When to Plant Bare Root Roses
Plant bare root roses during their dormant period, typically between late fall and early spring, when the risk of frost has passed and the soil is workable.How to Plant Bare Root Roses
Soak the roots in water for at least an hour (but no more than 12 hours) just before planting. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the spread of the roots, set the plant so that the bud union is just above the soil line, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. If planting must be delayed, open the plastic bag your roses are in and cover the roots with damp newspaper to keep them moist. Partially close the plastic bag, and store in a cool, sheltered area away from sun and wind. Keep the newspaper/roots moist until you are ready to plant.For more information on how to grow roses, read our rose planting guide.
