Ideally, remove the soil to a depth of 18-24 inches, piling it at the side of the bed for ease of mixing in completely rotted down, organic if possible, cow/buffalo manure, organic bone meal and river (not sea) sand - a good mix being 50 percent soil, 25 percent rotted manure, 20 percent river sand and five percent bone meal. Soil in beds should be deeply dug, any stones and roots of perennial weeds being removed in the process. Soil should be prepared for them about a month or so in advance, even if this soil is going to be used in plant pots or other suitably large containers.Įndowed with exquisite beauty and a wonderful fragrance, roses capture the heart of the holder They also like to be in an airy spot, yet sheltered from strong wind, especially so if the wind is a saltish one blowing directly off the sea. Direct, hot sunlight, can turn a vibrant red rose into a rather dreary, lacklustre specimen in no time at all, and rapidly leaches colour out of delicate pastel-shaded roses too. They dislike the intense heat of noon and early afternoon which, as well as depleting their energy, causes strong flower colours to fade rapidly. Roses, of all kinds, should receive morning or afternoon sunlight for at least six hours each day for them to do well. And they are, especially when planted in number, a hardy backbone to any ornamental or - as they produce (when cultivated 100 percent organically) edible petals and drinkable (once processed) rosehips - vegetable garden area, climbers and ramblers being especially useful around, up and along boundary walls and fences and over pergolas and archways.

Of the various types of roses, it is those known as Floribundas and Hybrid teas, along with our very own, incredibly perfumed, desi rose, which are the easiest and most rewarding to grow.

We are lucky in that roses, properly nurtured of course, can be had in bloom almost all around the year in the plains of our climatically diverse country which, on the whole, is a gardener’s paradise indeed.
