Roses, "the queens of flowers", are gentle and sometimes pretty choose plants.

If you grow them in your garden, then you need to prepare them for winter, and then to restore them.

Here's how you can do that.

Pruning

Start by pruning your roses in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. 

Cut back the remaining healthy branches by about one-third of their length to encourage new growth.

Cleaning

Clear away any fallen leaves or debris around the base of the rose bush. 

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced slow-release rose fertilizer around the base of the plants according to the manufacturer's instructions. 

Watering

Proper watering is crucial for rose plants. 

Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. 

Water deeply, allowing the water to penetrate the roots. 

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the roses, leaving a small gap around the stems to prevent moisture-related issues. 

Sunlight and Air Circulation

Roses require ample sunlight for optimal growth and blooming. 

Ensure they are planted in a location with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. 

Regular Care

Throughout the growing season, provide regular care for your roses.
