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.
Drift Rose. Drift rose is the best new easy-care shrub rose since the fabulous Knock Out rose hit the scene-and it only grows 2 feet tall. Many people in South Florida have given up growing roses. Grafted roses hate the heat, the wet summers, the whole subtropical thing. And most involve a lot of work.
