- Dig a hole for planting a rose bush measuring 60×60 cm. Put compost, nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer and bone meal in the hole.
- Cut the roots of the plant by two centimeters, and remove the damaged ones.
- Pour some soil over the compost, plant the rose bush, spread out the roots and fill the hole with soil.Tamp the soil well around the seedling and water. Make sure that the basal node is 2 cm above the ground level.
- Mulch the earth around the seedling to preserve moisture and prevent the sun from baking. Water the rose bushes once every three days for four weeks. Then as needed. After two or three months, the first buds of rose flowers may appear.
