Sorry it took so long to get back. I found a large box of roses at the front door. They were own root bare root Took all day to get them planted. Just wanted to say make sure you plant your graft at least 4 inches under ground. Can be a bit of a trick sometimes. But you can plant it at an angle so that the branches are pointed up. Then just point end ends of the roots down. As others have said trim off the brown tips before planting. Even if your rose ends up under ground it will be fine as it will not survive winter if the graft is not buried. Mine that came today had a lot of damage to the canes that had to be trimmed off. So by the time they were planted some only stuck out of the ground a inch. With some of the canes (branches) totally buried. Best wishes for a happy rose season.

If a nursery sells bare roots at this time, then I would plant them and just make sure their roots are kept damp. The weather in my part of the PNW is still cool enough, as there is no hot sun

Cant wait to see what they look like in summer! And i appreciated the music in he background. Love love love the Blue Danube Waltz!

I had that happen last year and the roses were fine!
