Planting your Roses
Written on May 6, 2009 – 5:54 pm | by Deepak Shrivastava
Dig the holes, laying some potting soil in the bottom. You may need some strong sticks and twine to support straying shoots. Leave the unpacking of the rose trees until you are ready to plant your roses. The air must not get to them as it will dry up the sap and weaken the plants.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dead tops off the shoots. Make sure you don’t pull off the tiny rootlets attached to the main roots.
Hold the plant upright and steady using a trowel to put the soil in.
Settle them in firmly
To avoid the rose trees from being blown about by the wind, it is necessary to firmly stamp down the soil to give them a chance to root.
Mulch them as a finish
It is a good idea to mulch your rose trees after planting. Make a pointed pile of manure round each tree. This will keep off the frost and an excess of rain.
Leave some room around the rose tree clear of mulch. Decaying can take place if mulch is too close to the plant. Mulch is a natural way to improve the soil.
