Farm Questions
Question: What type of
soil should roses be planted l '
in?
Answer: In many cases
the home gardener has
only a limited area of grou
nd available. For that rea
son, it may not be possible
to select an ideal location
for the rose garden, but if
possible a place should be
selected where the soil is
well drained and where
the plants will be exposed
to full sunlight for at least
the greater part of the day.
The best soil for the roses
is a rich clay loam
