- The crown of the rose (where the branches grow from) should be level with or slightly above the ground level.
- Slice up the side of the bag with the kife and gently remove the bag from the hole.
- Fill in the hole, firm the soil down and water well.
- With sandy soils that lose moisture quickly, we recommend you create a moate around the base of the rose that will puddle the water around the rootball where it is needed and not run off else where. Once the roses has established the moat can be smoothed out.
