If you have a bare root plant, soak it in a bucket of
water before planting. For roses that are potted, you can water the pot thoroughly and let it sit until ready to plant.
PLANTING ROSES 4
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR Remove the rose from the pot. Dig a hole approximately 38cm deep and 45cm
wide. If planting bare root roses, form a small mound of soil in the center of the planting hole. If you live in a colder area, plant a bit deeper and consult with your local garden center.
Add a small handful of bonemeal to the planting
hole. Spade in some compost or peatmoss to loosen the soil. Mix the soil you took out of the hole with more compost or peat moss.

Carefully place in the hole and shovel the extra soil around the new plant. Plant the rose with the crown slightly deeper than the original soil. The crown or bud union should be about 2cm under the soil.
Gently firm the rose into its new
home and water well. Stand back and watch it grow. Source: www.rose.org
