when digging up a rose bush, I found bulbs

Question

While digging up a very old rose bush, I found bulbs that appeared around root.  I don't know what these are.  I have tulips close but these bulbs were very close to the root of the rose bush.  Any idea what these are?

Answer 1

Probably they are also tulip bulbs.  I would plant them and put ground pepper or red pepper in the dirt that you cover them with and put a stick there so you know where you planted them.  They probably moved over from when the other tulips devided during the winter and the roots pulled them down into the ground under the bush.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.  That makes sense to me.  I'll think of you when seeing the tulips next spring.
