I just got a small potted rose bush for v-day. how can i successfully care for it?

what kind of soil do i need for a good rose bush? how often should i water it while im keeping it inside during the winter? does it need to in a sunny or shady area? what kind of plant food is best? do different kinds of roses need different care?

Hello,

Try to find a larger pot if you must keep it inside. The best is to plant it in a flower bed outside. To keep it blooming and the leaves healthy purchase rose food at Walmart or Kmart. If out side just water it as you would water the flower bed. If inside water when the soil becomes dry. I have one of the little potted rose bushes transplanted in my flower bed %26amp; it blooms all summer. I feed it and watch it grow. It's not little anymore.

Reply:first of all, where do you live! if you live somewhere like So. Cal, just plant it and let the sprinklers water it! But in places with colder weather, I suggest a local garden department or a book
Reply:Roses do NOT grow well inside, winter or not. Please put it outside. If you have snow, you might want to keep it in a warmish area. Sun is a must for roses. If it is in a small pot, I would reccommend transplanting it to a larger container. Make sure it has drainage hole in the bottom. Use only "Potting soil".

Good luck.

Reply:Sit by a window that gets sunlight each day and keep it inside until free of frost outside. Transplant it into a flower bed if you have one and cover it at ground level with mulch to keep the moisture in.
