Planting Potted Roses

Planting roses correctly will help them get off to a good start. Rose Expert Bill Dickerson shows how to plant a potted rose. Bill recommends getting your rose from a nursery in the spring. Preparing the hole is important and Bill shows how he does it by adding gravel, soil, fertilizer, and Epsom salts. He also shows how to plant the rose in such a way as to not disturb the young roots in the pot. Once the rose is in the ground he talks about mulching the young rose and about how to prune it.

My grandma asked if I could plant three rose bushes she just bought. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I said yes without knowing a thing about it, feeling prepared now.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Happy to help!

I got a mail order rose in the middle of the rainiest spring we've had in 20 years here in Kansas City. I was afraid to plant it because of the constant rain. On top of that, it arrived with black spot which was quickly spreading on all the leaves and beginning on the stems. I took it inside where the a/c air was much dryer but it didn't like it either. I finally watched this video and did exactly, I mean exactly, what this gentleman said. I bought the exact same products. I also bought systemic and topical fungicide. As soon as I planted it, it took off. It kept raining but the black spot didn't come back after the second spray of fungicide. It seemed to be energized by being planted. It is getting ready to bloom now a month later. I am amazed. I thought it was a goner for sure. Thank you and to this gentleman.

[@VanessaNessaAmerson]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I now feel like I can transfer my mom's yellow rose bush to the ground and get it out of the pot before it dies.

[@cathytorres3662]

These instructions seem so easy and doable. I'm planting my first rose bush.Thanks for the simple instructions.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Glad we could help. Enjoy the rose!

[@jessicandothings]

Thank you so much for this! Very straight forward. I’m going to refer to this video when I plant my roses at the end of the month. :)

[@johnmirbach2338]

tips or suggestions on the "ruth stout system" for gardening , please ✌😁

[@josweatt898]

What a nice way to be gentle to the plant's roots! Is it better to purchase roses on their own rootstock or on grafted root stock. If on own rootstock, do these need to also be planted high? I would like to know the varieties that do best here in the mid south. I am especially interested in David Austin roses and Kordes roses. I rarely find these available locally and have to order, although I would much prefer to purchase locally. Olive Branch, 7b

[@daisygolden429]

thank you for a great video! what did you sprinkle in the soil and the top dressings? thank you.

[@chloes504]

😊

[@SFBenjaminK]

I bought my bareroot roses from the home Depot Walmart Lowe's every year almost, just making sure they are thicker canes and at least three or four canes usually between $10 to $20, or if you are lucky Go to the Costco get those bearoot roses is number one premium roses 2 for $17 bucks, few years passed by all flourish all full of blooms great looking roses , instead paying $50 or more bareroot rose from nursery. But If you have deep pocket why not, would me the same shyt anyway just paying three times more

[@BACACHICKY]

So incredibly helpful!

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Thanks for watching!

[@deanjagger1190]

When I was putting my rose in the ground today out of the bucket. Most of the root ball broke of, I was easy with it, but I would say half of it was gone. I water the hole before and again once the rose was in the ground with horse manour packing the hole. Is there any thing I can give it to increase roots??? Do you put wax on the parts you have cut???

[@dwilliams8573]

I wished I had watched this video before I planted my bolero rose

[@nicoleoliver5255]

Any tips or recommendations for zone 9? I’m in a drought area of California, open to suggestions. Interesting how he cut the pot around the rose itself, great idea to keep everything together.

[@tracyp6849]

First 3 inches of soil should be kept moist. Not wet, just moist. Also in zone 9. Mulching will help keep the soil moist

[@VV-om8vv]

Thick mulch. 2-4 inches. Works wonders.

[@luanneashton1563]

Thank you so very much for this very informative video. You mention a fairly new product that has feathers, kelp, worm casings, micronutrients and some slow release to feed the rose plant. Would you kindly share the name of the product? I can't wait to transplant my roses here in PA Zone 7A. Again, thank you so very much! Hope to hear from you soon!!

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Thanks for the question. The name of the product is Miracle Grow, Shake 'n Feed, Rose & Bloom.

[@brkfstinbed]

Can I use this same method if using a planter bed ?

[@margieest7424]

Dang I wish I too would of watched this video before planting my roses. No wonder the flowers are small they are in a partial shade.

[@continuousself-improvement1879]

How did you get the stems to grow so thick, though?

[@xXLunatikxXlul]

Is it okay if mulch or soil are on the top of the rose's base?

[@MidnightOwl99]

When do you start fertilizing and what kind of fertilizer?

[@sharonblac]

I use 1 tablespoon epsom salt to gallon of water and it makes them happy!

[@gradyrogers6707]

No attention to soil packing in front at about 4 o clock. I'm so ocd about that

[@rabiasiddiqui8081]

thank you so much I want to ask you can we transfer the rose bush without trimming the branches

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

If you are moving the plant from one place to another you will cut off some of the roots. By pruning the top you keep the roots and top balanced. If you were to move it in the fall you might be able to get away with not pruning as it would have time to grow new roots when the weather is cool. If you are going to transplant it in spring or summer you should probably prune it.

[@rabiasiddiqui8081]

@@FamilyPlotGarden thank you souch dear very useful info

[@idkwhattoputherebuthi153]

I just bought a mr Lincoln rose from Lowe’s in a pot, hopefully it does well!! Any new tips?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

This video basically covers it. If you live in a humid place you will probably need to spray with a fungicide to avoid black spot. This video has some more information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gouXaHdtq9mhebc. Enjoy the rose!

[@samueljaramillo4221]

I don’t have any luck with roses.

[@L3TITBE]

Thank you, I have epsom salt but it's lavender scented, will that be ok?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Hey, malathion is the best product, but a good substitute is Permethrin. Read this Mississippi State Extension Service Article. It does a great job explaining different pests and different methods of treatment: extension.msstate.edu/publications/disease-and-insect-control-for-homegrown-peaches-and-plums This Family Plot video, on Common Peach Tree Diseases and Insects, may also be of some help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4PYY553pbOaZqM

[@kayreid9921]

Mr. Bill, Could you tell us the name of the top dressing that has feathers and other things in it. You mentioned this in the video but not sure of the name so that I can order it. Thanks. Kay Reid

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The name of the product is Miracle Grow, Shake 'n Feed, Rose & Bloom.

[@rspruill1422]

I'm confused you said that the bud needs to be above ground but I just bought a rose and the instructions said for the bud union to be just below ground level... so does it matter you're growing zone?

[@stevewaclo167]

Wonderful video! A suggestion, however. Please wear gloves! A friend tangled with a rose thorn and ended up with a serious infection. 😢

[@wesjdevans]

What is the product you use for fertilizer?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

That fertilizer is Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Rose & Bloom Plant Food. This originally broadcast on PBS so we were not able to identify the specific product there.

[@MsSweetlove90]

Im in arizona Got 5 to plant in my retaining wall ..im scared it will burn to death, should i get shades?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

Hey, roses prefer morning sun and some afternoon shade. The hot afternoon sun could burn some of the leaves. If they do get sun burned, don't prune. Keep them well watered. There is a rose society found at desertrosesociety.com, that will have some great information to help with growing roses in your area. Also, here is a video about general rose care, that may help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXPZnptuiNmYfZo

[@nenanenica6783]

What's the name of that product that you put in your roses?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The name of the product is Miracle Grow, Shake 'n Feed, Rose & Bloom.

[@deemaverick987]

Can someone tell me what he is sprinkling?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

It is Epsom salts (Magnesium Sulfate)(MgSO4). That is available either at a nursery or big box store as a fertilizer. It is also available at any pharmacy or grocery store that has a pharmacy department. Make sure you get the unscented, pure variety. Pure Epsom salt is edible, so get the package that says you can eat it.

[@renmuffett]

Where are you and what is your climate there?

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

This is Memphis, Tennessee. Zone 7b. Hot humid summers, winters are not too cold. This rose is doing great after one year.

[@oanhnguyencuocsonggiainhte7175]

hi how are you what kind you put around flower 🌼 can you tell me the name please 🙏 thank you

[@bassclass5998]

I HAVE to have this hose props. This video should be called, "When white Oklahoma farmer thatts as old as the dirt hes growing in makes middle-age black host uncomfortable but he's professional." 😂😂. Naw, but seriously. Well done to the host. You can hear how uncomfortable this entire interaction is for him.

[@Saahib_K]

Why cant the graft be below the ground...plant is safer that way, resist cold and can develop own root over time.....never understood the logic behind keeping the graft above the ground, so vulnerable to weather especially cold, if your graft is damaged, your rose is gone and be keft with that 5 petal wild rose from the base.

[@FamilyPlotGarden]

The graft is susceptible to rotting if it is underground.

[@seanmoore9878]

He doing way too much
