@themediterraneangardener: How to plant bare root roses in 5 easy steps. Step 1: Rehydrate your rose Rehydrate your bare root rose in a bucket of water for a minimum of 2 hours prior to planting. Step 2: Dig the hole Dig a hole big enough for the rose's roots, approximately 16" wide by 16" deep (40x40cm). Break up the soil at the base of the hole with a fork, and add compost or well rotted manure. Step 3: Apply Mycorrhizal Fungi Remove the bare root rose from the bucket of water and whilst holding the rose over the planting hole, sprinkle the roots with Mycorrhizal Fungi for root development. Step 4: Position the rose in the hole Using a bamboo cane to help you measure down. Position the rose in the centre of the hole. The bottom of the stems should be 2" (5cm) below the top of the hole Step 5: Backfill and water Backfill around the roots of the rose, using the soil that was originally dug to make the hole. Then, lightly firm the soil around the rose with your foot. #rose #roses #pruning #planting #LearnOnTikTok
