Remove the container or wrapping from the root ball of the rosebud tree, and gently remove excess dirt around the outside of the roots. Plant the tree at least 2 feet deep, then cover it with soil, and water it thoroughly.
Apply a layer of compost around the base of the tree, and then add a 3-to-4-inch layer of mulch over the compost.
