Best quality rose plants are to be purchased for complete satisfaction and long yeats of pleasure. The most reliable way to buy roses is from the growers of the roses or from a trusted garden centre run by nurserymen.
Most of the large growers possess authentic catalogue and sell the roses to the consumers directly. One must choose the desired varieties from the pictures and descriptions in the catalogue. Newer roses are advertised towards the front of the catalogue and older roses coming later.
Highly reliable rose growers give guarantees for their roses. Nurserymen who run garden centres as their main outlet for plants of various kinds rarely grow the roses they sell. If one have confidence in such a nurseryman and fairly clear idea of what varieties are required, one can buy from tllem safely.
Very few are lucky enough to hit upon the best nurserymen the first time, and perhaps there is really no one who can be termed the best, as there are quite a number who supply good bushes.
However, always buy from a presumed reputable growers and that is really the first essential step in rose purchasing. As the year go by, more catalogues will be obtained and knowledge for rose plants will be expanding. Healthy, pest and disease free, true to the type, one year old budded plants are to be purchased from authentic source.
Nurserymen supply the rose plant either with earth ball wrapped in straw or grasses or bare-rooted plants, roots of which are covered with wet moss and wrapped in polythene. Now-a-days the rose nurseries are very skillful in packing plants, often so skillful as to make them difficult to unpack. Greatest care must be exercised in disentangling rose plants received in bundles.
The thorns and branches can become unbelievably intertwined. The budding is often not very firmly united in stock; especially in plants budded only a few months earlier. Hence, dragging or twisting of one plant from amongst others can very easily tear out the budding.
All ties should be carefully cut with scissors. Slowly and gently the branches should be untangled. After unpacking, each rose plant should be thoroughly examined.
Soon after arrival, consignment of roses should immediately be kept in a cool, shaded and well ventilated place. All package material is to be removed carefully. On observation of individual plants, if found too dry, good drenching of these plants with water will be beneficial. The plants along with ball of earth are dipped into a bucket or tub of water upto bud union.
The water may be mixed with clay or silt from a tank. A fungicide like Captan 2gm/l may be added to the water. The plants are kept in such water for 6- 12 hours. If the plants appear to have shriveled due to desiccation, the whole plant is to be immersed in water for several hours and soaked thoroughly. Thereafter, the earthball is removed carefully without injuring the roots.
