With the required inherent cold hardiness or tolerance to extreme heat, certain rose bush varieties can survive exposure to temperatures ranging from -40°F to more than 100°F.
Roses need a soil that drains well but holds moisture long enough for the roots to absorb it. 1 A loam soil is ideal—too much clay and the roots can become waterlogged, but a sandy soil will drain before the roots can get a good drink.
Nitrogen, the first number on a bag of fertilizer, is the key nutrient for established roses. Using a higher rate of nitrogen and lower amounts of phosphorus and potassium are best. Examples of fertilizers to use are 27-3-3 or 25-5-5.
Most rose bushes need at least six to eight hours of sunlight each day to bloom and perform well. In shaded areas, roses tend to bloom less than roses in sunny sites, and they tend to become tall and spindly.
