Is this the right time of year to plant a rose bush?

No gardeners?

I only ask because I know nothing about roses except that I'd like to plant one in a special to me place. I just don't know if winter or spring is the time to plant for a rose bush.

Little help?

In Spring when the frost is gone.

ETA: I see you're in Texas. I don't know much about your weather down there. You can plant earlier (during Winter) as long as the ground isn't frozen and you're not getting frost.

Wait till spring. Geerally you ant to plant roses late fall or early spring.

Although in texas you would probably be just fine planting now.

The first couple of weeks of April is when I've planted them. You can plant it in a bucket under a shop light in your garage or something until then if you already bought the plant.

There's a Gardening forum in the Outdoors section.

I've planted countless rose bushes in Ohio with my grandmother, and we used to plant them in early fall. We would cover them with one of those very large glass pickle jars for the winter, and somehow they all survived. I've never had even one bush die. I don't know about TX....

Thanks for the replies!

We only get a few freezes a year here anymore and seldom a hard freeze. I think I'll go ahead and plant one. I'd llike for it to have blooms by the spring. I don't care about cutting any roses off, I just want roses to bloom at one spot for many years to come.
