Rose Planting

There are a few basic points to note when transplanting a rose into your garden.

• Plant the rose so that the point at which the stems branch out is at soil level. Generally, this will be deeper than it is in the pot.
• Leave a slight dip down to the rose. This helps to keep the soil moist on hot summer days. You can also use the dip to put dead tree leaves or straw in when winter draws near, this will give the roots a little extra protection throughout the freeze.
• Use Root Booster, or something similar, to help the rose establish it's roots quickly.
• If your soil is not good quality black dirt, then improve your soil before transplanting.
