Re: Hello! Rose question...

Be sure that you get as much root system as possible. That may mean
digging down about 12" since many roses are deep rooted. Try to get a width
at least 12:" wide. It is a good thing that it is fall. If you accidently
bare root the plant it should recover quicker in the cool weather.
