For a rose, sandy loam soil with neutral acidity is preferable.

The sequence of filling the well:

Broken brick or river pebbles are laid at the bottom with a layer of 20 centimeters.
The same layer of prepared soil is added, consisting of cow dung, compost, humus, peat and sand.

It is advisable to prepare the seedling a day before planting:

Examine shoots and roots carefully.
Remove damaged areas, process the cuts with garden pitch or charcoal.
Immerse the roots in a container of water so that the root system is saturated with moisture and absorbs nutrients better.

Planting procedure step by step

The seedlings are neatly placed in the middle of the hole, maintaining the planting depth:

for grafted roses - the graft should be 2.5 cm below ground level;
for own-rooted ones - the root collar should be recessed by 3-4 cm.

Note! If you plant ground cover plants around the bush (for example, loosestrife, creeping veronica), they will not only retain moisture, but also prevent the growth of weeds.
