If you know your way around a garden, pick a few plants that you want to grow. Roses can really spruce up a dull yard, so if you’re a pro, keeping a rose bush alive should be easy. If you choose new roses, you’ll want to put them in a large bucket and soak the pot in water prior to planting. For beautiful roses season after season, you’ll need to consistently prune them because it aerates the base of the plant and gives it the sunlight it needs, which helps prevent mildew and disease.
