You are going to learn how to care for roses. Listen and then paraphrase the important information. Paraphrasing is a strategy to reduce a large amount of information into the most important parts. List a list.
Caring for roses is easier than most think. First, roses should be planted in a sunny spot with good drainage. For the best flowers, rose bushes should be fertilized. The soil should be kept moist by evenly watering the plant. If caring for an established rose bush, it should be pruned early in the spring in order to produce the best roses later in the season. Finally, always watch for diseases on the roses such as black sots and powdery mildew and treat appropriately if found. Following these steps will result in beautiful roses!
