Where never to plant roses – 6 spots to avoid, with expert tips from rose-growing professionals

Pink and peach roses.

Everyone loves a rose, and you don't have to be a green-fingered expert to enjoy their beautiful blooms in your garden. Whether climbing, miniature, or something in between, there's a variety for everyone and every style of backyard. But before you get planting, there are some environmental factors that shouldn't be overlooked.

Finding the right planting spot is a key step for growing roses successfully, as looking after them will be so much easier if they're located somewhere suitable. Putting them in the wrong type of soil, in too little sunshine, or in too hot a climate can all cause problems, but such rose growing mistakes can be easily avoided with a bit of know-how.
