LOL, I bought 4 roses, 3 were bare root and one good size one in a pot, we dug out tons of dirt and replaced with compost and potting soil,
and dug out 2 roses we figure are just dead...the ones that have zero little leaves sprouting, so fingers crossed, sad though, this was the
spring we were only in need of putting in 2 more to complete our rose garden, just want them to come back!!!! The one in the big pot I
bought was more than I usually pay, a Chrysler Imperial and it said cover with a rose cone, so I best do so when the time comes, and sadly
one of the rose bushes I bought for $49.99 from a nursery was beautiful last year, dug out dead this year, we came to the conclusion it
was likely to clay type soil with poor drainage and we hope with the new dirt and compost for better results. LOL, I even tossed a banana peel
and egg shell in each hole when we planted, hope they like the snacks.
