Information on rose-bush-care-maintenance. Pruning, fertilizing and watering correctly will produce beautiful rosebushes with a surplus of flowers. Roses love drainage and special stuff in the soil like epsom salt and peat moss will make huge flowers. The easiest way to have great roses without worrying about bugs is to apply a systemic rose food fertilizer. No aphid infestations if you do this. I've seen lots of rose gardens where the rose food was in little piles around the base of the plants. You know like a tablespoon in 3 places about one foot away from the main stem. 
It is very important to trim the rose bush regularly. Keeping the old flowers trimmed off of the plant encourages the new growth to concentrate on the flowers. In the winter months it's a good idea to defoliate the plant and trim it back for a more compact shape. Depending of course on your climate. In marginal areas, mulch must be mounded around the base of the plant in winter to insulate the root ball and retain moisture in the soil. Sevier cold temperatures as well as dry cold weather will kill a rose bush.
