Where to plant a rose-plant? 

Roses are bright, vibrant, and charismatic so they need bright sunlight to grow and thrive. If you want to have flowers throughout the entire year and want a full blossoming plant, then make sure to plant it in an area where it will get enough sunlight during the day.  

A minimum of 6-7 hours of sun is important for its growth. Especially the morning sun because it dries the morning dew from the leaves which is responsible for causing disease.  

It grows well in water but doesn’t overwater your plant. You can make sure to water your plants enough to keep the soil moist. Don’t dry the soil completely that can rot the roots of your plant.  

Everyone is least concerned with the pH of the plant, but they love a slightly acidic pH to thrive. Make sure to maintain the pH of the soil between 5.5 to 7.0. If the pH is 6.5 then it is the right and perfect pH for the growth of the plant in your garden.
