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.
In central North Carolina potatoes can be planted as early as mid February and should be in the ground by the end of March. Potatoes planted later than March 31 will still grow, though their yields will likely be lower than earlier planted crops because they will not have as much time to form tubers before the vines start to wither in the summer heat. When and Where to Plant Potatoes. Potatoes planted in March will be ready to harvest in June and July.
