Drift Rose

Should I plane this rose now or wait until spring. Zone 8

Plant? Do you already have the rose?
I am not familiar with the climate zones, but unless it gets very cold I would be inclined to go for now; root growth tends to take place overwinter.

Roses are pretty hardy. I would do as Oliver suggests as long as it's not freezing or expected to before the soil can settle round the roots. I imagine it will look really pretty alongside your other "herbs". ...... or maybe you just drive an older MB.

OK just received the rose and ready to plant. Should i add any fertilizer or just plant in some good potting soil?

Anyone

I would mix some granular fertiliser with soil and then fill the hole around the rose. Don't put fertiliser directly into the hole as it will burn the roots.

OK Thanks

Vague question. Follow the instructions with the plant. I see your 7b, so not a risky zone for planting, as long as you can work the soil go for it.
