For the USDA zones 9 – 11 and other subtropical and tropical parts, rose can be planted from any time between fall (autumn) to winter.
If you have bought bare root roses you should keep their roots submerged for an hour or two in the water, making them absorb the moisture, this will make them easier to adopt in a new place.
Then put on damp root ball of your rose plant into the pot. While planting, ensure that rose placed in soil just deep as it used to grow in the previous pot.
Water well the freshly planted roses and for a few days place them in a sheltered place that receives only a few hours of morning sun, later on, move the containers to the position that is sufficiently bright and receives the sun at least for 7 hours as no roses, in the long run, can tolerate shade.
Throughout the season, roses in containers should be watered deeply and moderately because they do not tolerate desiccation.
After about 2 to 3 weeks of planting, roses are ready to be fertilized. One thing you should know that roses are heavy feeders. Fertilize roses using the special rose mix fertilizer, which you can buy from a garden center, you can also fertilize them with any all-purpose fertilizer. Application of manure and compost also helps the rose plants.

If you want to grow roses on South facing balcony, protect them from afternoon sun (especially in warm climates)
Every spring or in the beginning of growing season replace the potting soil or at least replace the top layer with compost or manure.
Always cut the faded flowers, this stimulates the growth of new buds.

#红双喜 ( Double Delight Rose)是一种混合型香水月季，创建于1977年。1985年被世界玫瑰联合会(The World Federation of Rose Societies Hall)收录。
红双喜是一个全球范围内最著名和最广泛种植月季名品。特点是鲜亮的樱桃红外层花瓣和乳白色的心，花朵大，通常是独花，也有时会两个和三个一起。其香味浓郁，花色由白到红，逐天变化，初开时花瓣乳白色，仅在瓣边有一点点红覆轮，随着花朵开放，其红色逐渐浸漫、扩大。至花朵开足时，其红色几乎覆盖全花，使整朵月季花变得更加娇艳、热烈，而花香也达到了最浓郁的高度!
花卉红色的着色是大自然紫外线的天然色素在花瓣的体现。因为天气原因的颜色变化始终是不断变化的。这意味着，没有任何两个花朵的颜色是一样的。
其特征是：植株健壮，单朵或群花，花朵大，花型高雅优美，花色众多、鲜艳明快，具有芳香气味，观赏性强。
生长习性：适应性强，耐寒耐旱，对土壤要求不严，但以富含有机质、排水良好的微带酸性沙壤土最好。具有良好的抗病性。喜光，但过多强光直射又对花蕾发育不利，花瓣易焦祜，喜温暖，一般气温在22--25℃最为适宜，夏季高温对开花不利。增长到平均高度为90-150厘米米，可蔓延60-90厘米。
红双喜喜日照充足，空气流通，排水良好而避风的环境，盛夏需适当遮荫。多数品种最适温度白昼15～26℃夜间10～15℃。较耐寒，冬季气温低于5℃即进入休眠。如夏季高温持续30℃以上，则多数品种开花减少，品质降低，进入半休状态。一般品种可耐15℃低温。要求富含有机质、肥沃、疏松之微酸性土壤，但对土壤的适应范围较宽。空气相对湿度宜75%～80%，但稍干、稍湿也可。有连续开花的特性。
