Growing Your Roses

I really like to watch growing roses.Not merely the roses but any other plant in this world!!! I like to feed them with care and see the flowers blooming..... Sometimes ago when I started growing roses, some way other my roses did not last for years. I had rose plants which did not bear roses for years. And I also had roses which lived for sometime and left me alone.

I thought that the rose plants which did not gave me roses might lack the required amount of water or fertilizer. So what I did was removing them from the big pots that I planted them and seated them on earth. But what happened was unbearable. They died after sometime. 

I realized that I can not grow roses. But my love for roses did never fade away. One day when my boy friend returned from Nuwara-Eliya he brought me a set of rose plants. Two of them were big reds and one of them is a big pink. I was showered with joy when I received them and I again got a kick to grow roses. I referred a lot of online materials and merged my experience of growing roses and other plants . And I realized the terrific mistakes I did when growing my oldies. If I list them one by one for your benefit, then they are as bellow;

• Did not control the amount of water they had
• Did never under go any regular feeding (fertilizer) methods.
• Did not consider about the optimum sun exposure.
• Did not look in to the leaves to see whether they are growing any fungus.

I had a nice picture of an old rose plat which bore flowers for sometime and left me alone. This is also a one that I planted on earth after removing from a pot.!!!!
