How to Plant Bare Root Roses & Transplant Established | Gardening with Creekside

Last week my David Austin English roses arrived, and I am excited to show you how to plant bare root roses and how to transplant established roses. Early March in NC zone 7b is the perfect time to plant and transplant roses to give you gorgeous flowers this summer!

Jenny, I was screaming at you when you started planting the wrong variety. My husband came in to see who I was yelling at! I really felt for you when it dawned on you. But you recovered well and just moved on. Loved watching the process. Can’t wait to see their progress throughout the summer!

[@fraukeg.facchini2691]

LOL, so did I even though I knew it was way too late. Glad you noticed before they were starting to grow. :)

[@amw3083]

Me too! I was yelling ‘Wait! That’s the wrong one!’ Such is the life of a gardener and entrepreneur. Like you say you “show us the good, the bad, and the ugly”, but then you fix it, move on, and before you know it everything is coming up roses! Thank you for demystifying bare root roses. We just started making our garden last year and I was planning to add a couple tea roses this year. Now I’m confident to go for it!

[@juliehinkel608]

I think it so important to normalize “0ops”- it is not a big deal, you just correct and regroup.

[@camicri4263]

🤣🤣🤣

[@suannetoonk57]

/applause You go, Jenny! Love it!

[@lynnescrogins1096]

It’s so nice to see that I’m not the only one that runs out of energy before my project is complete. Love your videos!

[@bettyjohoadley6566]

Brenna loves you so much. I love that you have so much patience with her. Thank you so much for the tips on planting and moving roses.

[@patriciagolding7092]

I enjoy your stuff so much! Roald (rolled) Dahl is named for an award winning children’s author. I love the series is a literary series of roses. I’m an old reading specialist.

[@GardenKath]

No, she was right; it’s pronounced “Roo-all”. 🙂

[@happilyeverafter4947]

You handled planting roses with Brynna and the Miss Susan mishap with such grace. Loved this video. Like so many of us in the South, now is Rose Season!! So exciting to watch them grow and delight. 💚

[@FaithandFun-w6q]

Lovely upload friend well done ✅😍

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

Thank you very much!

[@maureengee364]

Thank you so very much for all your hard work showing us this Jenny. It is much appreciated for sure. Go have a good rest darling you deserve it. There going to look amazing. Thanks again darling.💯💯💯🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@lm8006]

SO relatable…name a gardener who hasn’t planted in wrong spot before. It’s going to be (even more) gorgeous!

[@barbarasidel9012]

Jenny you have such a beautiful property. I’m so happy I found you.

[@hamil10clem]

Jenny, thanks for always keeping it real and even including the mistake/realization in the video! That's just real life. I have misplaced plants, planted too close, too far, etc., and had to re-do so many times!

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

That is what gardening is all about. Making a mistake, realizing it, and then fixing it. Happy Wednesday!

[@hd1ab1]

If you only knew how many of us were coaxing you to rethink that first rose planting, we could have saved you the switching time. It's easy for us to say/do from the comfort of our viewing chairs!! I'm so glad you didn't realize it at an unfortunate time, like for me, 1 am when I can't sleep and garden plans are on my mind!!! Good luck with the roses. I'm anxious to see them in bloom!!

[@juliewilliams793]

I love David Austin Roses. I bought 5 new bare root roses, including Desdemona this year. I planted them up in November and they are all starting to flush out with new growth. I am very lucky and live only a 30 minute drive from David Austin Roses in Shropshire, England, so I love to go in summer and walk around the gardens which are amazing (then usually buy another couple!). Love your channel. Although I live in England I get so much inspiration and have learned so much from you. Thank you.

[@wilmabrazeau3332]

Your patio area is coming along beautifully..greetings from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦👩‍🌾🥰

[@ruthgoodhart4640]

May I say … I love, love, love your videos, and I didn’t think it was possible to enjoy them any more than I already do … then you brought home the most beautiful puppy! Your canine planting companion is the best!

[@juliafiore120]

Good gravy, Jenny! That was a lot of work! Great job. 👏🏻👏🏻 Hoping for a spectacular showing🙌🏻. Have a Blessed Day 😊🌷🌹

[@FantasticComics83]

Jenny, I’m a huge DA rose lover, so I had to check this video out. Give those rose a few years and you will be AMAZED at the beauty and the scent that they’ll provide. Just wanted to note, regarding the Gertrude Jekyll rose, she tends to want to be a climber more than a neat shrub rose. She gets the long octopus growth and can be somewhat hard to manage. I will say she is a beauty and the scent is out of this world! Also, be cautious of her thorns, they are deadly. She’s one of the thorniest roses I’ve ever seen! Take care! 🌹 🪴 🌸

[@deniseruckart1890]

Jenny, I just love your down to earth personality. You make it so relatable to how I look in my garden lol. I have two David Austin roses ordered and can’t wait to add those beauties to my garden. Many hugs from your neighbor in Tennessee.

[@bronwynodonnell8548]

Well done Jenny I’m envious of your roses. I garden in the sub tropics in Queensland Australia, my roses suffer from the humidity but I perceive as there is nothing like a rose 🇦🇺 cheers

[@wdwoolard0722]

How exciting!!! I planted 12 bare root David Austin's yesterday!!!

[@nearriversofficial]

These are lovely roses... I know graceful gardener well and davids. Beautiful bloomers and notable for their super popping petals excellent eye catchers not too showy. Take good care.

[@dianericci325]

The roses are going to be stunning together…loved the tip of putting the empty flower pots to determine where to plant..👍 also love the idea of planting all Rockin the blue salvias as a border..I’m going to steal that idea from you. Thank you Jenny for a great video..learned so much from you today.

[@AMFM_918]

Man, that was a workout friend! Way to go! 💪🏼

[@shelleydavidson509]

Thank you for showing us how to plant and move roses. They are gonna look spectacular!

[@amyproctor9895]

I was so glad when I saw the name of this video pop up. I ordered 3 David Austin bare root roses, Lady Emma Hamilton. These will be my first David Austin's and I am so excited. I live in southeast Ohio, zone 6a, so I think mine are coming in a couple weeks. Great information. Thank you.

[@angietaylor5311]

Bless your little southern socks but we were yelling out to you that the wrong rose had jumped into your hand. Job well done Jenny, we learn so much from you 💖

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

😊 thank you

[@kathykaufman1244]

Love to start my day with your video! Now that I'm retired I can putter to my hearts content in the garden!

[@digsindirt4490]

Jenny - you made me LOL re the muddy packing slip. Mine showed up the same way and I thought to myself “This is a really good sign.” We got ours a few weeks ago in 9A, and they're budding like crazy. I can't wait to see yours in bloom. 🌹

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

We’re kindred spirits 🥰

[@alw5101]

Howdy Jenny- Jerry and GWCF! Besides Gardening what do y’all enjoy doing in your FREE TIME? And would you ever consider doing a potting Class for those who live near you? Thank you for alway being so driven and always sharing your beautiful family with us✨🤍

[@SouthernersGarden]

I have the Poet's Wife and it is one of my favorite roses in my garden. It produces tons of the most buttery yellow blooms and is super vigorous! Good choices!

[@carolnelsongerontologist]

It is so great to see how protective Brenna is of her Mama. Never wants to leave your side.

[@camicri4263]

Jenny, I was telling you it's the wrong thing but you didn't listen to me😂😋 Great video! Thanks for all the good info it's good to hear it even if you know..... Hugs🤗💞🤗

[@suannetoonk57]

I absolutely LOVE that you are planting The Poet's Wife. My sister gifted me a David Austin Rose last year for my birthday and I affectionately call her "Mrs. Poet". I'm in Middle TN, Zone 7b and have not yet pruned her so THANK YOU for this very timely post.

[@rb5402]

Good information with the planting of roses. I love seeing Brenna growing and keeping you company. Thanks Jenny 🐾🌹

[@kathleenberkheiser264]

I love David Austin roses and you have chosen some beautiful ones. Your garden will be glorious!

Good afternoon, Jenny❤️. Well done! You are a champion. Your perseverance and genuineness in the garden is very encouraging. Blessings for a bountiful season for you and all gardeners!

[@sheilaking6881]

We love you Jenny! And yes I sure was saying out loud.’ Girl you better stop and think! Lol Yes we do get excited when it’s finally time to be in the garden again! Love it!...It’s gonna be gorgeous!

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Thank you soooooo much I learned a lot and I feel comfortable to move my roses around:) tfs God Bless:)

[@gillianmuspic2337]

I was told to dig down as deep as possible to get as much root as possible. Doing this i transplanted a rose three times. Well, not the same rose. The original rose grew back in it's original spot and after a few years was big enough to try again. So now I have three roses

[@lornadunne526]

Standing for your shirt, love,y video, content, and host. Thank you so much!

[@bmoody82]

So smart to leave the bare roots together for soaking! I too separated them then struggled to get them all situated. I'll remember that for next time.

[@micheleleso1181]

I was yelling really loud about Susan ….guess you couldn’t hear me from New Jersey !!! Can’t wait to see them in bloom --how beautiful !! Hope to meet you in person in June - enjoy Spring!

[@bishop2b394]

I also got my first David Austin Climbing Rose last year and love it. When I plant my bareroot roses I dig the hole the correct size and in the middle of the hole I make a mound of dirt and set my rose on the top allowing the roots to hug the mound. This helps to keep the rose in place and helps with the difficulty of pushing dirt through the web of roots to fill in the gaps. I can't wait to see the new roses and the beautiful colors you chose in bloom. Can't get me enough of Brenna. God Bless.

[@shirlenehigbie5677]

Oh those are going to be soooo beautiful ..... hard work does a body good ..... !!! .... Hugs

[@dshel4]

I so appreciate that you show us reality in gardening! I have learned so much watching your channel. The most important lesson for me has been that it’s okay to make mistakes!

[@kathierogers3208]

This year is your high dive. Thank you so much for your information. Perfect timing.

[@nancybrowne7452]

Thank you Jenny....what a lot of work but so worth it!! I have a DA bare-root order coming and will use your method to plant some as a trio.....one of the DA roses I do have is the Poet's Wife....all the DA roses are beautiful and have their own personality but I have to say that the Poet's Wife is the most prolific bloomer! Enjoy! We appreciate your hard work and patience...it will be amazing.....

Great job Jenny! Hard days work so thank you for all you do for us!

[@MarilenaVazquez]

Jenny I love your videos. So informative and your entire family seems wonderful too!

[@gardensnob1]

Excellent timing! I have a DA climber I need to move. It was in sun, but now too much shade. The Bayer 3-1 is an amazing product. It would work better if the nut behind the jar was more reliable about it’s application. 🤣🌹 Looking forward to seeing yours grown on and bloom. 👏

Your hard work is going to pay off BIG TIME for this area! I can envision what this space will look like fully matured. Just breathtaking! Cherry tree, roses, hydrangeas, a fountain, landscape lighting and annuals….. anyone who walks beneath that arch will have to wear glass slippers to enter. 😍 wouldn’t this be a perfect place for hummingbird feeders? I think they’re magical.

I’m new to DA roses this season. You inspired me last year to give it a go. I have two of The Generous Gardener on an arch and a lovely Emily Brontë next to my back patio. Fingers crossed for a strong first year for mine and your new ones!

This was right on time for information on the David Austin Roses. I just ordered mine last weekend "Gabriel Oak". I had such a very hard time choosing my first one and this surely will not be my last. This one reminded me of being at my grandmother house. I will put this one in a very large container and will more than likely be buying a quite a few more soon to strategically place in my landscaping So so happy! Oh, and your home and the view(back drop of trees) is absolutely stunning, just stunning!

Very informative.

[@khaskin18]

So, 1. biotone in the hole when you plant. 2. land and sea only once when you plant? 3. And the granular fertilizer one cap full per plant, once a month? And who make the Rose and flower 3 in 1? Thanks girl! I just planted a bunch of roses! Not David Austin, but a nice road trip will fix that! I looked on the site for nursery locations here in Texas! I'd like to see them in person and bring them home right away! I'm too impatient to wait on shipping! 🤣

[@GardeningwithCreekside]

You got it! I do reapply compost once a year at this time. It's a great way to build the organic matter around the roses. If you check out our Amazon store (link is in the video description) then you will see both the liquid & granular 3-in-1. Have fun shopping!

[@MilasGardenChronicles]

Thank you for not cutting out the part where you realize that the wrong rose is planted. I was wondering if you were just mistaking the name and not actually the rose. Lol, good to know that kind of mishap happens to experienced gardeners as well, and that's ok, no big deal. Just dig it up and keep going. Nice work Jenny, it will be beautiful.
