PLANTING ROSES 
While you are planting, keep the rose bushes in 
a bucket of water and take them out only when 
ready to put in the soil. Dig the hole large enough 
to accommodate the roots without cramping them. 
Mound up soil slightly in the center of the hole 
and set roots slanting downward and outward. Fill 
in with soil two-thirds of the way and soak with 
a slow stream of water. After settling, add more 
soil and more water. When planted, the bud union 
should be just above the settled surface of the 
sqil Any growth starting from below the bud 
should be promptly removed to the root.
