Saving Roses During a Remodel

As part of the remodel, I had to dig up two of my gardens. I experienced physical pain ripping my babies from the earth. I wanted to keep everything but the repairs are going to take me well into October. They will not have a chance to reestablish before the ground freezes. So, I have to stash some in my veggie garden over the winter. Here is how I did it:





1. Dig a hole:




2. Fertilize the hole:






3. Fill the hole with water:




4. Put the rose in the hold and pack with dirt:


5. Water well and keep watering well for the first two weeks. This will help everyone settle in.






Wish me luck:-)
