			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you&#8217;re growing roses, you&#8217;ll welcome rose gardening tips to help your plants grow strong. For example, you&#8217;ll want to give them the type of soil and watering they need. Rather than watering often, which keeps their roots shallow, just water once a week. If their beds have plenty of rich organic material, then the soil preparation combined with about an inch of water per week will provide good ongoing rose care. These and other details about care need to be researched for specific roses, but the following are some basic guidelines.</p>
<p> In addition to regular watering and good soil, you&#8217;ll also need proper fertilizer for whichever types of roses you have. Start around March or early April, and then do another feeding in May, and another in June or early July. The nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium ratios vary. For hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, climbers and polyanthas, each bush needs half a cup with a 10-20-20 ratio for each feeding. Miniature rose bushes, on the other hand, need a slightly different combination of 1 tablespoon of 10-20-20 sprinkled the first time, then one cup of a 20-20-20 ratio of soluble fertilizer for the second and third feedings. Shrub and old garden roses only need the 20-20-20 mix in the spring, or possibly again after the first blooming. Following these tips can help the plants to grow strong.</p>
<p> Pruning roses is done when the plants are dormant, such as in the spring just before they start to grow again. To encourage lush growth, cut all but the healthiest stalks, leaving no more than five, and cut those remaining stalks to between 12 and 24 inches. One exception is when you first plant a rose bush, as you are encouraged to remove all new flower buds for the first two months, so the energy goes into making the plant strong. For other rose gardening tips, you need to research the different rose types you have in your garden, to find out their particular needs.</p>
<p> When preparing your garden for the winter, other rose gardening tips can advise you on whether or not you need to wrap the bare stalks and place mulch around the base or whether to bury the bush during the cold months. You may also start preparing roses for winter by planting in the spring, to give their roots time to develop. Tips like these are available in books, on the internet and at rose nurseries and gardens. You will have many opportunities to learn how to create a beautiful rose garden and to help it grow in a healthy way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you decide to create a rose garden, then there are many directions you can take in your design. You can go very formal, with clipped and shaped hedges and lots of symmetry and straight lines. Or you can go in the opposite direction, with less rigid lines but lots of lush growth. The wonder of roses is that you don&#8217;t just have a fantastic range of colors to choose from, but have bushes that grow to different heights, have different foliage, and have differently shaped flowers as well. There are a thousand possibilities for your garden design.</p>
<p> You need to be aware of a few things before starting your rose garden, however. Since it will be created primarily from only one type of plant, any diseases, insects or other problems that affect only one rose bush will likely affect them all. However, some are more disease-resistant than others, so if you mix a few of those with the more delicate hybrid teas, you might lower the maintenance required. Also keep in mind that roses don&#8217;t tend to look very attractive wrapped up in the winter, so you&#8217;ll need to be content with enjoying the beauty of the garden in the warmer months.</p>
<p> You might, however, plant your rose garden with hedged borders of small evergreens, so you will still have some green in the winter. This works well with more formal gardens, where flower beds or boxes are arranged in symmetric, carefully defined patterns. A formal garden uses straight lines, often with graveled walkways between beds, sometimes with a rose garden pool set in the center. On the other hand, you may prefer a less formal arrangement with the roses collected together into one area. In this case, you would arrange them both by color and height, perhaps with rose ground covers along the edges of the bed to conceal the bare ground.</p>
<p> Don&#8217;t forget that you can accessorize your rose garden as well. Whether you decide to set a rose pool somewhere, or create lined paths among the flower beds, you can create a unique atmosphere. You might place a bench along the curve of a path or flower bed, or set pots of trailing roses along a walkway. For many people, the meaning of roses is peace, and for others it&#8217;s beauty and artistry. If you plan carefully and keep on top of potential problems as they arise, you can create a garden that expresses your individual vision.</p>
