Rich, well-draining soil is crucial. Amend with organic matter to create the perfect bed for roses.

Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root spread of your rose, typically about 18 inches wide.
7
Remove roses gently from containers, tease out the roots slightly, and plant at the same depth they were in the pot.

Water your newly planted roses well to settle the soil around the roots and help with shock.

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around roses to help retain moisture and control weeds.

Regular watering, fertilizing, and pruning will keep your roses healthy and blooming beautifully.
