All things organic are very popular right now, whether it be organic food or organic flowers. Organic growing is all natural and will prevent many of the problems that pesticides and insecticides may cause. It is also healthier for you because you are not handling those chemicals.

Each plant will need to have at least a foot between them. This provides the flowers the proper amount of circulation that they require. This space also helps
prevent leaf disease. You also need to ensure that the roses you purchase are certified organic. They should have a sturdy green stem and no blemishes. Bare roots are also best. The leaves should be evenly spaced and close together. Soil should be well drained to promote healthy growth.

Begin by soaking your bare root plants in a large container of composite tea for several hours. The soil should be mounded up with an equal amount of
composite in the middle so that the roots may spread out and down.

Plant the rose plant so that the area where the stem turns into roots is at the soil level or about one inch below the top level if your area has hard winters. Ensure that the roots are not growing in a bundle but straight out from the plant. If they
are then you will have to make four cuts to cause them to spread. The hole should also be about two inches deeper than the container and twice as wide.
Mix the composite with the organic garden soil. Spread the mix around the roots and fill it in to secure the plant. To prevent weeds and water stress, mulch the area. This will also aid in making your roses require less maintenance.

These roses should be fed organic fertilizer and receive a regular watering schedule. The roses should be watered deeply at planting and then once a week there afterwards during the growing season. Morning watering is always best.

You should also cultivate the top inch of the soil around the plants and fertilize monthly with the organic fertilizer. Granular type fertilizers are best for these.

You can also use a fish emulsion or seaweed based product on organic roses as well. The essential ingredients for these roses include:

- Nitrogen
- Phosphorous
- Potassium
- Iron
- Calcium

These ingredients should be present on the ertilizer's label. Mix these products with water to ensure that the plants receive these nutrients.

For pests and insect prevention, you can use sticky level bars every ten feet to catch them. You may also use an organic pesticide if you have a sever pest problem. Insecticidal soap is also best for very severe pest situations. These products are sprayed over the roses.

Organic roses have excellent colors and known for having the best "immune systems." Their fragrance is also great.
