roses

Question

I received a rose bush in a plant pot in the Summer. Is it ok to transplant into my rose bed now( Sept) or can I leave it till next Spring?

Answer 1

If you live in a region that has cold winters, a rose will not survive in a pot. If you can't plant it this fall, dig a hole as deep as your pot and leave the plant, pot and all, in the hole until early spring. Mulch to a 3-4 inch depth.
