Planning Your Garden. I 'm sure that you know that roses love sunlight, at least six hours a day. With this in mind, plan where you want to put your rose bed. Design a bed that will highlight your roses, either a raised bed or a ground level one. Make it a focal point in your garden, either in the front of the house or along the side, or in the rear of your home.
