Plant the Perfect Bush Roses: A Step-by-Step Guide

April 17, 2023

Grow beautiful bush roses with these easy-to-follow planting tips!

Bush roses, also known as bedding roses, are upright bushes between 60 centimetres and 150 centimetres in height and are grafted onto a vigorous rootstock at ground level. The large-flowered or cluster-flowered bushes are ideal for creating showy beds of colour and fragrance. Here’s how to plant bush roses.

  1. Choose the right roses: Choose either large-flowered bushes or cluster-flowered bushes, but do not mix them for the best results.
  2. Find the right place: Roses love sunshine and need all the sun they can get, but not windy conditions. Provide shelter from trees, shrubs or hedges if the site is exposed.
  3. Plant at the right time: The best time to plant roses is November, but in areas of high rainfall and heavy soil, plant in March. Bare-root plants can be planted from October to March and container-grown plants can be planted at any time.
  4. Follow the proper planting method: Dig a hole twice the width and depth of the root system. Place the roots in the hole and spread them out. Refill the hole and press the soil down firmly.
  5. Water and fertilize: Water the newly planted bush roses with a sprinkler, ensuring they receive a thorough soaking. Feed roses once or twice a year, usually in spring and early summer, with a high-potassium fertilizer.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your bush roses thrive in the garden.
