Planting Bare Root Roses in our New Garden Beds ⭐️ Proven Winners and David Austin Rose Varieties

Thanks for growing with us!
We have so many roses to plant! Earlier this year we were sent some bare root roses from Proven Winners. They have been hanging out in grow bags while we waited on the weather to be favorable enough to plant. In this video we take you through how we plant 25 of them! We are also adding our first rambling rose to the garden. Malvern Hills by David Austin Roses is going on our pergola so we have a very interesting planting plan to seamlessly incorporate it in to the patio area.
We are also trying out a new retractable hose reel by VEGO Watering. Follow the link below and use this code for a discount! GROWFORMEGARDENING10%OFF

Absolutely gorgeous!!! That creek bed with the roses was a brilliant idea and I can’t wait to see it blooming soon. I appreciate the idea of the rambler rose in the gravel and am going to try something similar myself!! Thanks as always for the inspiration. I hope you take some time to sit and just enjoy the beautiful space you are creating. Take care ❤

[@growformegardening]

Thanks so much! I think it's going to be really cool over time when the canes get bigger

Whew! That was a lot of work! Better you than me, LOL. But seriously, great call on adding the At Last roses between the Limelights and Monty; that apricot color against the blue of the spruce is going to be stunning!!

[@growformegardening]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Carl-iw9sy]

Thanks to your feedback about mulching with compost I ordered 8 yards of it and I think it was a great decision. It's easy to work with, has not run off with rain, looks great and feeds the plants quicker! I have two neighbors that asked me about it and now are planning to order some for themselves. Thank you.

[@growformegardening]

That is wonderful!!! In the areas where we have used it for a few years there is a huge difference when we plant...you can see the change pretty deep in the native soil

[@ElizabethRival]

I appreciate you guys commenting on how difficult those augers can be to handle. Mine kicks my ass every time I use it, but I thought it was just me.

[@growformegardening]

Oh no. They are awful

[@kathymeyer6086]

I'm new to your channel & I love watching your videos. I watched your video on pruning hydrangeas & realized that i should be giving mine a better "haircut". Now I'm thinking I need to add some roses to the garden. But since I'm in zone 4b it will have to wait awhile. Thanks so much for sharing your garden & giving me the encouragement to change-up my gardening practices. Looking forward to watching more.

[@growformegardening]

I really appreciate that.

[@user-rp6bb2fz6o]

I agree with the other comments. You both are amazing in your planning and attention to the garden. I am so looking forward to forward to seeing everything bloom as you both share your garden over the next several months. So enjoy watching your videos.🌸

[@growformegardening]

Thank you so much!

[@belindam3797]

What a productive day! I love how considered you both are with your planting and placement in the garden. I think the rambling rose growing up over the pergola is going to look stunning!

[@growformegardening]

I can't wait to see it

[@lynnthorson1349]

You guys need one of Laura's kneeling pads! You have inspired me to make a dry creek bed at the bottom of my downspout. Beautiful plantings!

[@bryanndusharm7743]

Hi Eric & Christopher! Happy to have found you “neighbors”. Watching from Syracuse. Last year was my first experience with bare root roses. Two Generous Gardners from DA and this year, I added Vanessa Bell to the party. Happy Gardening Season - We made it through winter!!🌹🌸🌼

[@growformegardening]

[@ineedmickey5170]

Christopher “We have 5 At last roses…” Out of sight Eric. “6” Christopher “6 I am sorry” This was so funny!

[@growformegardening]

Gotta keep each other on our toes!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

I cannot grow Proven Winners Oso Easy roses in my garden. I have tried 5 different varieties with the same results. After the roses are planted, they begin to go downhill. If I dig them up and plant them in pots, they rebound and do fine. I have two in pots right now, and I am calling it quits on the Oso Easy roses. This process has gone one for at least 4 years, so I have tried. I am disappointed that I cannot grow these pretty roses in my zone 8b garden. I live on the southeastern NC coast, and I think the soil has more salt than the PW roses can tolerate. I can grow knockout roses and drift roses without a problem, just not PW roses. I'll just enjoy yours on video.

[@growformegardening]

That stinks. Soil composition makes a massive difference

[@christophertaylor9826]

Excellent tutorial of planting roses and drip irrigation.

All in the same day? Bravo! The auger did its job, but you’d be even so much more efficient with a new drill for it, I hope that’s in the future for you! My favorite project of the day was the collar of protection for the patio rose! Love that idea!

[@growformegardening]

oh yes it was too much. We are out of practice!!

[@vickivance4614]

You guys are awesome you did a great job! Love the music choice that you had for doing the planting. Have a great weekend guys.😊

[@mercury_rising]

So much hard work! But it’s going to look beautiful! Can’t wait to see Malvern Hills grow up and around that pergola 😊

[@growformegardening]

Can't wait!

[@jacqinthegarden]

Gidday. Love your channel. Can i suggest to make you dry creek bed more realistic that you remove some of the middle rocks to create a hollow down the centre. A more concave shape. This would make the whole aesthetic more convincing. Watching and enjoying from Melbourne Australia.

[@growformegardening]

I agree that it would help the look...but the bed is actually on more of a slope than it might look like on camera.

[@kristinep9023]

I love those roses. I live in Oxford, MI. The gravel capital of the world. So, I find a decorative rock with every hole I dig.

[@growformegardening]

Oh goodness

[@jacquelinelockett]

Perhaps you should’ve planted a Clematis vine along with the climbing rose so they will grow together.

[@growformegardening]

It was a consideration but we have that effect in other places and we want this rose to shine on its own

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

I have cleaned and applied sealer to my decorative rocks so they have a wet look all the time. LOVE the dry bed!

[@growformegardening]

ooh good idea

[@wendymckee6627]

It’s funny. Here in the U.K. we don’t really have the open spaces like u do in the back gardens like you do for the deer just to wander in. I assume there is a reason the fence doesn’t just go all around the entire garden to keep out deer and bunnies? Love seeing how different things are done in different countries.

[@growformegardening]

We actually wanted to keep the back open for a more natural look. Not to mention the large price tag!

[@melodyaguiar8051]

I can’t wait to see these roses in bloom!

Thank you for watching!

[@Anne-rl2mg]

The way I "ooooooo'ed" aloud along with both of you as the rock was washed clean 😂. I just planted 11 bare root roses in 5b Illinois, and it was relaxing to watch someone else doing the same work as I sipped my coffee. Stumbled on your channel recently and have been enjoying, thanks for sharing. My favorite perrenial companion to roses is gaura sparkling white - looks like whirling butterflies in the garden and blooms all year. I cover mine with leaf mulch in the fall and they all come back stronger the next season. I was watching a french real estate show once and there was a chateau that had hedging of gaura and boxwoods at its entrance gardens and it was stunning.

[@growformegardening]

Eric loves gaura....I think it would be really nice to plant in between the Crema for the first season until it fill in!

[@casandradickinson8518]

Good morning Eric, and Christopher, the roses are a wonderful addition to your already gorgeous garden, can't wait to see them in bloom😃Congrats on your 10k subscribers, you deserve it and more.

[@patboyle267]

Wow! You guys did a LOT of work 💪👏👏👏 how exciting to anticipate the color and growth of all those roses yay!! Just a suggestion you may want to consider power planter augers I think they may be easier to use than the one you showed in the video 🤷‍♀️😊

[@growformegardening]

haha we don't use it nearly enough to justify the cost

[@mifasola1]

I love David Austin roses and I have the Malvern and it's doing well. I swear I've spent lots of $ this year on my garden. I keep thinking each year I won't spend as much as the previous but that doesn't happen. But really, you guys must have great jobs because if I had your money I'd throw mine away.

[@growformegardening]

Well it is our hobby and we absolutely love it. We do put a lot of our resources in to it

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

@19:00 Save the daffodils! I was thinking that same thing before Christopher said it! WHEW! I can't tell you how many plants I have broken or crushed due to hoses.

[@growformegardening]

[@raymarch3027]

As a long term gardener, I know many of us have problems with bare root roses. In fact in Tucson many of the best would grow on the bare root roses for you because of the failure rate/ I just ordered some from D. Austin and only one looks alive.

[@growformegardening]

We were careful to inspect for signs of growth. Some of the varieties were very far behind

Good morning! Interesting video this morning showing the different planting techniques for the different roses. I love roses too, but have limited them in my garden due to the very humid summers we have in MD. Do you have any issues with black spot or fungus up in NY? Do you do any preventive care on your roses to try to avoid those issues (other than planting to encourage good air circulation).

[@growformegardening]

We don't have issues with black spot for the most part. They have good air flow and most of our roses are newer plant breeding that are more resistant

[@kathypuetz6353]

you talk about compost instead of mulch and I like that Idea. How thick to you lay it and does it keep weeds down.

[@growformegardening]

Same as bark mulch. We use the hula hoe to keep weeds down and it really works for us
