When to plant new potted roses in ground?
Comments (4)Madgallica, I've enjoyed reading your posts over the years, and heeding your advice. Which I DID ask for, I admit. But I am not sure about giving up on some of my baby rose plants because they might not survive in your Zone 5 climate. I just found an online article by a major rosarian in the RI Rose Society, which advises us (there is no mention of very new band-size plants, though) to almost cover the plant with horse manure, a foot deep, for overwintering safely. His garden is in Zone 6, inland RI. My roses are at the edge of Zone 7: the coldest winter temperatures here are above zero. My garden is 800 ft. from the ocean, facing east and south. The nearby presence of the ocean makes the winters less cold and the summers less hot. Is there anyone in this forum who has experience (good or bad) with northeast-coast roses? Maybe someone in New Haven or Mystic CT? I will also ask in the NE forum, and maybe even phone that RIRS rosarian. And also one on Cape Cod.

Comments (13)lol, Ladybanks is mega huge and will eat up a house, lol! yeah, I too would be too scared to plant Ladybanks in a pot. And yeesh that is going to be a major endeavor. Luckily there's very little thorns? Luckily for me, hybrid tea climbers can get large, but they don't eat houses. Maybe their blooms are just too heavy and large to reach the massive proportions like other types of roses do (New Dawn Wichurana being another example or some of the ancient OGRs). I do have Ghislaine de Feligonde, however, so who knows how big it will get, lol! YIKES! and yes it will be in a 30 gallon pot. wuh-oh! Ironically the other hybrid tea climbers are in much larger containers 122 gallons but I don't think any will be as massive as Ghislaine perhaps? I don't know--I am very new to OGRs. This will be my first time trying to grow them (fingers triple-crossed)!...See MoreRe-potting New Bag Rose
Comments (2)Thanks for your reply diane_nj! I differentiated them from a typical bare root rose that has a larger root system intact that aren't sold in bags thinking they'd be less able to withstand a repotting 2 wks in. But maybe you're saying it doesn't make a difference how big the root system is,a bare root is a bare root. Do you think the wilted leaves will bounce back?...See MoreNew Potted Roses
Comments (5)When a rose is potted (and maybe rootbound) its difficult to soak the rootball. When you water, the water tends to run out along the sides of the pot. My solution is to soak them in a kiddie pool for 30 minutes or so daily to let them absorb as much water as they need. Put an inch of water in the pool and let them hang out there while you do other garden chores....See More
