Summer Rose Planting in Texas Heat: Survival Strategies for Memorial Gardens

Not ideal, but doable:

1. Mulch 6 inches (wood chips, compost) — keeps roots cool.
2. Water a bucket per day per plant in 90°F+ heat.
3. Expect stress; survival rate drops but many make it.

Nurseries have limited stock now. Consider ordering bareroot for fall planting instead, or buy potted and baby them through summer.
