DD potted vs. bare root

The Lowes rose was also twice the size of the bare root when I put the Lowes in the ground. However, the bare root now makes the Lowes look like a shrimp. Near identical conditions for the two roses so it's just "interesting" right now. Daniel Hanna wrote: Interesting. Susan, what kind of soil did you plant the bare root in? Both of the beds were prepared at the same time - a good rich potting soil with some fertilizer(s) mixed in. I'm of the "dig a big hole in the clay, throw away the clay, and fill the hole with good soil" camp. I can't remember exactly what soil I used at the time as I have switched off brands when putting in different beds but the interesting part is that both beds were prepared at the same time and the soil mix came out of the same wheelbarrow. Only difference that I can think of is that the J&P bare root got a several week soak in a bucket with nutrients before it was planted where as I don't know what was done to the Lowes potted J&P to prepare it.
