Have you just bought a beautiful potted rose? Be careful! Without these essential steps, your rose bush risks dying... Hubert Fontaine reveals his professional techniques to guarantee a perfect transplant. From soaking the root ball to the crucial grafting point, discover all the secrets to transforming your rose bush into a true star of your garden! How to plant a container-grown rose bush in the ground: Hubert Fontaine's complete guide Hubert Fontaine, gardening expert and contributor to Rustica magazine, shares his best advice for successfully planting a potted rose bush. Whether you want to plant your rose bush in the ground or in a container, these professional techniques guarantee optimal growth. Before planting: essential checks First and foremost, check the health of your rose bush: no black spots or rust. Also, check the root ball to ensure the rose bush is ready to be transplanted or repotted. The expert emphasizes the importance of thoroughly soaking the root ball before planting until no more air bubbles escape. Ideal planting conditions Roses thrive in full sun or partial shade. Planting in a bed Prepare a planting hole 40 cm wide and deep in soil enriched with compost. Hubert recommends watering the bottom of the hole with 5 liters of water before planting. The crucial point: positioning the graft union The fatal mistake to avoid: burying the graft union. It should always be level with the soil surface. If it is buried too deep, the rootstock (dog rose) will outcompete your grafted rose. Post-planting care Create a watering basin and mulch generously with straw, hay, or pine bark to retain moisture. Water with an additional 2 to 3 liters of water after planting and add a special organic rose fertilizer. Planting a container-grown rose in a pot For potted roses, use a 40 cm (16 in) frost-resistant container with a mixture of 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 compost, and 1/3 potting soil. Grown in a pot, a rose is more susceptible to drought and aphids. Hubert Fontaine's tip: plant nasturtiums at the base of the rose. Aphids attack nasturtiums first, giving you time to react, and this flower is more sensitive to drought than your rose. Again, by observing your nasturtiums, you'll water your rose before it's too late! 0:00 Planting a container-grown rose in the ground or in a pot 0:19 Potted roses: the right steps before planting 2:13 Planting a potted rose in a flower bed 3:45 How to repot a rose correctly 5:59 Caring for a potted rose
