essential for imagining and creating an impactful place.

If roses are our passion, but we want to alternate them with other plants and shrubs, we can create mixed taste gardens, following a few simple rules.

Climbing roses can very well be a piece of furniture in a garden that, for example, has an ugly fence or an unpleasant surrounding wall. Planting them close to, a few centimeters, the wall or the fence, allows a dense and uniform coverage that will fail only during the winter season and for a few months. it will be advisable to plant the roses as close together as possible, and to mix them, or alternate them, with other flowering plants. An excellent pairing given by roses and lilac varieties, or roses and lavender; again, if you have bush roses, choose to plant the violets immediately below.
