Helpful Tips about Roses

Some roses you may purchase at your garden center or through mail order catalogs maybe packed in wood shavings without soil and are dormant plants also the upper growth of the Rose may be coated in wax. This keeps the plants from drying out when they are being stored for mail order or sale at your garden center. The wax is not harmful in any way and will break away from the plant during the normal growth of the Rose. The stalks on the Roses should be a healthy green in color and with a little weight to the plant; a Rose that seems unusually light and will break apart easily is most likely unhealthy and dried out.

If you purchased your Roses through a mail order catalog company, they should be shipped when climate conditions are favorable for your area. Discuss this when placing your order. If you go down to your area store for your purchase try to choose from their most recent shipment. Temperatures in the store may cause premature growth that may result in a poorly developed plant. Planting the Roses in the soil should be done as soon as possible if not they should be at a 40 degree temperature and kept moist by a covering of peat or wood shavings, should you need more then two weeks for planting consider planting them outdoors laying them down in a lightly dug trench placing soil over the roots and also the green stacks growth if conditions are dry. Careful selection at your area store and good communication with your mail order company will surly be beneficial for that summer Rose garden project.
