Growing roses is to love ourselves. If you have difficulties in loving your self. This write-up will make you understand what went wrong...Here you are...

1. When you get a plant from a nursery or a cutting from a friend. You have to know a few things like the origin of the plant, variety and if it is cutting, make sure it is properly pruned. like a slanted cutting in between the junction nodes.

3. Another most important thing, Lighting. Lighting is very important for roses. If you have access to good intensive afternoon sunlight, then it will add much value to your plant growth. Don't plant or keep the plant in shade.

4. Don't do overwatering. Check the moisture, before you water and at the same time don't leave it dry in your absence. If you are using a container, then for the first time, water it fully until the water comes out of the container's outlet. Afterwards, check moisture content and water if required. If you do overwatering, it results in root rot.

5. Do proper mulching at the base of the plant to prevent soil erosion.

6. Apply a handful of  Homemade compost once in 15 to 20 days. 

7. Don't add kitchen scraps directly at the base of the plant. 

8. If you have any issues with insects, pests and growth. refer the following links and act accordingly.
