Rose bushes can be planted anytime but the most optimal time is in the spring after the last frost or in the fall before the first frost.
If you plant your rose bushes early enough in the fall it will give the roots time to establish before they go dormant for the winter.
Rose bushes should not be planted when the ground is frozen, during a drought or when the ground is water logged.
When planting rose bushes the planting hole needs to be deep and wide enough for the plants roots and have good drainage to keep the soil from being too wet.
Fill the hole partially with soil mixture and a slow release fertilizer. Water this mixture thoroughly then use the remaining soil to fill the hole.
If you plant several rose bushes ensure they are at least 3 feet apart to give them enough room to grow as they mature.
Make sure to fertilize your rose bushes regularly and keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season.
