When you receive your grafted, band size rose. It will come in a one gallon nursery pot that can be planted directly into the ground. Roses on Fortuniana should be planted with the graft union a couple of inches about the soil, as grafts on Fortuniana can not be buried under the soil. Fortuniana developes a very stong root system after the first year, but it is advisable to stake the plant to prevent any damage to the plant while it establishes its roots. Once established it is recommended not to hard prune the bush. It does best when only pruned back to waist level every year.
