Here are pieces of valuable information on how to plant a rose correctly. Look for a place in your garden that receives full sunlight. Bare root roses need to be soaked in water first before planting. Potted roses are just no different. Soak the soil in the pot until you can pull out the plant with the soil attached from the pot. Now dig a hole, make it a few inches deeper. Add compost and bone meal, and make sure your hole is a little bit bigger than the size of the pot. This is to surround the roots with soft soil so new roots will grow fast.
After you have placed the rose in the hole, adjust it so as the nicest side faces outward. Then the rest of the hole should be filled around the plant. Remove pockets of air that you may have missed by tamping the soil firmly. After that, water the plant slowly. This is to ensure that the water will seep down deeper into the roots of the rose plant. Roots should be kept moist and cool; this can be done by putting mulch at the base of the bush.
