Dog rose tree is a hardy, beautiful shrub, which usually is very happy in all kinds of soil. The ideal season to plant dog rose in your garden is late fall, early spring and second year, dry weather. Its small size makes it perfect for small shrub gardens, stand alones or as wild hedges, if no pathways go near or through it due to its prickly thorns. It is a composite bract with fleshy pink petals covered by white hairs.

If you are considering planting a dog rose tree for a new garden or to remedy the one you have, you should be aware that this shrub likes full sunlight, but will tolerate partial shade. It is an evergreen perennial, which grows up to eight to ten feet high and spreads out to a width of between six and ten feet. It prefers a sunny location in full sun, though it does tolerate less sun in shaded areas. Because it does not grow rapidly, pruning must be done periodically, as in the case of an overgrowth.

If you are planting dog rose in your garden to replace a dead and dying tree or a diseased shrub which needs to be removed, there are certain things you need to know before you start. There are different varieties of growing roses, and there are different methods of planting them. You can plant them either directly into the garden where they are bought from the shop, or you can grow them from seed.

Before you get started, check the local ordinances in your community in order to see if you may need a permit. In most cases, the planting of any shrubs is a lot more regulated than the planting of a house plant. Local, county and state laws will dictate how and where you can plant shrubs in your yard. Some examples of plants that require the planting of a permit are trees, shrubs, rockery, fences, etc. If you will be planting a dog rose tree in your garden, there are certain things you need to know.

In spite of their size and number, dog climbing roses are generally easy to care for. The first thing you must do before planting is to prepare the area by clearing away the weeds and grass from the area so that there is nothing in the way of the roots. You can then prepare the soil for the plant by adding compost to it, and rake it well to make it loose and even. Then you can begin planting. Most gardeners find that planting time is about three to six weeks before the beginning of spring, but this depends on the climate of your particular area.

When you are planting dog roses, it is important to take the plant out of the ground as soon as it has been planted. The goal is to allow it to acclimate to its new location, so try not to put it under too much shade or water. Instead, wait for a bit of warm weather, and then try to dig it up again. Keep in mind that if you have a cell grown plants, they will need a bit of water, so monitor the soil closely and remove if necessary. If you are unsure how long they will take to acclimate, leave them in a separate location until you know.

When you are planting cell grown plants, the best thing to do is to dig the hole the same size as the root ball was. If you do not have a digging tool, then you can use a shovel to accomplish this. However, most people prefer the use of a digging tool for the same reason; it keeps everything uniform, which is so there are no surprises when the plant starts to grow.

When planting the rose hips, you want to start them about one foot from the ground. Do not put the plant straight into the ground until the roots have begun to grow. Once the roots are growing, it is time to place the dog rose into the hole. Plant the hips with a fork, and make sure the pruned part of the stem is pointing up. The rest of the stem should be pointing down. Then cover with mulch and continue to winter long.
