Step 1: Dig a planting hole Make a planting hole of at least 50x50 cm.

Step 2: Improve the Soil Fill the hole with rose or garden soil, preferably organic, to maintain healthy soil life.

Step 3: Remove the Rose from the Pot Cut the pot open on both sides to the bottom and carefully remove the rose, root ball and all, from the pot.

Step 4: Plant the Rose Place the rose in the planting hole and fill with soil. Press the soil firmly.

Step 5: Water Give the rose plenty of water and repeat this regularly during dry periods, except when it freezes.
