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.
It is too late this year for safe planting.
If the rose is in a pot, leave in that, but keep it protected from the
pot freezing. If it is is bare-rooted, then heel the plant into a border
till planting time in the spring.
Totally disagree.
