The rose, the undisputed queen of gardens and a symbol of love and beauty, has earned a place of honour in our hearts and on our terraces. At Eiviss Garden, we are passionate about sharing with you the art of growing rose bushes, especially those that grow in pots. Below, we provide you with a detailed guide to planting and caring for rose bushes.
Varieties of rose bushes at Eiviss Garden
Grandiflora: "Grandiflora" is a term recognised as early as 1954 to describe this new type, developed from a cross between Hybrid Tea and Floribunda. Grandifloras tend to bear their flowers at the top of their stems. The flower size is slightly larger than Floribunda, making them one of the tallest roses. Grandiflora flowers are usually double, but they lack a distinctive fragrance.
Climbers: Their beautiful foliage grows magnificent flowers and they usually do not pose any risk of structural damage. They get their name as "climbers" thanks to their long shoots, which allow them to climb countless surfaces. Unlike shrub roses, which also have very vigorous but very dense growth, climbing roses develop long shoots that seek to grow upwards.
Fragrant roses: Not all roses give off a strong scent; in fact, many have very little fragrance at all. If you're looking to create a scented garden, varieties such as Mr. Lincoln and Honey Perfume stand out not only for their perfume but also for their beauty.
How do you plant a rose bush directly from a pot?
If possible, the soil should be prepared well in advance, dug over deeply and enriched with the fertiliser you normally use. That said, never use fresh farmyard manure, and also make sure that no type of fertiliser comes into direct contact with the roots when planting.
Make sure the hole you dig is wider and deeper than the container in which the rose is growing, with the base of the stems about 3 cm below ground level.
