In making plans about planting roses, one of the most important details that you must consider first is proper timing – when is the perfect time to plant roses? This is an important matter for many gardeners since time, energy and money are invested and they may be wasted if there is no proper timing. In particular, if you are located in a country that enjoys four seasons, like the US, roses must be planted at a very definite time.

One of the best traits of rose plants is that it can grow almost everywhere. In a sense, rose planting is not reliant on the place, but on the climate zone. Basically, it’s just proper timing. If you live in a country that has cold season, the best time to plant roses is in early springs. It is important that the soil where you are planning to grow your rose is no longer ice-covered.

If your place enjoys warm weather similar to California and Florida, the perfect time to plant your roses is when the weather condition is not extremely hot. In general, this is from December to January, or during fall or late fall. During these months, the temperature and weather are just perfect which is ideal for growing roses.

If you are unaware of the proper timing for planting roses, you may ask help from your local nurseries for further guidelines and advice. Local nurseries are experts on plant farming, and they may be able to provide you unique, and sometimes limited, facts about rose plant propagation.

Aside from knowing the right timing, rose planting also relies on where they are originally planted: either in a pot or on the ground. If it’s planted in a pot, there are a few things you must know in order to carefully transfer the plant from the pot to your garden. Your rose plants should have already been prepared one week before the date of transfer. You must reduce the quantity of water you provide for your plant. This process is known as hardening. On the day of replanting, water both the soil in the pot and in the ground. This will make the root soil maintain its firmness.

If you reside somewhere in the southwest, south or west coast of the United States, the recommended period for growing roses is from January to February because the temperature is just right. If your place has a lengthy period of warm or cold climate, the best period for rose planting is between late fall and early spring. If you are in a location where cold climate lasts for several months, the best time to plant roses is in spring.

Generally, the best season of the year to plant roses is during spring. This is because the water supply is sufficient and the weather is great. If your rose plant has sprouted roots within this season, it has a higher success rate and better chance of surviving during the weather extremities of summer and winter.

Nonetheless, if springtime is far from now, it can still plant your rose in the summer. Just make sure that you provide sufficient water for the plant. Right amount of water will keep the soil moist and avoid dryness. Additionally, keep your rose from too much sun exposure. You may place your rose plant under a shade to lessen the heat and to avoid dryness.
