Planting Roses in Containers

Selection of Pots/Containers:

1-      First of all choose an appropriately sized container. Miniature roses thrive in a 12-inch (30.5-cm) container, while floribundas and hybrid tea roses need 15 inches (38 cm). Larger hybrids and tree roses need to be in containers measuring 18 inches (45.7 cm) or larger.

2-      If you plan on moving your rose around then light weight containers will be the best choice. A container made of plastic will probably be the easiest to re-position.

3-      Choose a light coloured container, since dark colours heat up faster and dry out the soil.

4-      Select a pot that provides good drainage. Plastic and clay pots with holes at the bottom offer better drainage than containers without holes.

Growing Outdoor Plants

1- Choose a suitable place for the plant in your garden. Using a spade, dig a hole that's slightly bigger than the size of the pot that it's growing in.

Tips to Grow the Flowering Plants

Get the best soil:

Flowers, like all plants, need good soil in order to grow up strong and healthy. Regardless of whether you are planting your flowers in a pot or a garden, good soil is a must. Avoid soil that is heavy with clay, sand, or rocks, and that has a balanced pH near 7. Flowers need at least six inches of loose soil to start out growing in, so loosen up a top layer at least this deep.
