Dead Heading
One of the benefits of roses is having lots of beautiful bouquets in the house. That's good for you and good for your roses. Flowers have only one purpose in life and that's to produce seeds so the plant can reproduce itself. Once the seeds have set many flowers, including roses, stop blooming. Remove the flowers as they become old and the bush should keep producing new blossoms. It will help flower production if you pick blossoms in their prime as well.
Feeding and Watering
Feed your roses a slow release fertilizer per the package directions. Most roses will only need to be fed in early spring right after they've leafed out and late summer. Water well after feeding.
As we said roses don't like their feet wet so water only when the top 2 inches feel dry. Roots go down about three feet so if the top of the soil feels moist the roses don't need to be watered yet.
You can grow beautiful roses without a lot of effort.
