Roses Question and Answer
The
Question came for a reader about moving a rose bush. I sent an email to
Arlene Correll, Home Farm Herbery.
The Answer "Tell the lady, I
would have no problem moving it if it was mine. She should dig
up a lot of dirt around the rose. Tell her to dig a very wide
hole. About 3 times as wide as the hole she is taking the rose out of.
Fill the hole with water. When she puts the rose in the
hole make sure she does not cover up the knob of the rose. (the part
that comes out of the ground) She should cover with dirt. She
should make a raised ring around the rose so the water will stay in
when she re-waters. Also she should mulch her rose so it retains
water."
