Rose Pruning Shears - You’ll need this tool almost everyday and it comes in 2 varieties. A bypass pruner looks somewhat like a scissor and is more preferable to an anvil pruner because it doesn’t seem to crush the tender stems of a rose. The blades of an anvil pruner meet on top and are stronger than a bypass
pruner.
Rose Gardening Loppers - Well, you won’t need these if you are just kick-starting your rose garden. These babies are much more efficient than both the pruning shears and are required when the stems of the roses become much stronger and thicker. Don’t waste your money buying these right away, just wait for a few years when your roses have become more mature.
Rose Gardening Shovels - Select one with padded handles which just might save you a few bruises. Also, see if you can buy one made out of fiberglass as that tends to be more lightweight, yet it is sufficiently strong to do the down and dirty work.
Wheelbarrow for Rose Gardening - Yep, quite Enid Blyton but equally essential. Avoid those cutesy girly ‘carts’ and buy a sturdy one. As your rose gardening hobby grows, you’ll need a durable wheelbarrow to lug stuff in and out of the garden.
Rose Gardening Gloves and Pads - And again, select industrial strength gloves because roses have prickly thorns. Kneeling pads are required to keep the pressure off your knees.
You can select between waterproof pads with handles or perhaps pads with velcro straps.
Growing a Carefree Spirit Rose
Growing a Carefree Spirit Rose is an easy task and well worth the effort to see the beautiful flowers growing in your rose garden.
The Carefree Spirit Rose was the winner of the 2009 AARS award. Hybridized by Jacques Mouchotte, the rose is now grown throughout the United States.
If you like very pretty, cherry red flowers that measure up to about 2 inches in flower size, you will love these flowers.
The best time for planting rose beds is in the spring. You can plant them in early spring or mid spring according to your convenience, but make sure that all the frost has dissolved so that your plants remain safe.
A rose in its original form grows on a bush, so pruning will be extremely important to remove the dead, diseased and broken wood from the rose bush. Pruning is usually done in the spring, after the plant has been dormant for the winter.
The next stage of pruning occurs after the plant has bloomed. Pruning the actual flowers themselves encourages growth and by removing the flower buds it helps to establish a new plant. There are thorns on the rose bushes so you will have to be very careful when cutting your rose stems if you decide to bring your cut flowers inside for display in your favorite rose vase.
A Carefree Spirit Rose like all plants prefers to dwell in good soils, with sunlight, room to grow and at least one inch of water per week to keep them growing into a healthy rose bush. A Carefree Spirit Rose does extremely well with both inorganic and organic fertilizers although organic fertilizer materials can be digested by the helpful bacteria and fungus within the soil which will result in your soil permanently becoming more fertile.
Some soils still might need a little help. The best way to do that is to work compost into the soil of a new garden or as mulch in an existing garden. It is easy to start compost pile in your yard by adding decaying plant clippings, grass clippings, dried leaves, and even kitchen scraps like fruit peels into a pile and then allowing it to decompose over time.
Roses are symbols of love, so plant your roses everywhere you’d like love to enter.
