Keep the compost mounded up for about a month or until new growth starts peeking through the mulch. Then *carefully* pull the mulch back trying to avoid damaging the new growth. At that time, you can make a "doughnut" of mulch around the rose that will help keep moisture in as well. |

Thanks for the tip. The planting instructions didn't advise it but I did it (especially since I'll be gone for a few days). Thanks for the help Zemmy! |

Did you catch that and actually use mulch (I hope)?? I'm afraid that compost will be too heavy and not allow air to flow. If you have the chance, pull the compost back and substitute for mulch as soon as you can. |

I was hoping that you weren't misled. Compost would have probably choked it to death... |
