Prepare roses for planting
Before you plant your bare-root roses in spring, you should thoroughly prepare both the planting site and the plants themselves. Remember that bare-root specimens are dormant and should therefore be put in the garden as early as possible - i.e. before the first budding.
- The soil at the planting site is dug deep,
- so that the earth is loosened vigorously at this point.
- Put the plants in a bucket of water for several hours, or better overnight.
- So they can soak themselves up with water
- and the risk of drying up after planting is reduced.
- If the planting has not yet been carried out by the nursery,
- This is up to you now. Before planting, roots and parts of the plant above ground are cut back.
- When planted in the spring Cut roses Back the shoots to within six inches.
After the necessary preparations have been made, you can now have the rose on a frost-free day - the ground must not be frozen! - plant.
- Dig a sufficiently large planting hole.
- The roots should have enough space in all directions and should not be squeezed.
- Fill in the excavation, which may have been enriched with compost or humus soil
- and carefully tread on the earth.
- Water the rose carefully.
- Larger copies or Tree roses should also be tied to a plant stick.
