1. Orezivanje grana i korena pre sadnje

Prune the canes to 6 - 8 inches (15– 20 cm) in length. Then prune the tips of the roots lightly. Before planting soak the rose plant entirely in a bucket of water for 12–24 hours. This is extremely important for spring plantings.

2. Priprema zemljišta za sadnju

Loosen the soil and dig a hole that is large enough for the plant. The graft union (knob between roots and branches) has to be planted up to 2 inches (5 cm) below the surface.

3. Sadnja

Fill the hole with the soil you have on hands, firmly press with your boots and water abundantly to ensure soil contact of the roots. Additional watering is necessary when the climate in spring is very hot and dry. Not water too much as the roots may not get enough oxygen and may suffocate.

4. Zagrtanje sadnice u jesen i proleće

Rose plants have to be covered after the planting with soil. Only the points of the canes can be seen, this is the best protection against evaporation by wind, sun or frost. When planting in spring the soil can be carefully removed 4-8 weeks later, when the new canes have achieved a length of 4 inches (10 cm). Stem roses have to be covered in autumn and spring with fir branches, jute or fleece. This is absolutely necessary to prevent evaporation. In spring the protection can be removed after 3 - 4 weeks.
