<human>:  How to properly take care of rose bushes?
<bot>: 
1. Choose the right location for your rose bush. Make sure the spot is in full sun and has plenty of airflow.
2. Prepare the soil by removing weeds and other debris around the planting area. Then loosen the soil with a shovel or garden fork so that your rose bush has the space it needs to grow and spread its roots.
3. Plant the rose bush at the same depth as it was when it was in the container. Water the rose bush well after planting.
4. Regularly prune your rose bush to shape it and help it grow in a healthy way. Prune it during late winter or early spring, taking out any diseased, damaged, or weak stems.
5. Apply organic mulch around the base of the rose bush to help retain moisture and provide weed control.
6. Water your rose bush consistently throughout the growing season, making sure to soak the soil deeply.
7. Fertilize your rose bush according to the directions on the fertilizer package.
8. Watch for signs of pests or diseases and take appropriate control measures.
