Rose Spacing Guide

Sun. Roses need at least 4 to 6 hours of sun each day.

Soil. Roses prefer rich, loamy soil.

Drainage. Roses cannot stand in water, even during the winter when they are dormant.

Other plants. Roses can be planted alone or with companion perennials. Be sure to give your roses enough room to mature and fill out (see spacing chart).

Buildings. Plant your roses where falling ice and snow will not damage plants.
