Growing Cut Roses for Loads of Blooms this spring | On the farm Rose cleaning pruning & fertilizing

This week I show you how we grow our roses for cut floral production on our farm to insure we have loads of blooms come this spring. Roses can be tricky but with a few tips and tricks we have mastered it other then our Koko Loko Rose. What would gardening be without a few set backs and re-works. I am chatting about my new walled rose garden that was inspired by ‪@CogHillFarm‬ ‪@justdigitfarms‬ New David Austin's will be arriving soon to start on this project. !

I have a three-year-old Tangerine Skies Arborose. It is magnificent. But I am not a flower farmer, and somehow it has managed to thrive in spite of my lack of knowledge. Now you have shown me what to do in a way that is simple, not intimidating, and absolutely doable for me. Thank you!!!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Wonderful! I'm not really an expert, but I have learned through the years, and in my book, that's the best kind of learning. I'm so happy you are tagging along with us. Happy gardening ❤️

[@cathydavis6791]

I’m laid up in bed with a virus, but still able to enjoy gardening vicariously through your video. Thanks for posting!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I'm so sorry to hear you are not well, I hope you are recovering and able to get out in the garden soon.

[@Angfree]

I love roses and love when you share your roses!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Me too!!

[@dhansonranch]

WOW! 1000 roses! I would suggest the use of a cement mixer - measure out the compost for how many plants, add appropriate amount of fertilizer and then mix - dump into a wheel barrow and off you go, putting the amount on each rose. Just an idea. I tell ya, its a good thing I can't grow roses other than shrub and bush without LOTS of added protection - I would treat them those lovely roses the same as shrubs and lop them off 6 " from the ground..lol. Too bad about the hail storm. Thanks for the great information.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I do mix a ton in our trailer and we dump that way, it works well it just still is a ton of work. I love shrub roses, so easy and beautiful to grow.

[@carolhendley760]

I put in a few bareroot Lichfield Angels after watching one of your earlier videos on roses. I’m looking forward to seeing your beautiful roses this summer!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Wonderful! I just love them❤

[@charyssev4142]

I've just added Olive Rose Austin,Abraham Darby,Haley Westenra to my garden have a few more ordered,cant find Distant Drums here in NZ and I love it😒

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Ohh that sounds like a beautiful combo. Thanks for stopping by NZ

[@christinast6346]

My Koko loco didn’t make it through our winter. I knew it was a risk because it’s a zone 6 and we are in zone 5b. I did just pre order Honey Dijon and distant drums, so I am super excited for that. I also have 11 DA roses that should put on a beautiful display this year! Thank you for your videos I appreciate your time and you add such value to the community!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Sorry to hear that, I think that is why we lost some of ours and we have been really wet.

[@mtg333]

Your content just gets better and better. Cheering you on from a small farm in NE OK.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Well hello NE OK,thanks for the bust of confidantes my garden friend! KZbin has a big learning curve 😀

[@juliepodlewski9528]

Oh, those rose swags Jason and Tracy are doing should be beautiful in your yard!❤️ I can’t wait to see how they turn out for all of you!😁 I do love roses.🥰

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I am so looking forward to designing this space and look forward to seeing it grow up.

[@pinetreesnflowers101]

Oh no, I got a koko loko after watching your previous rose videos! I hope it does alright. I’m in 8b portland. Thanks for the helpful tips :)

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

You will be fine, ours did great till this year so about 5 years and I think its due to us just getting to cold this year.

[@petefredrick3784]

The roses are gonna be so beautiful! So jealous! I was fertilizing my hydrangeas with Hollytone and my dog was following behind me eating the fertilizer! Ugh!

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Dogs are so funny, they lust love the stuff.

[@ElderandOakFarm]

My Koko Loko didn't come back this year either 😞 not sure why... I think we got too cold. I'm zone 6b but we usually don't get that cold. If/when we do get cold, it doesnt get much below 20 & if so, it's just for a couple of hours during the night.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I think my issue was to cold and wet and they are about 5 years old

[@marm2371]

I really enjoyed your video. What do you use to combat the Japanese Beetle? They are so destructive. I used the beetle bag but yes they did go into it however, lots of them annihilated my rose. I have planted an additional 12 roses this year and it was a big investment for these David Austin roses and I will be dammed if these little pains destroy them.

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I do spray one to two times of year but most of our roses do fine without spray. I find the white are the worse ones. Pray really early in the morning before the bees are out or late in the evening if you choose to do so, you can also use an organic spray but sometimes that can be worse because you have to do more offend. I'm not an expert on it, you just have to do what's best for you.

[@marm2371]

@@crowleyhouseflowerfarm No these pests will need more than organic stuff. Which spray do you use?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

I use a product called Closer SC, but you can get over the counter sprays from BioAdvace that work well.

[@anitagrays3457]

What variety of rose are best for cutting? Im seeing many Hybrid tea, grandiflora and then the David Austin shrub. Any advice is appreciated

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

We use all the different types of roses in designs, but it depends on what it is for. If it's gorgeous a wedding, we can use more short-lived roses or more delicate looking ones, but if it's gorgeous a mixed bouquet, then we would use something hardier. On Dave Austin roses, they have a list of ones best used for cutting. Pope John Paul is one of our longest lasting blooms we have on the farm as far as vase life.

[@anitagrays3457]

@crowleyhouseflowerfarm Thank you. I am researching the different types- mostly for mixed bouquets at this point. I see Queen Elizabeth, Bolero and Bonica on a wholesale order list. I'll definitely look for some of the others you mentioned.

[@minaxiong5584]

What dormant spray do you use? & when?

[@judymckerrow6720]

Having to compost and fertilize 1,000 roses I would probably buy a cement mixer to mix that all together. 🌷💚🙃

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

Great idea!

[@ElderandOakFarm]

My Koko Loko didn't come back this year either 😞 not sure why...

[@conniemurray9046]

How do you keep the deer out? I lost all my tulips and some of my rose bushes from deer this spring

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

We have a hedgerow around the farm that I think keeps them out. I do see deer in one of our field in fall and winter but not in summer 👍

[@kendastaudenmaier3689]

Do you trim back one year old rose bushes or do you wait a couple of years before you trim them back?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

You want to just tidy them up, take out all the old, disease, and crossing branches, and just shape the rose. Just don't get too vigorous.

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

I have bought 50 roses in 18 months, koko loco never grew . I will move her to shade area .

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

That is going to be so beautiful ! Happy growing

[@deborrahdutra5599]

❤😊

[@Creekside_Cottage_Garden]

how much do you charge for a bunch roses?

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

2.50 to 4.25 a stem depending on verity and demand.

[@tinyhomestead6023]

Oh my goodness 😢 I'm a 1st year flower farmer starting from scratch. It's very challenging to watch because I haven't been able to purchase rose bushes yet. 😢😢 Is there any chance you could gift me any roses that you haven't burned yet? I'm certain that I could baby them!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@crowleyhouseflowerfarm]

The koco locos we are taking out are dead, but I might have a few others that I could ship you. Thanks for hanging out with us.

[@shelleyrussell6447]

I love hanging out with yall and sharing your videos with my friends! If you are able to send some I will definitely do an unboxing video and send my subscribers to watch your videos. You are definitely the best! 💞🌹
