About two years ago I dug up a diseased rose bush and I would like to know if I can now plant a new rose on the same spot. At the moment I have lavender growing in the space, but I really would prefer a rose.

Thankyou, Pam.

Pam, whatever the desease was that attacked your rose bush I would say that you can replant with a new one. Just be sure that any debriss from the old rose in the form of roots leaves or stems are removed from the soil (I expect there won't be any after the time laps), and incorporate some well decayed organic matter and a general fertilizer at planting time.

you cant plant a rose in the same spot as another unless you remove enough soil to leave a 3x3 foot hole. Half fill the new hole with good well rotted manure, place in the rose and back fill with a good top soil mixed with manure.

Specific Replant Disease
Also called "sick soil syndrome," is not an inevitable outcome. When dealing with a single rose I would not be concerned.
Also,it has been two years since a rose was growing there.
I would say that the chance of contracting this malady is slight.

Checking up on the RHS site this article expands on the situation, and the reccommendation is not to plant within the root run of the previouse rose. However, It is a chance I would take when it concerns a single rose after a period of two years. If you want to be absolutely safe, yes, change the soil.
