To keep the roots cool you can place large stones or rocks around the base to help shield the soil from direct sunlight. In all cases the vine should be planted so that the roots are always kept cool and the head should be grown into the sun or towards a sunny spot on a wall or trellis etc.
If you are planting a bare root vine insert a cane for support before planting and plant firmly to the old soil mark. The planting depth should be just below the original compost surface in the pot so that the root ball is just covered with soil. If you are planting a pot grown vine make sure the root ball is not too root bound or has been grown in a small pot for too long so that the roots have started to spiral in the base of the pot.
Planting a Grape vine: Plant at 5 feet or 1.5 metres apart. Consolidate the surface and scatter 2 oz (50 g) of Growmore over the area before planting. Before the Romans took an interest in vines they grew naturally in woods and forests, climbing trees in search of sunlight to ripen the fruit they produce, this is why the key to growing grapes successfully is lots of organic matter in the soil to recreate the leaf litter found naturally on the forest floor. Another good source of organic matter is lead compost created from oak, ash and lime trees beech leaves are best avoided, as they tend to be a little too acid for vines. Cultivate a 2 ft (60 cms) squared area at each planting site (all weeds should be removed at this stage), digging as far down as you can get, incorporating lots of well rotted farm yard manure – it is important that it should be well rotted because fresh manure will burn the vines roots. Preparation: The key is to spend some time on soil preparation before planting and this should be carried out at least a month before planting. All soil but clays and shallow chalks can be used but the best types are gritty or sandy soils enriched with organic matter. Good drainage is vital – do not bother planting a grape if water logging is a problem. South, southeast or southwest facing walls are best. Position: Grapes need as much sun as possible outdoors. It will naturally fall off in a year or two. Your grape has been grafted using a grafting wax and this should not be removed.
