Bush roses like to present their flowers from June to autumn, provided they are in the right place and receive the right care. But where do they feel most comfortable and how do you plant them professionally?

Bush roses can be planted in autumn or spring

When is the ideal planting time?

You can plant a rose bush in autumn if you bought it in containers. The ideal time is between the end of October and mid-November. Alternatively, bush roses can also be planted in spring without any problems. It is important to put them in the ground before they sprout.

How do you plant bush roses?

First, the soil at the selected location is deeply loosened. The bush rose is then placed with its ball in a bucket of lukewarm water for about 12 hours. In it, the roots soak up water and later growth is easier.

This is how to continue planting the bush roses:

  • If necessary, shorten roots (thus branching out better)
  • Put the bush rose in the planting hole
  • surrounded with earth
  • step down
  • pour on
  • when planting in autumn: pile with soil to protect against frost

Which location meets the requirements?

Sunny locations are best. Keep away from sheltered locations! There the susceptibility to fungal diseases increases. Airy locations are much cheaper. If no sunny location is available, you can place your bush rose in partial shade, for example in a bed or on a trellis on the wall of the house.

What requirements should the substrate meet?

The soil is also extremely important for the bush rose! Always choose deep soil. When planting in tubs, make sure that the tub depth is appropriate. It is optimal if the substrate has the following characteristics:

  • humorous
  • nutritious
  • moderate
  • well drained
  • wet
  • calcareous
  • loamy

What plants do bush roses look amazing next to?

Bush roses are planted either individually in tubs, in groups in rose beds or along paths or next to other flowers. Depending on the variety and color, the following plant neighbors look good next to bush roses:

  • gypsophila
  • daisies
  • lavender
  • clematis
  • ferns
  • grasses

tips

Bush roses only do well in the first two years of being transplanted. Cut back the growth beforehand so that it can be moved more easily!
