Rose Farming

Flowers are the jewels of ‘mother nature’. Every flower has its own beauty and uniqueness. Roses are the ‘Queen of flowers,’ these add elegance and a real joy to any yard. If you love roses, you will surely be pleased to find that rose plantation is very easy and inexpensive. The amazing fragrance of roses adds to their beautiful look. You can grow your own roses in your own garden or farm by understanding the basics of nature’s garden.

Roses have many varieties such as climbing roses, old roses, shrub roses, modern roses and English roses. Rose plants can grow well under the difficult conditions and bloom almost continuously from early summer to frost. Their proper plant nutrition is easy and simple to provide with the use of complete plant food that supplies all the vital elements needed from the soil.

The regular use of insecticide and fungicide can prevent the insect and disease problems easily. You need to prepare the soil for rose plantation. Manure is the best for digging in the soil when you prepare for planting roses. If the farmyard manure is not readily available, the best substitute is basic slag. Apply this, after spreading it over the surface at the rate of 1/2 lb. to each square yard, and then digging it in the bed.

Roses from the pots may be planted at any time of year, however preferably not later than May, since the roots are not distributed. Roses need no further manure, except occasional dressings of fertilizer during summer.
