Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and new to gardening! I wonder if you could offer
some advice?

I have just received a hybrid tea rose. I'm in the East Midlands and I'm
wondering whether it is okay to plant it at this time of year? Should I
start preparing the soil now to plant the rose in a few weeks time in
mid-January?

Or should I wait until March-April? If I need to wait until spring what
should I do to take care of the plant in the meantime - how and where
should I store it?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.




You don't say if it bare rooted or in a pot. If potted it does not
matter. If bare rooted and you allow the roots to dry out it will not
bode well. If you cannot plant it now because the ground is not prepared
just heal it into a spare spot, it will be ok then for a few weeks. It
is fine to plant now.
