Steps to Growing a Successful Rose
Love and Peace
Preparation
Immediately unpack roses upon arrival. Trim the roots. Trim off half an inch of the root tips. Soak. It’s important to keep the roses moist. Immerse the whole plant overnight in water, this will rehydrate the rose before planting. Some varieties might show some signs of dormant storage conditions in the form of black areas on the canes. This is normal and will disappear once the rose is planted and it breaks dormancy.

Planting
Choose a sunny spot. Roses need at least 6 hours of sun a day. Choose a spot with sun and where air can circulate, drying leaves after a rain fall. Dig a hole. The hole should wide enough so the rose can go in without its roots bent. It’s important to not go too deep, the graft (the bulge where the root meets the stock holding the canes) should be planted at ground level and just below for colder climates. Plant. Create a small mound to go under the rose. Place the rose into the hole on top of the mound and drape the roots around it. Fill in the hole. Carefully place soil on top of the roots and partially fill the rest of the hole. Add water to settle the soil around the roots and then add the rest of the soil.
Water thoroughly after the rose is fully planted. You can add mulch around the base but keep it at least 4 inches from the canes. Continue Watering. You are done the “hard” part but hydration is key to a successful rose. Continue to ensure your rose is well watered, if it’s rain or you with a hose, your rose will thank you! Your rose will start breaking dormancy now and new foliage will start got grow. Enjoy the color, elegance and the fragrance.

Additional Tips
If planting into containers use at least a 3 gallons size, be sure there is good drainage in the bottom. The roses will dry out quicker so it’s helpful to have a watering schedule.
For soil we recommend a mixture of 50% loamy soil, 25% growers mix and 25% composted manure, add sand if your soil does not drain well.
