The conditions for growing roses in the ground at our nursery are far from ideal. The soil is rocky and poor in organic matter, the sun is intense with almost no shade, the wind is fierce and dessicating and our water is severely restricted. Some roses have only been watered 5 or 6 times a year. And the rabbits eat the young shoots. However we love roses and are growing many varieties. We do fertilize once or twice a year with a good organic/alfalfa fertilizer, and we usually mulch them. And we manage weeds and pests when necessary. It is our intention to water all the roses every two weeks, and perhaps increase the frequency to every 10 days if necessary. Most of the roses we sell should thrive with once a week watering and reasonable care. We think that roses, like most garden plants, should be sustainable. Of course we can make some exceptions.
