Soil preparation for planting potted roses should be as carefully done as when planting a dormant bare root plan. No mound need be made in the bottom of the hole, but you must keep the ball of earth firmly intact around the roots. Carefully remove the pot or container and gently lower the plant into the hole, with graft at least 1 below the surface of the ground. Fill in around the roots with prepared soil and water thoroughly. No mounding over the tops need be done on potted, started roses.
Roses require winter protection.

Carefully spread the roots of perennials and strawberries and plant only as deep as they were in the nursery. Watering Roots of newly-planted stock must not dry completely for extended periods of time, especially during the first growing season.
