question about roots when planting a rose in container - July 7th, 2005 at 02:47 AM
Hi all!
I just purchased 7 new rose plants in the 2-gallon plastic containers. I have already prepared the soil and am ready to transplant them and would like to know how much of the existing soil should I loosen up from the roots before putting them in the ground? I don't want to do any damage to them, but should I gently shake any loose soil off or should I shake (for lack of a better word) the majority of the soil off or ???? I'm very, very, very new at this and don't want to hurt the plants at all. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!
