I. Selecting Healthy Rose Seedlings and Suitable Soil
Firstly, choosing high-quality rose seedlings is very important. When purchasing at a flower shop or nursery, please choose healthy and vigorous rose seedlings. Observe whether the roots are compact, the branches are full of vitality, and the leaves are fresh and green. It is best to choose seedlings with lush roots, curved branches, and bright flower buds. If you cannot find suitable rose seedlings locally, you can order them online. Roses prefer fertile, well-drained soil. Before planting, ensure that your soil contains organic matter and sufficient nutrients. If your soil quality is not good, you can add decomposed compost or organic fertilizers to improve the soil quality. Moreover, it is best to test the soil pH before planting and adjust it to a suitable level. If your soil is too acidic, you can add lime to neutralize it. If your soil pH is too high, you can add sulfur to lower the pH.

II. Choosing the Right Location and Planting Rose Seedlings
Rose seedlings need plenty of sunlight and good drainage. Therefore, before planting rose seedlings, ensure that the chosen planting site has plenty of sunlight and does not accumulate water. If you are unsure about how to choose a location, consult a local gardening expert or refer to relevant articles online. Before planting rose seedlings, you need to prepare an appropriate hole for the roses. The diameter of the hole should be at least one inch wider than the root system of the rose. If you are planting multiple rose seedlings, it is best to space them about 3 to 4 feet apart, so they have enough room to grow. If you want your rose seedlings to reach their maximum growth height in the coming years, you can add some long-acting fertilizer when planting. Bury the rose seedling in the hole, with its roots level with the soil, and then gently press down the soil.

III. Pay Attention to Watering, Pruning, and Fertilizing
Rose seedlings need plenty of water. In the weeks after planting, they should be watered thoroughly every week. During this time, ensure the soil remains moist but not overly wet. When you start to see the rose seedlings bloom, you can reduce the watering frequency, but ensure the rose seedlings always maintain moderate moisture. To keep the rose seedlings growing and healthy, regularly prune and fertilize. During the rose's peak season, fertilize once a month, and no fertilization is needed during dormancy. Regular pruning stimulates the growth of new flower buds and helps control the size and shape of the plant. However, always use dry, sterile scissors for pruning.
