Avoid competition from roots of other plants. Roses need loose, well-drained, well-aerated soil that contains plenty of organic matter. A raised bed can provide roses with ideal soil conditions. You can plant bare root roses in late fall, late winter or early spring in South Carolina. Container-grown plants can be planted later in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the roots to spread out in their natural position. Prune any damaged roots and spread the roots down around a mound of soil in the hole. Set the plant so that the graft union is just above the soil level.
Rosebushes can be trimmed during the summer to control their size. Heavy pruning of rosebushes is best done when they are dormant, but if you trim a rose bush correctly in the summer, you can increase its late-season bloom.The best time for summer pruning is after a flush of blooms. Summer rosebush trimming consists of deadheading, removing dead wood, and shaping the bush.ater the rose thoroughly in the morning of the day you plan the shrub trimming to reduce heat stress on the rose. Pour 2 to 3 gallons of water on a weekly basis for deep watering and water lightly two to three times during the week as the topsoil dries out. .
