Write an article based on this "Plant your roses by May or early June, based on their instructions. Purchase a pot 16–24 in (41–61 cm) wide if planting roses in a container. Dig a hole 15–18 in (38–46 cm) wide if planting roses in your garden. Fill the bottom with 1 in (2.5 cm) of well-drained soil made for roses. Mix equal parts of soil, compost, and manure and fill the hole or pot. Use fertilizer specific for roses and follow the directions carefully. Cover your topsoil in a 2–4 in (5.1–10.2 cm) layer of mulch. Water your roses thoroughly immediately after you plant them."
Before you plant your roses, check the instructions of your particular rose type to determine when to plant them outside. Typically, the best time to grow roses is throughout the month of May. At the absolute latest, you should plant your roses in early June for best results. If you want to transplant your roses to a different container, make sure your pot has a diameter of at least 16 in (41 cm) so it can house your roses as they grow. If you have a larger rose bush, go with a larger pot so the roots have adequate room to take into the soil. You can purchase large pots at most home supply and garden stores. When transplanting roses, it is helpful to dig a wide hole so you can easily place the roots in the soil. Line the tip of your shovel up to your soil, and press on the side of your shovel with your foot with moderate force. This gets the shovel deep into the soil so you can scoop out a lot of dirt. Dig away your soil until your hole is roughly 15–18 in (38–46 cm) wide. This does not have to be an exact measurement. You can eyeball the size of your hole, based off of the size of your rose bush. For instance, if you have a smaller bush, dig your hole slightly smaller. Whether you are putting them in the dirt or transplanting them to another container, always use well-drained soil with your roses. Use a garden tool to scoop out some soil, and line the base of your hole.  You can purchase potting soil for roses at home supply and garden stores. If your soil does not drain properly, your roses may develop fungal diseases. Find a bucket, and fill it up ⅓ of the way with your potting soil. Then, fill another ⅓ with compost (either store bought or from your compost bin). Fill your bucket the last ⅓ of the way full with bagged manure. Then, mix it all together with your garden tool. Use this mixture to fill the rest of your hole. Add soil until either your hole or container is full to the top. Purchase a fertilizer formulated specifically for roses from a nursery or garden center. Read the directions carefully to use your fertilizer. Generally, you can sprinkle it over top of your top soil before you water your plants. In addition, you can purchase liquid fertilizer and mix it with your water. Mulch helps reduce stress on the plant, conserve water, and encourage healthy growth. Scoop mulch with your garden tool or shovel and place it on top of your soil. Continue spreading mulch until you have at least a 2 in (5.1 cm) layer. Leave about 1 in (2.5 cm) between the base of the stem and the mulch. If you planted your roses in containers, adding mulch is optional. It helps them grow, but you may not have room in your pot for 2 in (5.1 cm). Some is better than none! Grab your gardening hose, and place it at the base of your rose bush. Water your roses for about a minute so they are thoroughly saturated. Watering your flowers right after you plant them helps the roots take to the new soil.
