Major MISTAKES in caring for First Year ROSES in the garden

Care of "young" roses (first year) in the garden is different from well established plants. There are many mistakes people do: they don't water, push blooms, trim, don't support.... Olga is looking deeper into the life of young rose and explains how to care for them.

I love how you love your garden, makes my heart happy. Enjoy all your videos.

[@sweetfolly9428]

For many perennials I follow the old adage "First year they Sleep, Second year they Creep, Third year they Leap" :) Love the garden tour videos, and I'm enjoying watching your space grow and change. Thank you !

[@OlgaCarmody]

You are welcome, yes, totally agree, garden needs patience. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@lettyzane2720]

I feel you are a kindred spirit Olga. Your excitement for new projects, pride in your skills, and enjoyment of every corner of your garden are all feelings I share in my own Southern California garden. Really enjoying all your videos

[@OlgaCarmody]

:) Thank you!

[@HoustonKeith72]

This video really helped me take some deep breaths. This is my first year with roses and I live in very warm very humid Houston, which I know is challenging for many roses. So I’m keeping my expectations in check and doing what I can to support the roses through their first year.

Great video. Thank you!

[@lucielaurier8206]

Fabulous video! Thank you! I've made every single mistake possible in the first years. Wish I had seen this video way back when! After a few years my roses are finally doing well.

Дякую за відео. Ви розповідаєте як вчителька яку хочеться слухати і і слухати.

[@09scarecrow]

I've read that you can even trim the buds off of new roses to make the plant work on developing itself rather than directing energy into that bud. I never want to do this because I'm always so excited about my new rose, I want to see its flowers!

[@michelletapsell7507]

Thank you, Olga. Very useful information I will apply to raising my first year Lady of Shallot. I am so eager to see how she fares next year.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hey, you got Lady of Shalott! Hope it will overwinter all right and will give you some blooms next year! Happy thanksgiving!

[@carmelogorman3336]

thank you. I planted a climbing rose this year, Compassion, will lay off fertilising in spring/summer and fingers crossed after that. I also have back breaking clay soil. Planting a new rose is a big deal!

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

I planted around 10 new roses this year. I´m so excited to see if all of them survive our hard Swedish winter and how they´ll do next year! Thanks for yet another interesting video!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Wonderful! Best of luck with your roses!

[@leshamonk9311]

Thank you! You provided excellent information.

Yes! Thank you for all this good information! I’m a growing gardener.

[@user-zg9cn9xf9p]

Hi Olga! I appreciate very much your videos and all your work!!! I especially appreciate your Lady of Shalott rose and the fact that you planted two roses of the same variety so close to each other that when mature they look like one but richer. It is also the recommendation of those from David Austin that when planting roses in this way, it is ok to overlap them to half of their mature width. I wonder if this proceeding works only on english shrubs roses or could also work in the case of hybrid tea roses for instance. I have a very beautiful variety of hybrid tea and I wonder if it's ok to plant two or three so close to each other.

[@OlgaCarmody]

I don’t see the reason why not to plant hybrid teas close together if you have disease resistant roses. If your roses are somewhat sick, then air sirculation is more important.

[@raminderjohar2586]

Hi Olga, I love and appreciate your style of presentation, you are so natural and patient too, while imparting your experience with Roses to viewers.I plan to plant David Austin Roses in our garden this Spring. When you say Baby Roses or Young Roses, do you mean Bare Foot Roses from David Austin as well? A well composted natural manure will do? No Soil improver, even if they are Organic?

[@OlgaCarmody]

By baby roses I mean roses coming into the garden from the nursery ( I probably shouldn't call them babies, since they are already 2-3 year old plants). But they are really badly pruned and root trimmed, so a fresh start in the garden is really slow, like baby steps. As for the soil improver. Whatever organics you have, are good to go.

[@vickidespretter2828]

Thankyou Olga. I have just planted my 3rd 'David Austin' shrub rose which my son gave me for Mother's Day. I have a small city courtyard garden here in the UK. Because the courtyard is brickweave throughout I have to container plant. Could you please give advice with regard to planting roses in pots? I am so enjoying your videos. Best wishes, Vicki.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hi Vicki! Thank you for your message. I have videos dedicated to roses in pots, please check those out. Maybe in the future I can create another video. What do you want to learn from such a video? I would be curious to pick your brain….

[@vickidespretter2828]

Thankyou so much for your kind reply to my query Olga. I will most definitely look into your videos relating to 'roses in pots'. I am just not too sure with regard to planting my new container grown 'David Austin' shrub rose into a very large container. I have one measuring 55 cm in width. I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Vicki.

[@amarofam]

I’m very new to roses, this year is my second one. I planted a Gertrude Jekyll rose last year and unfortunately cut those main stems. Also I wasn’t training them horizontally and they only grew tall . Could you show what you do in the future to correct that main stem you cut in the generous gardener?

[@OlgaCarmody]

Well, welcome to the enchanting world of roses! Don't worry about those mistakes, roses will regrow. You know now and will train your rose well for next year blooms. I will try to show the stems training in the future for you. Happy gardening!

[@bettyjohnson7762]

Olga, did your zone change? I'm also in Connecticut and my zone changed to 6b. I have three 1st year bare root David Austin, roses; 1 generous gardener in ground, and two Olivia Rose Austin in 24 inch pots, that I've surrounded with chicken wire and leaves.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Yes, I am officially now 7a! No more borderline between 6 and 7 for me.

[@chefscircle6133]

Hi Olga, how are the new roses planted last year at the front yard? Any update?

[@OlgaCarmody]

My new roses are struggling in the front, our maple trees are expanding their crown too fast and starting to shade everything in front. Too bad, I should have planned better. I am contemplating to bring all of them to the back next year….

[@heyjude6335]

I’d love to see a video and actual leaves of Dr. Huey. How can I tell I have Huey rather than the rose I paid for? Love your videos! I do have a climber that is doing nothing. I “think” I have Dr Huey as the leaves are odd ish

[@OlgaCarmody]

I just eradicated Dr.Huey from my garden. It has dark burgundy leaves when young. And the color of blooms are bright red. Beautiful actually, and sick to no end... and comes back from defoliation quite quickly.

[@spicyritas4795]

What is the name of the plant to the right of your roses? Is it a kalanchoe?

[@slporter722]

My soil doesn't have the greatest drainage. A bit claylike. Should I water less often so the roots are not sitting in water because the drainage is so slow?

[@OlgaCarmody]

Definitely, don't water your rose often. The blessed benefit of clay soil is that you don't need to water so often, but it will break your back during digging. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@slporter722]

@@OlgaCarmody Thank you for clarifying. I do deep water but will not do it as often.

[@ralph601]

Hi. I just planted two bare-root roses about five weeks and they are putting out blooms but the flowers are very small. Should I prune the flowers until the plant is older? thanks. Have a great day.

[@OlgaCarmody]

I would leave the blooms on the plant, your roses had good 5 weeks in your garden, let them do what they want.
