Planting roses

[MrsER]

Took out old roses in the spring.

Can I plant new tea roses in the same place now? How would I need to prepare the ground?

Thanks

Dig over well ...
Dig in plenty of organic matter ...
Bit of slow release fertilizer.

Rose soil gets sick after a few years, so I would suggest changing the soil for some John Innes Rose soil, and be sure to plant with roots spread out and no deeper than it was planted oridginally, and leave a soil saucer shaped indenture around the base for watering.

I wouldn't risk it unless I could do a complete soil change in the area which would be expensive or heavy work... depends whether you buy in fresh soil or move it from elsewhere in the garden. I'd probably grow some short lived perennials there for a couple of years improving the soil as much as possible then retry the roses as the perennials start to fadeaway. things like aquilegias, erigerons, and rudbeckias would be good and intersperse them with summer bulbs and biennuals like sweet rocket and honesty
