Name: Daisy I Reno, Nv (Zone 6b) Not all who wander are lost
In your zone, I would wait until spring. I never plant anything after about August 1 to ensure that it is well established by the time the ground freezes. I hope you are buying self-rooted roses.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
