When
to Plant Bare Root Roses |
 |
| |
When to plant a bareroot rose is the first question, and perhaps
the easiest. Bareroot roses are only available from late Fall through
the Winter months... this time frame can be extended with the use of
cold storage, but the general rule of thumb is to plant after the last
hard frost in your area. If you need help determining this date, you can check
with your local  Rose
Society or
your local garden center. Planting late in the spring may make your new roses
susceptible to drying out.
O.K. Your're ready to go! Hold on a sec... roses like soils
that drain well, that have substance, (like clay, not too much) and
neutral or slightly acid soils. Roses grow best in soil with a ph of 6.0 to 6.5 (or slightly acid). Now out West, we don't have too many
problems with acidic soils, but from parts of the Midwest to the East
Coast this is a problem. So check with your local down and
dirty!
