Success in the garden starts with how you get your plants into the ground, but much of the traditional advice is actually counterproductive. In this video, we break down the essential steps for planting roses, from selecting a site with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight to managing the specific needs of bare root versus potted varieties. You will learn why digging a hole that is too deep can cause your plant to settle and sink over time, and why common practices like adding bone meal, eggshells, or coffee grounds to the planting hole are best avoided in favor of a simpler, evidence-based approach. We also cover the critical differences in planting depths for grafted and own-root roses, ensuring your plants are set up to handle your local climate and thrive for years to share.
