Wanting to do a nice rose Garden?
You didn't say what type of budget you have so I will give you the high end deal.


Rope off a 50'x50' circle, build a 6' trellis around outside of circle leaving a 3' space for walkway.


Build 2'deep x 3'wide box around circle inside trellis. Plant climbing roses.


Build 2' deep x 3' side box two feet in from first box and plant standard rose bushes.


build 2' deep x 2' wide box two feet inside second box and plant tea rose bushes.


Rest of circle plant grass.


Plant climbers 4' apart, standards 3' apart and tea's 2 foot apart. Fill boxes completely full with good soil until it compacts down (1st year) Then add dirt to 3/4 way then add mulch the last 1/4.


Water in the morning before 10am unless you use a soaker. Watering later afternoon into night promotes mold and diseases. Feed twice a year, spring and fall, bone meal, 13-13-13 mixture.


Good luck and remember that with beauty comes work
Reply:You should use David Austin roses. They are a wonderful hybrid rose, which means that they were hybridized using old garden roses with standard roses. They are very hearty and bloom throughout the summer. (Most roses will bloom once or twice per summer). Plant in three's. Choose maybe three difft. varieties and plant three of the same variety together (to make a garden of 9 plants)- or larger. What I have done is make a bed of let's say 18 roses- that would give you 6 difft. varieties (I don't care for red, so I would plant pinks, lavender and whites), then I like to plant herbs throughout the bed, and then border this bed with either boxwood, lavender or russian sage- perovskia. The soil prep is very important for roses. It's imp. to till the soil down to a foot and add soil conditioners- well rotted manure, peat moss and lime. Roses do not like "wet feet", so to ensure good soil, it needs to be fine and crumbly. After you plant the roses, (and ask the salesperson to show you the depth they should be planted at- not too deep)- you will make a fairly small circle around the rose and apply fertilizer- scratched in to the soil. Fertilize 3 or 4 x per summer. Also have them advise you as to the pruning. David Austin roses are the easiest to prune and are very hardy. Have Fun.....and enjoy your peaceful and contemplative place in memory of your Mum.
Reply:What a great idea. Hybrid Teas are good. You want to sit in peace and think. What about the rose 'Peace'. Its beautiful with a light scent. The blooms are good for cutting and bringing indoors.
Reply:maybe you can have a circle around the center of the garden. then most of the center would be made of bircks, but there would be an entrance with a white arch that a climbing rose would climb on. then you can have rose bushes surround the outside of the circle, and inside the circle you can put 2 benches and you can sit on the bench and think
Reply:roses are easy to maintain just make sure you water them.correctly best time to water is at night.give them fertilizer that will help them grow healthier and try to feed them miracle grow once a month.
