E xperienced rosanans plant their Roses in the fall, and for many good reasons: 
First, and most important, because at that time you get the plants freshly dug from 
the fields and they go into your garden with all the vitality they have been storing up 
for over two years. 
The reason for fall planting is that the plants start growing as soon as the frost is out 
of the ground, and all season they will be way ahead of plants set out in the spring. 
Also, in fall planting you get first choice of both plants and varieties. 
In planting Roses in the fall, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bend 
ing, put a mound of clean earth in the center of the hole, spread out the roots, and set the plant 
on the mound (in this position the roots are spread out and slightly down). Fill in with clean 
earth and tramp solidly as the hole is filled; when nearly full pour in several quarts of water, 
allow it to drain away, then finish filling in around the plant and immediately hill up with clean 
earth, peat moss, ashes, or sand, at least 8 inches high. This keeps sun and wind off the canes 
and the plant is protected for the winter. 
Dig the hole just deep enough and set the plant so that when the hills are removed in the spring the 
bud (knob where the plant was budded) is just covered. 
We ship from October 10 until the ground freezes, and you can safely plant as late as the soil is workable.
