Materials
Needed
roses
shovel
cane
fertilizer
watering can
or garden hose
mycorrhizal
fungi
gardening
gloves
Prepare the
Location
Dig a
bucketful of organic matter into your proposed planting area. Then dig a hole a
little deeper and twice the diameter of the container in which your rose is
growing.
Check Depth
of the Hole
Place the
rose, in its pot, into the hole. Using a cane, ensure the graft union (swelling
at base of the stems) will be below the surface, or slightly above in heavy
soil. Add fertilizer to the excavated soil.
Water the
Rose
Water the
rose and leave to drain before removing from its pot. Apply mycorrhizal fungi
to the base of the hole according to the directions—this will aid root growth.
Place Rose
in the Hole
Wearing
gloves, place the rose in the hole. Backfill around the root ball with the
excavated soil, and firm in gently around the stems with your hands. Water in
well.
