care-of-roses
The proper care-of-roses will determine what your rose garden looks like. As an example, the soil needs particular nutrients for roses to thrive. Proper care in wintertime may determine whether your rose bushes will live through the winter (especially in cold weather). If you live in Zone 5 or colder, you may want to do as many rose gardners do, and bury your rose bushes with leaves, straw, or other mulch which will act as insulation. Pruning your roses is very important. Watching for insects and other pesky pests, like gophers that love rose roots is important too. Whatever you do, your care of roses is very important to continual beauty all summer long.
