Layout and preparation of Beds

• The plan of rose garden and design of the beds should be simple and formal or informal.
• Rose beds may be of various designs, depending upon the preference of the grower.
• However rectangular beds are advantageous for maintenance.
• The width of the bed should be such that operations like weeding, hoeing forking, cutting of flowers, etc. can be done from both the sides of the bed without stepping in the bed.
• The width should be 1.2-1.6 m and the length depends on the size of the garden, preferably not exceeding 6m each.
