Variety: one of the factors to think is the collection of rose that you wish to grow. Some plants are more delicate than others.

In this case late fall or winter are the best seasons to plant it. In climates that have severe winters you will be able to plant when the rose is dormant which is late winter to early spring.

Tips:
Always plant when the rose is dormant: if the plant is still growing you will stress out the plant when you plant it and it can go into shock and die. Any way if it is dormant and is not growing at all you can safely plant it. By the time it starts to grow again its roots will have adapted and got established in its new home. This will minimize the stress on the plant and will ensure that it will be able to institute itself and grow vigorously.

Make sure the ground will not freeze: if your winters are cold be sure to plant your roses after the last frost. This can be late spring. If the ground freezes your plant will reserve damage and even die. This is because the water in the roots and stems will freeze causing cells to rupture and damage the plant.

When you bring your new rose home think these points before you plant it. In this way you will be able to ensure optimum increase and minimal damage when you plant your roses. You will then be able to enjoy your roses all season long and for many years to come.
