Good season to plant some roses?
Answers: That depends on the area you live surrounded by. In many areas this is a appropriate time to plant because the roots get a arbitrariness to spread in the soil that will stay melt for the next few months. This give them a head start lower than ground making them much heartier growers next Spring than any rose that have to wait until Spring to dance into the ground.
The drawback is your local Nursery. Most get their potted stock surrounded by spring, so buyers can best see the flower choices. So by now, you may not enjoy the best selection to choose from.
Not sure give or take a few your place but here in New Zealand the nursery I work at go and get the bare rooted roses contained by about mid winter, pots them up and are available for public sale mid/late winter.
This allows them to be planted with plenty time to start new roots past spring growth starts(1st Sept is start of spring)
Most roses are still available late spring, any worthy nursery can order surrounded by roses on request, even later into summer, they will be already potted up and possibly a bit dearer
Small is all relative, our current place we with the sole purpose have approx 30 roses, second place we had 120+(Bush, climbers, minatures and standards)
I live surrounded by So. Cal. We ususally plant our rose bushes around January when it's cold.
