Default Moving Roses

Plant it in the new hole with *no* fertilizer.

The rose must have some type of phoshate fertilizer in the hole. It could
be rock phospate or super phosphate added per the instructions on the label
whatever you nirmally use. Phosphate has to be added to the soil around the
roots or it will never get there as it does not readily move through the
soil like N does. If applied to the surface it will stay there chemically
bound to the soil where it is applied.
