Special Care for Tree Roses
Tree Roses, both 'Patio Trees' and 'Standard Trees', often take extra time to leaf out after planting. It is important to prevent the top stems from drying out during this time. Placing a moist burlap sack over the branches will encourage bud break and prevent dehydration. Keep the sack moist and check often. Once leaves start to appear, remove the sack. If planting Tree Roses in pots, they should be at least 14 inches in diameter. For further information, Please see Winter Protection for Tree Roses and Growing Roses in Containers.
