Long term care of potted roses


Hi garden friends !

I’ve been growing roses in pots here in so cal , some for 5 years now ! They are in the biggest pots I could realistically afford . Most of them need soil replenishment, the soil line has gone down significantly. As has the health and quality of the roses.

What do you recommend for topping off ? Just some fresh miracle grow soil ? Can I get away with just adding the soil on top or do you think I need to ask for help lifting the plants and putting fresh underneath?

I feel like I know the answer to that one but I am lazy lol

Also what soil enhancements would help revive my plants for spring ?

Do I trim the roots or just let them be ?

Thank you !!!
