Best soil chemistry for roses: Roses seem to grow best in soil that has a chemical pH of about 6.5.
Planting roses:To plant roses which have been obtained from a nursery first water the rose, and then remove it from the pot. If the rose is in a paper pot cut off the bottom and remove the sidewalls so that the fine, new white feeder roots of the growing plant might be preserved. Flower power: In the 60's hippies would put flowers in the rifle barrel of soldiers guns as they stood at attention.
