Below, we are going to see a series of preparation tips to know how to make a rose garden at home. To do this, we will have to take into account:
- Maintenance: if you are a beginner in gardening, avoid choosing rose bushes that require very specific care, so when you go to buy it at your usual garden store, ask the clerk who advised you those that do not need too much care and ask him to explain them well to you in order to properly care for your roses.
- The specific location: the place where you want to put your roses should be a sunny place (at least six hours a day) and with organic soil and good watering. Also, when you place them, make sure that they are placed away from paths or furniture to avoid getting pricked by the thorns or so that they do not get damaged.
- The preparation of the site: once you have chosen the place where your roses will go, you must prepare the place since you must do it precisely. When you dig the hole in the ground, you should make sure that it is twice as wide as the root ball of the plant, so you will not have future problems.
- Watering: you should also keep in mind that when it rains you will not have to be very aware of its watering, but when there is no rain you will have to water them at least 3 times a week, although the soil should be moist but never flooded with water.
Now that we know some of the basic tips for creating gardens with roses, let’s see some ideas or suggestions so that we can say that we have “the rose garden”.

Rose garden with fence
It seems like a difficult idea but nothing could be further from the truth, building your own rose fence is easy and it will also look great in your garden. You can put your roses on a fence that you already have installed that is made of wood or any other material that goes according to the decoration of your garden.
All we have to do is plant the rose bushes at a good distance and try to grow in the right direction and with the support of the fence. In this way, we will have a garden with roses that surround the perimeter and give a cozy and elegant feeling.
Rose garden with metal supports
Using metal brackets can be a great idea for creating shade in summer. It should be noted that both this and the other ideas for gardens with rose bushes can also be used on the terrace, as long as we have enough space and we know that we will be able to take good care of the roses.
In the same way as in the previous case, we will place the metal supports in the area we want, always thinking that the rose bushes must receive light. We can create a chill-out area where the supports surround a table with chairs or sofas, in order to create a more relaxed space. Now, depending on whether we have a terrace or garden, we will plant the roses in a pot or in the ground.

Rose garden contained
Contained rose gardens are a somewhat more classic idea but it doesn’t have to be worse. When we think of garden decoration with rose bushes, we often try to be extravagant and innovative without knowing that, sometimes, the simple and common is much more striking. This is something that happens with roses, since they are located in any area, they highlight.
In this case, we will only have to know where we want to place the roses. We can create rectangular, round or triangular blocks, depending on our taste. In this way we create areas of rose bushes that will give our garden a sophisticated air.
