In most hardiness zones, the best time to plant roses tends to be early spring. The ground is no longer frozen from winter’s frost, and the summer heat is still in the future. This is usually between late February and early April.Be sure to plant at least 6 weeks before the first frost of the season. This will allow the roots to become established while the weather is still favorable and before the plant goes dormant. Add a heavy, top layer of mint compost as mulch around the base of the rose to help insulate it and retain moisture.
