Roses only need lime if the soil they are planted in is too acidic. Roses grow best in soil that displays pH levels of between 5.5 to 7.0. If levels are lower then this amount, adding lime can help boost the pH.

How often should you put limestone in your sandy soil for vegetable gardening?
You should lime your soil based on a soil test. If you send a soil sample to a soil test lab and ask for a "lime requirement," they will perform two tests: 1. pH 2. buffer pH The pH will tell you whether you need lime, the buffer pH will tell you how much lime you need if your pH is off. Sandy soils generally require less lime than soils higher in clay. When you lime your soil according to the lime requirement from the test lab, it is usually sufficient for 3 to 5 years. Limestone is only slightly soluble in water, so it takes several years to completely dissolve.
