| Now's
the time to plant bare-root roses.
You can save up to 50% by purchasing
bare-root roses versus waiting for
these same roses in planters. And
bareroot plants usually adapt better
to your garden than plants transplanted
from containers because they only
have to adjust to one type of soil...
yours! Plus, the selection is fantastic.
For example at Fred Meyer Garden Centers,
you'll find over 75 varieties to choose
from. Click here for our 3-Step-No-Fail-Plan
for Planting Bareroot Roses.
Visit
your Fred Meyer Garden Center today,
and start growing award-winning rose
plants!
While
much of the information in these tips
is applicable in several gardening
zones/climates, some of the plants
and timing suggested are best suited
to the Northwest, generally in the
mild/wet growing regions found along
the I-5 corridor. You should make
appropriate adjustments or consult
local gardening experts in regions
whose climates differ from this area
of the Northwest.
