Dig the hole a bit’ before planting it allows us to revitalize the soil più deep and to increase fertilityà of the land that will goà to welcome the rose. The hole will have to be 26-agrave; be at least 1.5-2 times wider than the earthen bread of the rose. That said, before planting a ground cover rose è well create a 2-finger layer of gravel or other draining material, at the bottom of the hole, to increase drainage and reduce water stagnation around the earthen bread of our rose. Over the drainage layer we spread a layer of soil for gardening to which we also add organic fertilizer. L’ ideal would be to put some pelleted organic fertilizer and mix it with the soil, to increase fertility; of the substrate. If there is still no soil, we fill the hole with normal soil after which we press the added earth well with the foot and arrange the rose so that it is straight. If we want to plant bare-root ground cover roses, remember that this operation must be performed during periods of vegetative rest. Many rose aficionados argue that planting bare-root roses gives better results than planting seedlings with earthen bread but this operation &is’ certainly very complex and requires a bit’ of experience in più ;.
