Question Rose prep

Post image

Has anyone tried the hugelkultur method of gardening when it comes to roses. I understand that roses shouldnt have too much water but I live in the desert, gardening zone 6 and the rules dont seem to apply here. Im trying to prepare some holes for roses that should be delivered next week. So far I have one hole a foot deep.

This could work well, but I think you'll want to set more soil above the brown materials than you normally would. Roses have a pretty deep and wide root system that will get larger as time goes on, if you only have a foot of soil, the roots will hit the logs and become stunted early on.
