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