Growing Instructions
Place planter in a full sun location. Empty about 50% of the growing medium bag into the pot. Firm and smooth the planting medium. Place the rose plant onto the soil, centering it and spreading the roots out. Add the remaining medium in and around the root stock. The bud union should remain about 1" above ground level. Water well, saturating the soil deeply. Make sure the nursery pot is able to drain. Soak soil every week until established and when rain fall is deficient. Sit back and let mother nature do its thing!
Care Tip
Plants in containers are above soil level and exposed to the elements which make them more prone to freeze damage during the winter than plants planted in the garden. Take extra precautions and overwinter the planter in a protected area (shed or garage) during freezing temperatures (best to provide a winter environment that is one zone hardier than your area). To overwinter: Water plants thoroughly and move borderline-hardy plants into a protected area to increase chance of survival. Because the plant is dormant, light isn't required. Check every few weeks to ensure the planting medium isn't dry. Water sparingly. Overwatering can cause the plants to come out of dormancy. Place planter back outside to restart its cycle when spring and warmer temperatures return! Pruning off an inch or so off the canes will help send a message to the rose that it is time to start growing once again.
