Easy Planting

In the Ground:

1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the container the roses came in.
2. Remove the plant from the container.
3. Roughen the sides and bottom of the root ball.
4. Center the plant in the hole, keeping the plant vertical.
5. Top of root ball should be level with the surrounding soil surface. This may require adding back some soil.
6. Fill in around the roots with soil, and then firmly tamp down.
7. Water your plant thoroughly. Refill with soil if necessary, then water again.
8. Add 2-3 inches of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping away from the plant stem.
9. Water as needed to maintain evenly moist soil.
