'Brilliant Pink Iceberg' a floribunda rose
Plant in a well-prepared deeply dug bed. The soil should be fertile and well drained. If drainage is a problem, simply build a raised bed about 8 to 12 inches high off the ground. A raised bed is actually very good for all plants, and can be very attractive if lined with rocks, etc.
An 'Alpine' rose
The planting hole should be at least two feet wide and a foot deep. Add organic matter such as composted manure to each hole. You should also add a cupful each of bone meal, blood meal, and alfafa pellets. Mix it all together and fill in the hole around your rose plant. Sprinkle some Epsom salt around the rose bush and scratch it in the soil. Water the roses deeply to reach the roots Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungus diseases.
