David Austin Rose - Munstead Wood

• Rehydrate your rose. Unpack the rose quickly after receiving, trim 1/2" off the root tips and canes to keep them fresh.
• Soak the roots up to the base of the cane for 2 hours - overnight.
• Choose a site with a minimum of 4 hours of sun per day and dig a hole twice as wide as the root system and as deep as the roots (typically 16" wide x 16" deep)
• Loosen the soil at the bottom the hole for better root growth then create a small mound in the base of the hole and drape the roots around it.
• position the bud union (where shoots emerge) at ground level and backfill with the original soil. Lightly firm the soil around the plant.
• Give the rose a good initial watering after plant and maintain regular watering. Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
