A rose garden, have your ever gazed upon one? Garden owners delight in having rose trees in their garden. We decided to plant a rose tree after a few years of working with “normal” rose bushes. They were introduced to us by my loving Aunt Ruby. She has a wonderful garden. Not only did she have a wide variety of rose bushes she had a rose tree garden. There are so many types of rose trees that she didn’t have two alike. It was a wonderful place to hand out and catch up on life. Rose trees are nothing more than just a root stock conjoined to stem and the conjoined to a rose bush. The name of the “tree” is derived from the long standard. The average height of a rose tree is between 3 to 6 feet and they come in multiple colors.

Once you’ve selected your desired tree for you rose tree garden, we now need to prepare the planting area.Properly preparing the soil is imperative to a healthy and long living rose bush. The best time to plant one of these bushes is mid to early Spring. The trunk has no security against the sun so it can easily get sun burns. Add in fertilized to the soil and organize the ground the same way that is being done for other rose bushes. Always be ready with stakes since we want to make sure that the rose tree doesn’t fall over. A good steak, just like on the grill, can make all the difference for a successful rose tree.

Pruning is another important element to consider in ensuring your bush’s survival. Your rose tree may put on a little more weight on one side due to growth. You must remove some weight from the heavier side so that the weight will be returned back to the center. Do not forget to do this for the sake of your rose tree.

That really is a downer so please make sure to keep up on pruning. When pruning you will need to have a sharp pair of sheers or knife. Cutting above a node will ensure the rose tree’s growth.Winter doesn’t give any exceptions so you need to guard your rose tree. It is for this reason that you need to prune as much as doable. You should never ever prune the cane of the rose bush.

After you are done with the pruning you can either give it a winter blanket or move it indoors by transplanting it to a pot. Cover the trunk to defend it from the cold should you decide to leave it outside. You’ll need some chicken wire shaped like a cylinder and put it around the trunk of the bush. Pour in as much mulch as possible going all up to the base of the bush. No part of the cane must be visible.This plant will require just a little more attention but is well worth the hassle. It stands out in any garden and is a favorite amongst rose enthusiasts. Remember to do as much research as you can to ensure a superb experience when caring for your rose tree garden.
