Setting up the Grow Room For Roses

One of the first considerations for your roses will be lighting. During the non-blooming stage, you’ll want to use a high intensity bulb that provides an abundance of blue spectrum light, such as a Metal Halide bulb. When your roses move into the flowering stage, they will need bulbs that provide a red spectrum, such as High Pressure Sodium.  Try the new LED grow lights for even better results.

The rest of the grow room will need to be set up the same way you would for growing most other flowers or vegetables. You’ll want to provide proper temperatures, quality nutrient solutions and ventilation. Also, if you want to increase productivity, increase the amount of CO2 in your grow room. This will help stimulate more photosynthesis activity which provides more growing power.

As Big Mike says, roses are a hydroponics crop that can win you a ton of praise and provide hours of gardening enjoyment. And they are not difficult to raise.
