Below is the process of an old gardener transforming a lawn into a rose garden. Let's take a look at how it was done. You should choose different rose varieties according to your local climate conditions.

A beautiful and charming rose garden cannot be created in just a day or two; it takes a fairly long time to transform.

In the small garden above, on the left side some relatively original rose varieties are planted, somewhat similar to wild roses, while on the right side some blue-purple salvia is grown, and on the wall some climbing roses are paired in.

At first, this garden only had a lawn laid out, and it looked very monotonous. Apart from a large patch of small lawn, some privet was also planted on the side as a hedge. Now the plan is to transform it into a rose garden.

At the entrance of the lawn, an arch was set up, and some climbing shrub roses were planted on it. However, transforming it into a rose garden will also bring a lot of troubles, especially in the hot and humid summer, when it is particularly prone to pests and diseases and needs regular care, otherwise once pests and diseases break out it will be very difficult to deal with.

The yellow rose planted on the arch is a climbing rose, 'Autumn Sunset' is a climbing rose variety belonging to the Rosaceae family, and its flower color is very beautiful.

The flowering rose covering the entire pergola above belongs to the climbing type 'New Dawn', also called 'Pink Cloud', and it is a very old large-flowered climbing rose.

When transforming a lawn into a rose garden, the first trouble you encounter is the soil. The original soil was mixed with a lot of small stones, and removing them is very troublesome. Moreover, the soil pH is weakly alkaline, so it also needs proper improvement.

Here, compost soil is directly chosen, mixed with some peat soil. Of course, some decomposed manure needs to be added, and it is even necessary to properly spread some fallen leaves and decomposed wood chips as mulch.

You need to check the acidity and alkalinity of the soil to avoid the soil being too alkaline. You can add some sphagnum moss or coarse sand to improve the soil.

In each garden, some other flowering plants can also be paired in, such as the pink foxgloves above, and the purple salvia.

The golden-yellow rose above is the most common Austin rose, and the variety name is 'Jude the Obscure'. It is a shrub rose with excellent ornamental value. Beside it, some yellow yarrow and purple mint are also paired in, forming a very classic cottage garden.

Before planting roses, you need to communicate more with some experienced old gardeners, properly improve the soil in the garden, prepare more organic fertilizer, and avoid using too much chemical fertilizer.

The planting location should maintain ventilation and light transmission, and you should also be very attentive to preventing pests and diseases. Generally, it is necessary to spray fungicide once every two weeks to avoid infection by fungal diseases and also to prevent pest outbreaks.

The location where roses are cared for should maintain more than 6 hours of direct sunlight every day, and good air circulation must be maintained. This can avoid various fungal diseases. Some lattice trellises for climbing can be set up nearby to keep the bottom of the rose branches and leaves ventilated and exposed to light.

Of course, you can also choose some rose varieties with relatively strong resistance to pests and diseases, such as the common 'Marvin Hills', 'Red Dragon', 'Parade', 'Rouletii' and so on.

If you like floribunda roses but worry that you cannot grow these beautiful roses well, then you can choose 'Duc d'Henri', this rose is pink, has a charming delicate fragrance, and is also a very easy-to-grow rose variety that even beginners cannot kill.
