Although roses will adapt themselves to most conditions of soil, climate, and environment, they will not give their best results unless their needs are met in some degree. In any rose garden there are certain general requirements, such as availability of water, adequate exposure to sun, and avoidance of long narrow funnels for draughts between buildings, fences, or hedges. Further, the roses must be kept away from hungry surface-rooting trees, among the worst of which are wattles (acacias) and privet (ligustrum). If a wind-break is considered advisable, deep-rooting trees are to be
preferred.
