Jennifer,
I agree with Joe. At the San Jose Heritage Rose Garden over
3500 varieties roses (including modern hybrid teas, old garden roses,
chinas and teas, bourbons, etc.) are planted in heavy clay with drip
irrigation. We do not amend the soil before planting but do put
down shredded tree clippings as a mulch. The plants do very
well. Drainage is critical.
Cheers,
Bracey
San Jose
-----Original Message-----Dear Friends, another question for the rose experts: would you advocate deep tilling before planting a new bed of new roses ? I don't mean new varieties. The soil is heavyish clay in Med. France.
