Roses When buying roses try to buy them without any blooms, if unable then when you go to add them to a new pot or bed cut all buds off. Be sure and remove all dead branches from them as well. Doing this will let the plant root down into the soil, making them a stronger plant. I have found that miniature roses and bush type roses are the hardest and are less disease prone than most other types of roses. When selecting a place to plant roses make sure you have enough room to plant them about a foot apart from each other; this allows them to get good air circulation around them, which help fight diseases. If planting miniature roses plant at least 6 inches apart. You may think about planting a tea rose in back and planting miniature roses in front to give them a better look this will give you a great look. If you are thinking about planting other types of flowers in with your roses, try and get something that will come up early and will be done before you roses start to bud out in the spring like tulips or crocus. Great Fertilizer for Roses Secret Rose Punch Manure of any kind put in a plastic bucket or trash can filled 1/4 the way full and add water to fill the rest of the way. Let sit for at least 2 weeks in the sun before using. This make for a great plant food. Poor on the ground next to the rose not getting on the leaves of the plant, Apply once or twice a month. This also works good on all plants and trees also. Black Spot Preventive Maintenance Tip Mix milk 1/4 with 3/4 water in a spray bottle and coat all leaves this will prevent black spots from forming on your roses. If this does not work you may also try another solution. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with a gallon of water and a few drops of a lightweight horticultural oil. This solution works best as a preventative, rather than as a cure. Black spot can not always be completely prevented, but with proper care it can be kept to a minimum and to a level that will not be detrimental to your roses. Follow these steps: Plant resistant varieties when possible. When planting, space far enough apart to provide good air circulation around the plants. Maintain a healthy plant through proper fertilization and watering. Keep the leaves dry. Avoid watering from overhead, instead water just the soil around the plants. Water early in the day so the sun will dry foliage quickly. Remove and destroy all infected plant parts.
