Betty Cuthbert – Bare Root refers to the Betty Cuthbert rose supplied in dormant, soil-free form with exposed roots. Bare-root roses are lifted during winter dormancy and sold without soil to make handling and transport easier. They are typically planted in late winter to early spring while the plant is still dormant.
