Planting & Care Guide

Instructions for Planting and Caring for Bare Root

Pruning Newly Planted Roses

Prune your bare root roses before planting—this promotes healthy growth. For climbing and shrub roses, trim them back to about six inches; bush roses should be reduced to four inches.

How to Plant Bare Root Roses

  • Depth: Plant the rose so that the graft union and the first inch of branches are below soil level to prevent suckers and wind damage.

  • Hole Size: Dig a hole wide enough for the roots to spread and deep enough to cover the base of the stems.

  • Soil and Fertilizer: Use high-quality compost like John Innes No 3, and mix in a handful of rose food or bone meal to avoid root scorch.

  • Planting: Hold the rose at the correct depth while backfilling the hole with soil. Firm it down gently with your foot as you go.

Handling Frost and Dry Roots

Never plant bare root roses when their roots are dry or during frosty conditions. If they arrive frozen, they can stay unopened for up to a week. If frost persists, open the package, moisten the roots, and place them in a container with damp soil or sand until conditions improve.

By following these guidelines, your bare root roses will thrive and provide beautiful blooms for years to come!

Instructions for Planting and Caring for Potted

Pruning Potted Roses

Lightly prune potted roses to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove dead stems and trim overgrown branches for a well-balanced plant.

How to Care for Potted Roses

  • Sunlight: Place your potted roses in a spot with 6+ hours of sunlight daily.

  • Soil: Ensure the pot has nutrient-rich, well-draining soil. If planting in the ground, enrich with compost or rose fertilizer.

  • Watering: Keep the soil moist, not waterlogged. Water deeply 1-2 times per week or more often in hot weather.

  • Transplanting: If replanting in the ground, handle the root ball carefully and plant at the same soil level. Water thoroughly after planting.

Seasonal Care

  • Winter Care: Protect from frost by moving pots to a sheltered area or insulating them with wraps. Water sparingly during winter months.

  • Feeding: Use a quality rose fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to boost growth and blooms.

    By following these steps, your potted roses will thrive and provide beautiful blooms for years to come!
