How to grow roses well?

Rose , known as the "Queen of Flowers", has become an indispensable decoration in the homes of many flower lovers with its rich varieties, diverse colors and fragrant aroma. Whether it is a balcony or a courtyard, roses can add a touch of vitality to the home environment with their unique charm. So how can we grow roses to grow well?

1. Choose the right variety

For balcony planting, choose varieties that bloom frequently and have bright colors, such as fruit balconies , which are suitable for small spaces and bloom frequently. For terraces or courtyards, you can choose shrub roses or climbing roses, such as Princess Margaret and Lonza Gem, to adapt to larger spaces.

Make sure the soil is fertile. Roses love fertilizer, and lack of fertility will result in slow growth and sparse flowering. When potting , use organic fertilizer such as sheep dung cake fertilizer as base fertilizer.
