One is a fruit tree and the other is a rose bush. They both came wrapped well and don't seem to have any damage (looking from the outside) The question I have is: Do these items need any special attention before planting? I got them about a month before I think I can plant them (we just got snow) and I don't want them to die on me! The only clue I have is that the tree is marked "Do not open until planting".
