PLANTING BARE ROOTED ROSE
The ideal time for planting bare root roses in Australia is June and July. Later planting is possible, depending upon climate, but generous watering will be necessary until the plants have taken root. The proposed rose bed should have been dug over many times prior to planting and brought to a good tilth, ready for the plants. A thorough cultivation at the time of planting is a bare minimum. Dig a hole large enough to take the roots, which should be placed down and outwards over a small mound at the bottom of the hole. A hole approximately 30cm wide by 25cm deep should be sufficient. Cover with soil and firm down moderately. Water in well. The bud graft or bud union should remain approximately 5 cm above soil level. Do not use fertilisers at planting time, as this may burn the roots. However, the addition of well rotted animal manure and a small amount of blood and bone well dug in is beneficial. Plant standards using the same method. However drive a sturdy stake into the hole before planting. Securely tie the standards to the stakes close to the bud graft, using a soft material such as nylon stocking or double sided velcro.
IT IS MOST IMPORTANT NOT TO LET THE ROOTS DRY OUT AT ANY STAGE OF PLANTING.
In most circumstances the graft or bud union of all bush roses should remain approximately 5cm above soil level. Water in well and firm, moderately.
DO NOT – use fowl manure or other quick soluble fertilisers at planting time.
DO NOT – replant into old soil where roses have been removed. Renew soil with fresh soil.
DO NOT – use weedicides or pre-emergence weedicides.
