Is there an advantage to planting potted roses?
Yes. The potted rose has begun to grow when you receive it and is often in bud and bloom, giving you the advantage of a started plant. The potted rose can be successfully planted late in the season or even during the summer when dormant roses are no longer available, or practical to plant. Potted roses are also a little easier to plant, as there is no concern about getting the earth firmly placed between and under the roots, because the roots are encased in a ball of earth.
