Wild Rose Care

Wild roses are beautiful and slightly different from more domesticated varieties.  When you are thinking of growing these in your garden, you need to know a few things about where they grow naturally as well as how to care for them.  Most of them are single bloomers and will not vary too much in their coloration.  Most are pink, red, white, and some are even yellow.  These kinds of roses are hardy and versatile since they are supported on their root systems that have had no interference from man whatsoever.  They will also make it through harsh winters and return even more beautiful than before the next spring. They are easy growers and planted just like any other flower or plant you have in your garden area.

They need lots of sunlight and moist soil conditions. Space them properly because overcrowding can stunt their growth or even kill them over time.  Overcrowding also increases chances for disease and pests.  After planting, make sure they get lots of water and a little extra attention.  However, after these plants’ root systems have become established in their new home, they will need very little from you as a gardener. Little maintenance is involved such as removing deadheads and trimming the branches. Removing old blooms and unsightly parts of the plant will promote and encourage new growth and will make the plant over healthier and happier in the process.  These are beautiful for lining driveways or walkways, or you can even make this a show piece in your garden to impress your friends and family who come to visit.  Just make sure you when buy these that you have the time in the beginning to get these established in your garden so that they last for years and are beautiful.  Also, read up and research the particular variety you are choosing to plant in your garden and soil conditions.  Enjoy your wild roses!
