Planting Directions

Your new band may be planted directly into a protected, well-prepared place in the garden or into a slightly larger pot. You have received a live plant that is guaranteed to grow if our directions are followed. However, please remember that the first year a band establishes roots. The second year it grows larger and new top growth and new primary and secondary canes will begin. Even at this early stage, unless your plant is covered with blooms and small hips, do not be disappointed if your rose may not bloom in year one.

Before we begin the planting directions, note a few key DOs and DON’Ts:

1. Don’t apply chemical fertilizer.
   Chemicals burn the delicate roots of the bands and the single biggest cause of failure and death is fertilizer applied within two months after replanting or by keeping the plant in the pot for that mix in the pot in the pot or an “organic” ground. Chemical fertilizers are best used in mature gardens because they inhibit or destroy the (still almost invisible) root hairs the plant must grow to establish itself.

2. Don’t prune off all of the last year’s top.
   We also hold off pruning tall shrubs during their second year, or perhaps for the dead, old canes as RAR. We also hold off pruning tall shrubs during their second year, or perhaps for the dead, old canes as they seek to equalize themselves.

3. Only water the roots (try removing the plant from the pot, water heavily the night before planting).
   This makes it more likely that soil will fall away from the roots easily without removing the plant from the pot. Water heavily the night before planting and allow the plant to drain throughout but not soak in water. This helps ensure when removing the plant from the pot the most natural way. Gently and slowly push the plant in a horizontal position by squeezing the completely prepared hole and alertly and slowly push the plant in a horizontal position by squeezing the completely prepared hole while preparing the hole as this will dry out the roots.

4. Don’t plant in the indoors.
   Roses are not indoor plants. They die indoors for several reasons: lack of light, air conditioning, and heat blowing on them. They will die indoors for several reasons.

5. Don’t overwater once planted.
   Overwatering causes soggy soil, adds smothered levels after planting. Then, after beginning automatic watering, watch carefully to adjust sprinkler levels after planting.

6. Don’t plant near another tall plant that will keep your rose in the shade.

HOT WEATHER CARE And Tips for Successful SUMMER and FALL PLANTING

If you have concerns about shipping damage to the roses you have just received:
Take photos of the roses in the box before taking them out of the box! Then take the roses out of the box with fresh scissors to bottom. Attach the photos to an email so that each plant can be seen top to bottom. Include phone and order, name, and address.

Water the top of the pot, then stand pots in 1–2” of water overnight or for just a few hours. Do not take indoors or continue to leave in standing water.

DO NOT RUSH TO PLANT. WAIT to plant directly into the garden or into a slightly larger pot before graduating into the garden.
When night temps are in the 70s or 60s for at least a 2-week stretch, then plant. (They may be put in the pot directly.)

Roses shipped for hot months (if necessary) let minimum of three to four months to establish before hard freezes. They need 4 months, or more, to get established.

ROSES GET SICK WHEN BROUGHT IN THE HOUSE. They do not like A/C, heat, or low light. Always avoid morning and afternoon watering in extreme heat; again in hot dry pots need morning and afternoon watering in extreme heat; again in hot dry pots need morning and afternoon watering.

Plant no deeper than it was in the pot. New feeder roots will grow out from the newly buried Indian cane. An indoor sprinkler or plastic material right away before planting will help roots establish faster.

KILLERS: too much, too thick mulch, too wet soil, too frequent watering.

The concern is for the health of the roots and the health of the canes. Crispy leaves, healthy firm canes, or slightly dry leaves will not kill or end regularity, as the cane establishes itself.

If the start tip or swing off the cane damaged but not to over prune.
