Avoid competition from roots of other plants. Roses need loose, well-drained, well-aerated soil that contains plenty of organic matter. A raised bed can provide roses with ideal soil conditions. You can plant bare root roses in late fall, late winter or early spring in South Carolina. Container-grown plants can be planted later in the spring. Dig a hole large enough for the roots to spread out in their natural position. Prune any damaged roots and spread the roots down around a mound of soil in the hole. Set the plant so that the graft union is just above the soil level.
by Sharon. (Gilbert, SC USA) QUESTION: When is the right time to plant roses in South Carolina? I live in Lexington County. ANSWER: Hi Sharon! Here is my page about planting times for roses. However, keep in mind that every area has pocket zones. Therefore I recommend you consult with your local garden nursery that sell roses for the best planting time in Lexington county, SC. Potted roses can be planted almost any time in your region of mild winters. I don't recommend planting roses in the heat of the summer though. Most roses don't flower well during hot weather. Except for spring, your best flowering season is October and November, if you give your roses a dose of good rose food.
