Roses are generally very healthy plants and they live a long time if their health is maintained.
Always buy healthy plants and choose a sunny well drained position to plant them in. As they have a shallow fibrous root system, avoid planting near large trees which have shallow spreading roots. Providing good soil conditions will help ensure your roses stay healthy. Most roses will tolerate a wide variety of soil types, but prefer reasonable drainage. Adding gypsum to clay soils will help improve soil structure.
