Both types of roses need to be planted in soil to grow roots, but the subsequent cultivation methods are very different. Heres what you need to know about bare root roses and potted roses:
   • Bare root rose. When you get bare root roses you will notice that bare root roses do not have blooms, but that is not a bad thing. Bare-root roses bloom late, which means the rose spends its energy growing roots instead of preparing flowers. You can plant bare-root roses well in advance of planting season, as early as six weeks before but no later than two weeks after the next spring frost in your area. If you plant your roses at the right time and use the correct methods of nurturing your roses, bare root roses will grow faster than potted roses.

If the ground is still wet after a few hours, your roses will be susceptible to root rot. If this is the case, you should consider planting your roses in a raised bed.
   • Make sure your planting soil is not too clayey and does not have a lot of grit in the soil. Add some organic fertilizer to the soil, such as dehydrated cow manure, shredded bark or other materials to help the soil reach the right consistency.
   • Don’t plant your roses close to trees or shrubs. They will compete for nutrients, water, and light, and no plant will grow well.
   • The land should be kept properly moist and maintain a pH between 6.5 and 7.
