Veranda box rose cultivation guide
An ideal veranda box for roses features a central planting with climbing and drooping annuals filling the rest. The box is 15 inches wide by ten inches deep and as long as needed with drainage via bottom holes and broken crockery. Roses require rich firm soil with clay and manure and should be planted six inches apart for teas or twelve for hybrids, then watered when soil dries. In fall lift roses with soil and store in a well drained corner buried in strowy manure. Next spring cut back and replant with fresh soil, disturbing roots minimally.
