This is the best time for planting bare root roses. While you can purchase container roses and continue to water and care for them while they are still in their containers, when it comes to bare root roses, you'll have to plant them immediately after you purchase them, so make sure you have everything you need. The hole should be bigger than the roots of the rose and the earth attached to them so that the roots have something to grab on to as the plants grow. This is what you will need to do to plant one bare root rose. However, many plants are sold in groups of three and growing them that way can be a great plan. If you're planting more than one rose, however, then you should make sure they are planted at least 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 m) apart, so their roots have room to grow. Mix it well until you've formed a mound of the entire mixture at the bottom of the hole you've dug. If you're planting in a warmer climate, then you should position the the rose so that the bud union of the rose is just above the level of the ground. If it's colder, the bud union should be about 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.1 cm) below ground level. The roots should be covered, but the stem should be out of the ground. This will keep out any air pockets that could harm your roses. Then, pat the soil around the roots a bit more firmly. Keep filling the hole with the mixture until it's about 3/4 full. If you're shoveling with your hands, just watch out for the thorns. Let the water soak all the way into the soil and then refill the hole. Trim the canes of the roses so they're about 8 inches (20.3 cm). Do this by making angled cuts that are about 1⁄4 inch (0.6 cm) above the outward facing buds. This will protect the canes of the rose from drying out. In about two weeks, the buds should sprout, and then you can remove the mound. This is an old gardener's trick that will help the plant retain water a bit better and which will also keep it from falling down after the first wind.

One-sentence summary -- Plant the roses between six weeks before your region's last average frost date and two weeks after it. Dig a hole that is bigger than the plant. Mix some compost with the soil. Place the bare root rose on the soil mound. Shovel the soil mixture around the bare roots. Fill the hole with water. Make a 6-inch soil mound over the plant. Stomp down on the mound a little bit.

Q: If you're able to choose which direction to walk, start at the Brooklyn side of the bridge. Strolling across the bridge from this side offers stunning views of lower Manhattan's towering skyline.  Additionally, Brooklyn Bridge Park and Cadman Plaza Park on the Brooklyn side are picturesque places to start your trip. If you're walking with friends, arrange to meet up at either park. The pedestrian entrance is at the northeast corner of Cadman Plaza, so this park is the most convenient meeting place. While Brooklyn Bridge Park is a short walk from the bridge's pedestrian entrance, it offers the best views of the bridge itself. While the Manhattan side sports superior skyline views, Brooklyn is packed with things to do. If you're starting in Manhattan, stroll across the bridge and lounge around Brooklyn's waterfront, which is lined with parks and vibrant neighborhoods.  Jane's Carousel is a popular waterfront destination, and it's an excellent activity for kids. The neighborhoods surrounding the bridge are also packed with restaurants, shops, galleries, and other attractions. While you could walk briskly and cross the bridge in about 20 minutes, give yourself an hour or so. That way, you can stroll slowly and appreciate the views. Once you get to the pedestrian walkway, look for the stenciled markings that designate the bike and pedestrian lanes. Both lanes are narrow, and you'll need to stay in your lane to avoid speedy cyclists.   Be sure to stay on the right-hand side of the bridge to avoid oncoming pedestrian and cyclist traffic. If you're walking with kids, hold hands to avoid accidents. At the start of your walk, the bridge's incline will be too low to see much of the view across the river. Whether you depart from Brooklyn or Manhattan, these first few minutes are perfect for people-watching. Seize the opportunity to peek at passersby. Look for locals briskly crossing the bridge to run errands in the neighboring borough, or try to figure out where nearby tourists are from. If you started from the Brooklyn side, lower Manhattan's skyline will come into view as the bridge's elevation increases.  Look for the Freedom Tower, the Woolworth Building, and the Financial District's towers. The Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and other iconic Manhattan skyscrapers will also be visible. If you're heading toward Brooklyn, you'll see its park-lined waterfront, charming neighborhoods, and growing skyline. The Brooklyn Bridge is an architectural wonder, so take the time to admire its impressive neo-Gothic structure. When it opened, it was dubbed the eighth wonder of the world, and its towers were the tallest buildings in the Western hemisphere! If you started from the Brooklyn side, look toward the left, or to the west. If you started from Manhattan, look toward the right, or east side, to find the Statue of Liberty.  Though she'll look tiny, you'll get a clear view of the Statue of Liberty from the span of the bridge between its central towers.
A: Walk from Brooklyn to Manhattan for sprawling skyline views. Cross from Manhattan to Brooklyn to explore parks and neighborhoods. Plan to spend up to 1 hour crossing the bridge. Stay in the pedestrian lane and steer clear of bikes. Do some people-watching for the first part of your walk. Look for iconic skyscrapers as you walk toward lower Manhattan. Check out the bridge's beams, trusses, and wire supports. Watch for the Statue of Liberty in the distance.

Article: If you laminate your photos using heat, the heat will ruin them because the pictures are often printed on thermal paper. Buy a pack of self-laminating pages from an office store, big-box store, or online. These are heatless and won’t ruin the photos.  To use the self-adhesive laminating sheets, all you have to do is peel off the backing and position your picture in between both sheets. Make sure you go slowly and press out any air bubbles. Start at a corner of the photo when flattening the sheets together to help prevent wrinkles. Use scissors to cut out your photo once it's laminated. While they may still fade a little due to light exposure, air particles and the oils from your fingers will cause the ultrasound photos to deteriorate faster. Place the photos in a picture frame with the back securely fastened to help preserve them. You can purchase picture frames designed specifically for ultrasound photos online. These frames don’t protect the pictures any differently from other frames, but they are designed to be the same size as the ultrasound photos and have special wording or illustrations on them. Archival-type scrapbooks are great for storing ultrasound photos — the high-quality paper helps protect the pictures and you can decorate the pages however you’d like. Just make sure your scrapbook is lignin-free, acid-free, and PVC-free.  Lignin is a chemical compound found in wood, and PVC is a type of plastic, both of which eventually break down and release acids. When you’re creating the scrapbook, use photo corner squares to keep the pictures in place and prevent them from being damaged.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Laminate the ultrasound photos using a heatless laminate to protect them. Place the photos in frames to prevent air and oils from touching them. Put the photos in an acid-free photo album if you want them in a scrapbook.
