I've always heard/read that Rose's don't do well in containers. Turns out, I was using the wrong fertilizer. Thanknyou!

Great info on fertilizing potted plants. I noticed the granular fertilizer was not working on my potted plants. Glad I caught this video in time.

This was exactly what I needed to hear! Earlier today even I was having a hard time with where to put two roses being delivered, and this video crossed my feed right on time. Thanks for the advice!

Loved it fish fertilizer

I use the granular fertilizer for my potted rose that I grew from a cutting. It is doing beautifully, growing very strongly and quickly. It's fine to use the granular fertilizer as long as you don't overdo it (use too much).

I have some roses that are well over 30 years old in the ground, and I am planning to have my backyard relandscaped. I don't want to get rid of them, so I decided to take some cuttings from my three favorite bushes. The cuttings are doing well, and I plan on planting those cuttings in containers. I wasn't sure if roses grow well in containers, but after watching this, I now know.

Great video. I just put roses in pots in the fall. They look good so far. Glad you mentioned the granular fertilizer. I can see your point on getting to hot.

GREAT INFORMATION....AGAIN & VERY HELPFUL about the type of fertilizer which 4 all the years I've planted ....I NEVER KNEW & plant MY FLOWERS IN POTS so THANK U SO MUCH 4 UOUR TIME 😊

Hello! I just planted my roses with half organic and half miracle grow soil with slow release beads. If I’ve done something wrong please advise how I can rectify. Thank you!

I have three Golden Celebrations planted in half barrels and they’re growing great, but they have yet to produce any flowers. It’s the second year and I use fish fertilizer every four weeks (during growing season). Should I try a bloom fertilizer? Any ideas as to why they don’t want to flower? Thanks!

You have rose blooms in your video! I ordered six from you thus far Julia's rose Francis Meilland Wedding garland Pretty in pink Eden climber Eden climber Crown princess Margareta I plan on getting Bathsheba and Princess Alexandra of Kent the moment they're available. I mean the very instant. I'm looking at which ones do well in pots because I'm absolutely unsure about where I want them to be permanently. Kinda just ordered what I thought was pretty. Most of them are climbers so I'm going to have a really really interesting time sorting where they're going to go.

I already have 3 roses (planted in ground) from you and planning on purchasing more for containers in next couple months. I live in New York (Zone 7), and was wondering if I need to store containers in green house for winter. Containers are currently next to the house on south side of the house.

@heirloomroses

9 ай бұрын

Great question. As long as your roses are designed for zone 7 they will be okay left outside. It is natural for them to go completely dormant in the wintertime, which is why we generally recommend against storing them in a greenhouse.

Great video---I have many of your roses & while you are at the upper end price-wise, your roses are in the best condition of any company I've ordered from so far. I sometimes plant in the fiber pots so if I put them in the ground it will be a bit easier; I set the fiber pot into a larger pot WITH drainage (VERY important, as the fiber will start to mold sitting in water or even dampness). I think the fiber pot allows evaporation so the roots don't roast, whereas plastic pots do not. What I really need advice on is the maintenance of potted roses. Should I replace the soil after 2-3 years? I agree that liquid fertilizer is best, but when & should I vary between high N for leaves & a bloom fertilizer, or just stick with a balanced one? It seems to me that the potted roses are less able to handle cold temps (zone 8b, so not too much below freezing). Thanks for being my go-to rose grower.

So, I am waiting on mine (I ordered some Plum Perfect and Beverly). I couldn't afford the big terracotta pots and got some large resin pots with holes drilled in the bottom. Would you suggest making a reservoir to put under them? I don't want to over water by accident.

@heirloomroses

11 ай бұрын

Great question! Your containers don't need a reservoir for your rose to do well. A reservoir can be helpful to avoid a mess underneath your pot and to keep an eye on the water level, but they are not necessary. To make sure your rose is getting the proper amount of water, we recommend watering until you see a little water coming out from the bottom of the pot, and then letting your soil dry out before watering again. The main goal is to avoid letting your rose sit in a pool of water. The actual amount of water your rose needs will vary with the season and heat.

I would put about 2 inches of pebbles on the bottom of the pot and get rid of the water dish.

I just ordered climbing from your nursery through Amazon, please advice to use the same way to plant direct in the ground or first plant in the planter?

@heirloomroses

11 ай бұрын

Thanks for reaching out. If you plan to grow your climber in a container permanently, you can go ahead and plant it there. However, if you plan to have it grow in the ground, I recommend you plant it directly into the ground to allow it to get established and avoid the stress to the plant that comes with transplanting down the line.

I'm in zone 6. If I plant a climber variety in a pot alongside side my fence, how do I protect the bush in the winter months when it gets below freezing?

Good question! here is a link to an article on how to winterize your potted rose, if it is difficult to put the rose inside a non-heated space having it in a container may not be best for the rose. I hope this helps! 🌹 heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/protecting-roses-for-winter

I worry about the roses getting root bound after 1-2 years in the pot. I read somewhere that grow bags help solve this problem because of air pruning of the roots. As a result, smaller size grow bags , like a 10 gallon one, is good enough to grow most type of roses - big or small. Do you think it will be a good idea to use 10 gallon grow bag in side 12-14 gallon pot ( to leave some air space between the grow bag and the pot ) for growing heirloom roses ?

Yes, you can use potting soil from the hardware store as long as it does not contain any granular fertilizer in the mix. Our Living Soil can be used as a top dressing to supplement that potting soil. It is great that you are planning to use the fish fertilizer. This will help your new roses thrive and get established quickly.

It is important to let your roses go dormant for a period of time since that is part of their natural growth cycle and is necessary for producing blooms. That being said, in Alaska, you can definitely overwinter your roses in a greenhouse. Since, we are less familiar with that specific growing climate, and it will vary depending on where in Alaska you are located, I recommend contacting a local rose society or master gardeners group for their recommendation.

The plant is too deep into the pot. You buy a big pot, and then lose about 20% of the space because you're planting too deep. A little below the line of the pot, OK. There's nothing gained by going so deep, and you either lose area the roots can grow in, or you got a bigger pot than you needed because where your soil is, it's probably two or three inches smaller than the top lip. If I understood, which I can't after gardening for 55 years, what you gained by being so deep, it would make more sense. Your reason was really poor and made no sense. Unless you are planning to put fish in there with them, and they need some room to swim.
