Step 8: If you want to plant roses in a container, buy a pot 16– 24 in (41–61 cm) wide.
If you want your roses to grow in a different container, make sure your pot has a diameter of at least 16 in (41 cm) so it can hold them.If you have a bigger rose bush, go with a larger pot so the roots have more room to grow.Most home supply and garden stores have large pots for sale.
Step 9: If planting roses, dig a hole that is at least 38 cm wide.
If you want to place the roots in the soil, you should dig a wide hole.Line the tip of your shovel up to your soil, and press on the side of it with your foot.You can scoop out a lot of dirt with this shovel.Your hole is roughly 38 cm wide.This doesn't need to be an exact measurement.The size of your rose bush can be used to calculate the hole's size.If you have a small bush, dig a smaller hole.
Step 10: The well-drained soil made for roses should be filled at the bottom.
You should always use well-drained soil with your roses, whether you are putting them in the dirt or moving them to another container.Line the base of your hole by using a garden tool to scoop out some soil.Potting soil can be purchased at home supply and garden stores.Your roses may develop diseases if the soil does not drain properly.
Step 11: To fill a hole or pot, mix equal parts of soil, compost, and manure.

Step 14: Immediately after you plant your roses, water them.
Put the gardening hose at the base of the rose bush.For roses, water them for about a minute.After you plant your flowers, make sure to water them.
Step 15: Water your roses at least once a day.
Ample water is required to grow roses.In warm weather, soak all of the roots for 1 minute at least 2 times a week.You want to make sure the water reaches the roots, rather than just the surface.If you stick your finger into the soil, you can see how wet it is.You should water your roses if it is dry.Aim to give the roses a total of 3 in (8.6 cm) of water every week.
Step 16: The buds can be misted with a light coating of water.

Step 19: When your roses reach 24 in (46 cm), cut them.
If you want to cut your long stem flowers to display in a bouquet or a vase, trim them when they grow to about 18 in (46 cm) or longer.The standard long stem rose has this length.Cut the rose 18 in (46 cm) away from the flower by removing the extra leaves and buds with garden shears.Prune the flower with a 45 degree angle cut directly above another bud.Your rose should grow beyond 24 in (61 cm) if you want extra-long stems.
