| My neighbor gave me a Hybrid Tea Rose and I was going to ask when the best time to plant it. It is in a package and it is still green of course. I was wondering, since I don't have very much space should I put it in a pot or try to grow it in the ground somewhere? I rent and there is not much room around the house that is not covered with trees. I thought if I put it in a pot I could move it where it would get the sun it needs. It is a peace rose and I would really love to grow it. Also, will it bloom this summer or will it wait a year? |

| It will bloom this year if you plant it right away. Don't leave it in the bag too long. It will also defoliate with black spot if you don't spray - it's very disease prone unless you're in a very dry climate. Pretty rose. |

| Read the thread that Hrose posted. It has a lot of good info in it. I've added an easier link to it below. Get it out of the bag right away and carefully take off all the saw dust stuff it's packed in. Put it in a bucket of water to soak. It can stay in the bucket for a number of days until you get whatever you need and be OK. Make sure you get a BIG pot! A full size hybrid tea rose like Peace needs a lot of root room. If shade is a big problem then, yes, I'd pot it and keep it in the sun. If it doesn't get enough sun it will not be healthy and will not bloom properly. Roses need a minimum of 6 hours of full sun and prefer 8 hours to really perform well. |

| If they need 8 hours of sun, then I have the perfect place for it. It is where I planted the Rose of Sharon that died, it gets a lot of sun and drains well. I have it soaking in a can of water and am thinking of planting it today. I have a large container of potting soil and I am going to dump that into the hole and put the rose on top of that, does that sound like a good idea? |

| What size pot were you thinking of? It matters. Jeri |

| I went ahead and planted the rose in front of the house, it gets a lot of morning sun there. I put the rest of the potting soil in the hole with the dirt and put the rose on top of it. When do you think I will see any growth? My neighbor planted one just like it and his had green leaves on it already and he got his the same time as mine, will that make any difference? |
