I have ordered some new roses both HT & floribunda but wont have the ground
prepared in time so thought I might pot up the (bare rooted) plants when
they arrive and plant them in the spring when hopefully the ground will be
ready.
I thought 9" - 10" pots using JI 3 would do but would appreciate any
comments on procedure etc.

Any reason you couldn't dig a trench and heel them in until you're ready to
plant them?
