Planting roses
1) Dig a hole, slightly larger than the pot size or root system of your
rose bush.
2) Add a small handful of bonemeal to the planting hole. Spade in
some compost or peatmoss to loosen the soil. Mix the soil you
took out of the hole with more compost or peat moss.
3) Remove the rose from the pot. Carefully place in the hole and
shovel the extra soil around the new plant. Plant the rose with
the crown slightly deeper than the original soil. The crown or bud
union should be about 1 inch under the soil
4) Gently firm the rose into its new home and water well.
5) Stand back and watch it grow!
