When do I plant climbing roses I just bought in a plastic wrap in the Northwest?

It's best to plant bareroot roses while they are still dormant. Garden centers usually wait until the appropriate time for planting before they set out stock.



"In the Northwest, particularly in growing zones like those found along the I-5 corridor, dormant bareroot plants show up in garden centers in February and should be planted as soon as possible. Colder regions will see bareroot stock later in the season."

Plant in a suny spot, with protection from wind.



Make sure your soil drains well %26amp; has plenty of organic matter and a slightly acidic soil mix.



Good luck! Hope this helps.

In the Northwest, they will bloom in spring. Here's a good resource out of Seattle:

Reply:Here in West Texas, zone 7b, we plant our's in February. You might need to call a local nursery and find out if it is okay to plant it now.
