Planting Container Roses in July – Not Too Late

4 Roses Left in Pots Since May, Now Blackened but Green Inside

Owner in central MA, July 4th.

Rescue Plan

1. Dig holes.
2. Cut roses back to 3 inches.
3. Plant, mulch, fertilize, water well.
4. In 2 weeks, healthy new growth should emerge and bloom.

Roses in pots "go into a snit" but recover quickly when planted.
