When you first start gardening roses, you will have to choose what type of rose you wish to plant, and no, I’m not talking about the color. You will have to choose between bare-root, prepackaged, or container-grown roses. Bare-root roses are sold in the winter and early spring. They should be planted as soon as the frosts are over and the ground is warm and workable. Pre-packaged roses are bare-root plants that are sold in a bag or box with something around the roots to retain moisture, such as sawdust. Container-grown roses are grown; you guessed it, in containers. They will be either budding or already in bloom when they become available in the early spring.
Gardening roses is not that much different than any other type of plant. The most important thing, as always, is good, healthy soil and a prime planting area. It doesn’t matter whether your roses are bare-root or you’re planting container roses, the planting methods are the same as any other shrub. Make sure the spot you choose has good drainage, gets plenty of sunlight, and will not overcrowd your other roses.
Before planting, any dead leaves, thinned or decayed shoots need to be cut off. Any damaged or very long roots also need to be trimmed. Soak bare-root roses in water for about 10-12 hours to restore moisture before planting. Always water the soil before planting as well. Make sure the hole you have dug is large enough for the root growth of the rose. Also it is a good idea to use compost or mulch. After all, Roses like extra nutrients just like any other plant.

Every area is different as you know. I live in Canada so different rules apply. Your best bet is to go to a nursery and ask about growing roses in your area.
It’s worth it, they are gorgeous.

You will find that a large variety of roses will grow there. Hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas.
Roses love 5-6 hours of sunlight daily and while they don’t have to have really moist soil, keeping them deeply watered a couple of days in the week is better than light watering daily.
Feed them after each flowering to get repeat flowering.
Good soil is key to any garden – so add compost and mulch well. Use aged cow manure.
Neem oil is good for control of blackspot.
Roses are easy to grow and care for – even the pruning isn’t too difficult as roses are very forgiving of both neglect and bad pruning.
Look around your neighborhood and see waht is growing there – that will give you an idea – and also consult your local nursery – they will know what are the best for you region and climate.
If you near Phoenix – there is a good rose society there – always with good ideas and willingness to help
