Transplanting shocks the *jhada* (roots) because the fine *bal* (root hairs) that drink water and food are as delicate as a newborn’s grip; they tear easily, leaving the plant thirsty and hungry. But the books say this always stunts growth, and here I must disagree—my Pune rose farm sees the fiercest blooms after a careful monsoon transplant. You see, for a commercial grower, the temporary check on growth is a small price to pay for giving each plant proper space and soil; a crowded rose is a selfish rose.
