Planting a rose tree

How and when to plant a rose tree? It varies according to whether you buy it in a container or bare root.

When to plant a rose?


Containerized roses can be planted almost all year round, but for bare-root roses, the best time is in autumn.

In any case, avoid periods of frost.

How to plant a rose tree?


Dig a hole at least one and a half times wider than the root ball or the roots to put in it. The root ball must be comfortable in the hole. The roots need loose soil around them to grow properly.

Shorten the roots a little in the case of bare root roses, and prune them. Spread the roots over the entire hole.

Place well-decomposed manure in the bottom of the hole and place your rose in the center with the graft point at ground level.

Fill the hole with garden soil (roses like heavy soil so there is no need to add potting soil) well loosened so that it penetrates well between the roots. Pack the soil to bring it in contact with the roots and form a bowl.

Water abundantly after planting and bring water afterwards, especially during the dry season.

How to plant a climbing rose?


Move your rose bush about 20 cm away from its support and place the roots on the opposite side of the support.
