Roses are a beautiful sight to look at! The scent it fills the garden with and the beautiful deep red colour it has really makes the garden perfect. So, here we list 10 perfect steps to plant the most beautiful rose garden, right in your home.

The first thing to do when you think of planting a rose garden is choosing the right spot. Choose a spot in your garden that receives at least 3-5 hours of sunlight daily. Roses thrive in full sun.

Ensure the soil you put the seeds or cutting in is well-draining, rich in organic matter and slightly acidic. Incorporate compost or aged manure into the soil to improve its texture and fertility.

Roses come in various colours and varieties. Select roses that are suitable for your climate and soil conditions. Consider factors like fragrance, bloom colour and growth habits.

When you finally plant the root or the cutting, dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the rose root ball. Place the rose plant in the hole and make sure it is slightly above the soil level. Then fill it up nicely with organic manure and more soil.

When the cutting is planted fresh, water it regularly to prevent dryness. Make sure that you water in regular intervals, and for the initial few months don't let the soil get dry.

Once you are done planting the rose, add in some mulch to it. Barks, twigs, leaves, etc, serve as great mulching agents. This outer layer also makes sure that the soil retains moisture and keeps away weeds.

When we say special, we don’t mean natural water fresh from the streams, but rather water with added nutrients. Rice water for example or water infused with banana peels is great on nutrients.

Pruning is important for maintaining the shape of your home garden. Remove dead, damaged or pest eaten wood, and prune the bushy leaves.

Roses are not just beautiful to our eyes but also to pests and insects that can be attracted because of the aroma. So, keep an eye out for common rose pests like aphids, thrips and spider mites.

Cultivating a beautiful rose garden requires both time and effort. So, spend time regularly in your rose garden to deadhead spent blooms, remove faded petals, and inspect for any signs of pests.
