Plant

There are a wide range of growing environments. However, most customers are growing roses either inside a heated
greenhouse, directly outside in a mild environment, or in an unheated cold frame.
Whether your location is indoors or outside, it must have ample light from dawn to dusk, should have good air circulation, and the plant material should never be in standing water.

Feed

Feed with a liquid rose fertilizer, once in the spring and once in the summer.

Water

It is extremely important to keep the bare root plants from drying out during the entire planting operation. Roses prefer a thorough watering but do not want “wet
feet.” To reduce disease, avoid leaving foliage wet into the night. Roses do best when they dry down so they are
slightly moist before the next irrigation. It is important to make and execute irrigation decisions early in the day. You
want your foliage to be dry and your humidity to be as low as possible at the end of the day.

Prune

Prior to planting, prune the canes of bare root liners to 6” above the bud union for two year roses, or 4½–5” for one
year plants. This pruning will encourage a more uniform break and a better finished product. Root pruning is not
recommended, unless the roots are too big for the container, in which case, trim only the minimum and leave as many
fibrous roots as possible.

Exposure

Do not expose plants to extreme cold (below 22 degrees F) during planting and spacing. Full Sun
