Steps for planting:
First, Monty digs a deep hole but doesn’t add any compost to that hole. If you place a lot of nutrient-rich compost into the planting hole, the roots of the plant will not want to extend past that hole. This means you’ll essentially end up with a “pot-bound” plant. Instead, add compost after planting to the surface of the soil, which will eventually seep down into the native soil.

Next, Monty examines the bareroot rose and identifies where the rootstock, graft, and topstock are all located. This will determine exactly how deeply the rose will be planted.

Monty then applies a dusting of mycorrhizal fungi, which will colonize the rose roots and form a biological link between the roots and the soil. He places the rose in the planting hole and backfills around it with the native soil.

Finally, Monty cuts the rose back. Pruning immediately after planting helps stimulate vigorous new growth, which in turn stimulates more root growth and leads to a healthier plant. Give your newly planted rose a good drink, and be sure to monitor the weather conditions to be sure it stays evenly moist throughout the first full growing season.
