Growing a Carefree Spirit Rose
from: By Deb St. George, on Carefree Spirit Rose in your Rose Gardening Guide From spiritravels.com
Growing a Carefree Spirit Rose is an easy task and well worth the effort to see the beautiful flowers growing in your rose garden.
The Carefree Spirit Rose was the winner of the 2009 AARS award. Hybridized by Jacques Mouchotte, the rose is now grown throughout the United States.
If you like very pretty, cherry red flowers that measure up to about 2 inches in flower size, you will love these flowers.
The best time for planting rose beds is in the spring. You can plant them in early spring or mid spring according to your convenience, but make sure that all the frost has dissolved so that your plants remain safe.
A rose in its original form grows on a bush, so pruning will be extremely important to remove the dead, diseased and broken wood from the rose bush. Pruning is usually done in the spring, after the plant has been dormant for the winter.
The next stage of pruning occurs after the plant has bloomed. Pruning the actual flowers themselves encourages growth and by removing the flower buds it helps to establish a new plant. There are thorns on the rose bushes so you will have to be very careful when cutting your rose stems if you decide to bring your cut flowers inside for display in your favorite rose vase.
A Carefree Spirit Rose like all plants prefers to dwell in good soils, with sunlight, room to grow and at least one inch of water per week to keep them growing into a healthy rose bush. A Carefree Spirit Rose does extremely well with both inorganic and organic fertilizers although organic fertilizer materials can be digested by the helpful bacteria and fungus within the soil which will result in your soil permanently becoming more fertile. Some soils still might need a little help. The best way to do that is to work compost into the soil of a new garden or as mulch in an existing garden. It is easy to start compost pile in your yard by adding decaying plant clippings, grass clippings, dried leaves, and even kitchen scraps like fruit peels into a pile and then allowing it to decompose over time.
Roses are symbols of love, so plant your roses everywhere you’d like love to enter.
