• Rebar– ½” cut into 30” lengths for stability
• Alternate materials:– Landscaping blocks stacked 3 high.

Removing Roses from the pot
• Using a box cutter– Cut a slit from the top down
to a drain hole– Go over one hole and cut
back to the slit plus one drain hole.
– Putting one hand between the bottom of container and rose bush, lift out and set in the hole prepared.

Time To Plant
• Roses should be 13” from the side and 32” or 33” apart in the bed.
• Dig at least 1” deeper than the pot
• Fill holes with water and allow to drain
• Add one handful of bone meal
• Add 1” of dirt on top of that
• Plant roses to be even with the top of the bed.

Irrigation System Install
![Page 30: Raised bed construction](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5585945dd8b42ad06d8b4b1b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Installing the Irrigation System
• ½” flexible tubing
• ¼” flexible tubing to a single bush
• Using a srubber from Drip Works next to the rose bush you get a 12” circle of water to soak into the ground.

Adding Mulch
• Apply a thick layer of mulch– Will help retain moisture– Keeps the soil cool– Helps prevent weeds

Use Quality Roses
• You get what you pay for.
• Why plant a $1 rose in a $50 hole?
• I have found K & M roses to be the best in quality.
