Planting roses in spring

  1. Having dug a planting hole, you should add complex fertilizer to it and fill it with abundant water.
  2. The rose is planted in open ground in a container with drainage holes.
  3. Having placed the pot in the hole, it is necessary to sprinkle it with earth, into which it is important to add manure beforehand.
