If you really wanted to pursue a garden project and fill it up with roses, the first thing you needed to keep in mind is to plan everything. Yes, this is the core of the entire rose planting endeavor. You need to plan all the details and to pick the type of roses which you will be using. If you are new to the whole gardening thing, it will be wise to consult a professional or even someone you personally know to help you out. To give you some useful ideas, you can also do some research on your own by looking things up at catalogs and browsing through gardening magazines. You can also visit any local garden or even parks to have an idea about certain landscapes and certain plants fit for home gardens if you plan to add in more than just roses.

As soon as you have accomplished making a solid plan for your garden, the next thing you have to do would be to select the types of plants for inclusion in the garden. The next important step after planning will have to be the preparation. In preparation, all the plans you have will begin to materialize in the form of raw materials. Make sure you include the roses you want and prepare the soil for your garden. You need to remember that garden soil does not actually occur within a snap. You do not have it overnight and you really needed to tend it before it does actually materialize. You need to make sure that you have also dug the holes where you will be placing your roses and make sure that they are separated with just the right space in between them.

Then of course after preparing your entire garden, you will now be ready to plant your roses. However, make sure that the holes you have prepared are about six inches deeper and larger as compared to the roses which you will be planting. As you begin to plant the roses, you need to carefully remove them from their wrappings to make sure they do not get damaged especially their roots. As soon as you have unwrapped the roses, the next thing you have to do will be to plant it already. Pack in the soil so that the roses will be held in place and make sure you also mix it in with water to keep the plants hydrated.
