Can you plant roses in July?

I've become interested in roses and would really like to plant some. I know a lot of the websites recommend planting in the fall or early spring but I'm wondering if they'd still be healthy if I planted them now.

Can you plant roses in July?
Depends on where you live. If is normally not good to plant them in full heat of the summer, it may kill them.





It has worked for me, but you may not see any roses this year until the roots kick in good.





Dig bigger holes and use good topsoil and keep watered.
Reply:What the books, my local Rose Society, and my Mother say is that you should wait until fall. Until then, go ahead and admire the roses at your local Rose Society. While the roses that are currently in bloom at the garden center may fare well (we hope) if planted in the summer, you can never be sure. I've let my flowers be until fall when I'm installing the next batch of roses. Now, if you feel like a gardner on the edge and absolutely HAVE to have the rose, go for a minature and keep it in a pot until fall. That way you've got the best of both worlds.

Reply:Sure, as long as you keep them watered every day in the early morning. Plant them in the early morning or late evening.
