I am writting a science paper on what soil roses grow best in and don't have a clue!

What soil do roses grow best in ?
You will find species %26amp; varieties of rosaceae suitable to almost every type of soil so are you picking a certain species or variety?


Just about all roses perform best in a sunny position in a moisture retentive soil and clay soil tends to give best results if not strongly acidic. If it was strongly acidic - application of lime or organic matter would help.


Soil generally needs a good amount of well rotted organic matter applied to it routinely for roses.


Suggest checking out an RHS dictionary or contacting a specialist rose centre for detailed info for specific roseaceae species though. Are you just limiting this paper to soil as if you have good soil on a poor exposed site you could be onto a looser too.
Reply:I will base my main answer to you soley on observation of rose bushes over the years. The best type of soil seems to be a clay-based one that has had organic elements worked into it, like sphagnum moss. Sandy soils tend not to be the best soils for growing roses -- and I am assuming here you mean tea roses. Any kind of compacted soil that has not been amended someway is not good for growing roses.





Here is a good site you might use as a source:

Reply:Roses like plenty of manure added to the soil. Roses grow in most soils and are hardy, but to get the best results it must have plenty of organic matter added
