You are my favorite of all garden videos….. dry informative and to the point…..I guess because I have about 15 roses in my garden and it’s mixed with perennials and annuals

[@MACandGEEZE]

I’m new to growing roses (I’m a hosta freak) but I’ve jumped onto your channel and loving every bit of info in your videos and the no nonsense way you present it. Very educational, so thanks. I’m a big fan.

[@yandexuk]

Me too. A very good channel. Keep it up. I really appreciate your advises

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks so much!

[@lrussell6032]

Thank you so much for doing these monthly rose care videos! It is so helpful to me because I’m also in Zone 8 in the Pacific Northwest. It was confusing to know when to prune, if I have to remove the foliage, and what pesticides to use. You’ve made me feel way more confident and excited about growing my roses 😀.

Hello Jason. Bambi and friends helped themselves to the “buffet” in our yard last week. Chomped my Rose bush back almost in half. It’s a tough as nails bush but if the temps really dip down, I’ll cover with frost cloth. Your videos are always right on time and so helpful. Thank you!

[@frankiepatterson6554]

I was just looking at my containers earlier today. Unfortunately, I don’t have a garage so they’ll have to tough it out. Zone 8b

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

At least it's a relatively mild climate. If you've seen a cold winter wind in past, you might consider moving the containers even just to the leeward side of a fence of building to cut down the severity of it.

[@tockalot]

Woot November

[@marydrew3568]

Pruning down the big canes tomorrow here in Oregon's willamette valley. Thank you Jason for this video with great content as usual. I usually hill up the base of my roses with peat moss for a little winter insulation. This is something my grandma taught me to do. In the spring, I just take a garden hose and spray it off. Do you think that helps protect the rose against cold damage? I usually don't do a hard prune until early spring. BTW, did you see that Heirloom Roses is offering DA Evelyn again for spring delivery? I ordered two for my garden and am looking forward to adding it to my rose garden.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Mary. Sure, any layer that traps some air pockets around the base of the plant offers some level of protection - and in a milder climate, it's "just in case" protection. I heard that even DA themselves was adding Evelyn back to their spring offering, so I guess the market has spoken!

[@marydrew3568]

@ I'm a little confused about how patents work on roses. I thought that maybe Evelyn was old enough to have no patent. Maybe you have a video about how patents work on rose varieties.

[@MilenaSarneva]

Very interesting and informative as always. Thank you very much! Just one question - should we do one round of sanitation towards end of November when we clean up the leaves and do the final Winterizing? Or just one in early Spring after the pruning? Thanks a lot!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Milena. You'd base that decision on how much time and effort you want to spend on it. TBH I usually do this current round of pruning without any additional defoliation - letting the cold and wind strip most of it for me. If I get to February and there are still some lingering leaves, I'll strip those as I do my final cleanup, spray, mulch change and pruning. So for me, it's one time. If you had any particularly susceptible plants this year, and wanted to target those with an additional November defoliation w/spray, I'm sure there'd be some benefit.

[@deniseewert6372]

[@NusratZ2]

Hi Jason, thank you for your tips. All of your videos are great and informative. I have a question, the rose that you cut @1:12 in the beginning of this video, are you going to prune it again in Spring time? I have one rose ( Wedding Bells) it has similar long canes, so if I cut those long canes now, should I prune it in spring? It's been only 3 years with this rose. Thank you.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

In my case, probably yes (for the majority of established roses) I'll be at least touch-up pruning again in spring. Some will be a more detailed and aggressive structural pruning. It all depends on what they need. If your Wedding Bells is young, and you're still looking for it to size up quite a lot next season, maybe this fall snip will be enough, but you'll have to at least look and see if there's any winter damage to address after the cold.

[@CathyMastropieri]

Jason. I transplanted a climbing rose in October… dug it up and moved it to a sunnier spot in my garden. What should I be doing with this rose to protect it over the winter?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

You could look at any of the measures I mentioned in the video: hilling up soil to protect the crown, covering with a pot (or alternative - burlap, evergreen boughs, caged fall leaves) during cold stretches. I suppose I'd make the call based on its rater hardiness compared to your climate. Those super hardy Canadian roses generally laugh off the cold, but you might make more of an effort if it's a closer call.

[@TheSmiley84]

Do they need watering if taken under shelter? I have some roses in pots in the windowsill and never quite sure how much to water/if even i should. What method of feed do you like to give to your roses? Any preference?

[@tinamariehille9134]

I live in southeastern Michigan and my Abraham Lincoln rose bush has suffered from black spot for the last few years. I have tried everything and my last resort now is copper fungicide. Should I do it now or in the spring.

[@HinaMunnee]

can hilling be done with potting soil, mulch or compost?

[@tockalot]

So if my rose bush is developing black spot now I trim it down or leave it alone?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'd pretty much leave it unless you've struggled badly with control in the past. I find it's generally enough to let nature help with leaf drop, do a cleanup & disinfection before the new season. But if control was eluding me on a susceptible variety, I might be tempted to force a fall clean up & spray as well.

[@mikufukasaku7356]

Thank you, as always, for the amazing video. I apologize for taking up your time, but I have a question. I am thinking of refreshing the soil in my rose pots this December because a couple of my roses suffered in August, and I want to give them some extra care. In Japan, it’s common to aggressively remove old soil from the roots while the plants are dormant. Some people even wash the old soil off completely and replace it with new soil. However, I remember you mentioned in a previous video that you don’t recommend replanting roses during the winter. Do you have any recommendations regarding this?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Miku. I'd be happy to clarify what I meant: depending on the climate, there are better and worse times to plant or transplant a rose in the landscape. I usually avoid going too late into winter, when there's so little time for root development that it might be better to wait until the environment begins to warm again. I think the same logic applies to a lesser degree in containers, but even in my own mild climate I'd be inclined to hold of a major repotting to February or March, when I can count on some better temperatures to aid in recovery and rooting. There's always room for personal experimentation and local experience, so I definitely won't press the point too hard though.

[@mikufukasaku7356]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you, Jason! I appreciate your viewpoint. Yes, I've moved to the Midwest now, so it's even colder than where you are. I'll definitely need to take that into consideration.

[@1234touchthesky]

Great video! I have a few young roses I’d like to move. I know dormancy is the best time but do I risk losing a rose by moving it in November? I’m in zone 6b and we have a relatively mild couple of weeks coming up and most of my roses have not begun to shed their leaves and some are still blooming.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

At this point I might be inclined to leave them in place and then move in late winter/early spring (at around the same time as spring pruning). It's a personal judgement call, of course, but I'd rather tackle it when the soil is warming instead of just before it cools right down.

[@purplethumb7887]

I'm in Zone 10, so we don't get snow, and my roses have new growth since October (our "Indian summer," very warm to hot weather) and are putting out flower buds. Is this normal? They are potted right now, so I'm still watering regularly every two or three days. I've also given them very light fertilizer since they are blooming. I don't plan to prune until early spring and then put them in the ground. Does my routine/plan sound okay?

[@louisemackintosh4204]

Hi Jason, thanks for your informative videos. I have an About Face grandiflora (O Sole Mio/Midas Touch/Hot Cocoa) that I planted in the spring, near a 6’ wood fence so kind of sheltered. It has one 7’ shoot that I am unsure about cutting. I’d like it to have more than one tall stem of course. Niagara area so 6b or 7a. Should I cut it back? And can I take that stem and do hardwood propagation? If so, Would it be okay to put the cuttings in the ground where I would like them to grow? Thanks

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'd probably cut back a 7ft stem at this point, and sure, why not try for hardwood cuttings in the garden? Nothing to lose.

[@WenisTRON]

Great video, do you take the leave off of the roses you trim back?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I don't worry about stripping foliage at this time of year. If I'm patient, natural leaf drop in the cold and wind will do a lot of the job for me. In later winter at the time of spray & pruning, I'll remove any stubborn leaves & clean up any fallen around the base.

[@WenisTRON]

@ Ty! Love the channel.

[@tonihampton1572]

Why are some of my roses sending up 8-9 foot shoots? Even after I've trimmed them? I live in st louis

[@yandexuk]

Jasaon, i saw some advise on KZbin that roses llanted in containers must be feed only with liuid fertilizer because the granules might be intoxicating for roses. Is that true. I would trust you more 😊

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Liquid feed does make it easy to deliver the right concentration, but with some care you can use granulated, slow release or even organic fertilizer. It's not that the granules are toxic - but if overapplied any fertilizer can burn the roots.

[@stacybueltel6595]

Is there a place I can ask questions about my roses?

[@conniehaas1039]

Thank you Jason for your great videos! My roses this fall were attacked by Something that decimated the leaves. Just left left skeletons on everything 😢. Shall I just pray winter kills them? Or is there some application to prevent this next year?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

We'd have to figure out the pest involved before making any plan. There are a couple of pests that come to mind when you say the leaves were skeletonized. Japanese Beetle is one of them. Their cousins the Rose Chafers are another. The third is a Rose Slug Sawfly. Very different approaches to control these pests, so no one-size-fits-all application to solve the problem.

[@conniehaas1039]

@FraserValleyRoseFarm I am guessing Japanese Beetle. We are on zone 8b, Washington state, west side. Not far from Oregon. Only I have never spotted any insect on the plants. Knowing they feed during the day makes me think it is something else.

[@mariagillinson8527]

Hi Jason! My roses developed yellow leaves and black spot what would you recommend I treat them with especially going into dormancy! I’m in Toronto, Ontario

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'd probably let the winter weather help them along towards defoliation, and then treat with a lime-sulfur solution (which is widely available in Canada, usually through Canadian Tire or another hardware store) as directed one a mild and dry day when the stems are bare. You can wait to do this later in winter, just before pruning and leaf-out, or you can do it sooner if the opportunity presents.

[@mariagillinson8527]

@ thank you for answering my question, would that treat the spores in the ground?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It's pretty difficult to disinfect soil in any meaningful way. I see some larger growers have techniques with massive steam injectors or with some pretty harsh chemical drenches, but I'd place that outside the realm of what an individual gardener would (or should) do. Our best compromise is simply to remove fallen infected leaf and plant debris, replace any mulch, and move forward with somewhat "cleaner" situation. Realistically speaking, because the spores of common rose foliar diseases are widespread and airborne, there's little logic to fussing over complete disinfection or exclusion. It's more a matter of providing a relatively clean start to the season.

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

i put compost up on my roses at least a foot, in zone 5 because i loose them every year.... but i didn't spray with all season oil. Should i remove the mulch and spray, then put the mulch back up on the roses?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

If it were me, I'd likely just wait and treat them at the time you pull the compost off and are getting ready to prune for spring.

Does anyone have any idea about the expiration of the knockout rose patent in 2025 and what is a utility patent?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

The original single Knock Out is already expired. Double Knock Out I believe expired last year (20 years from application in 2004). A utility patent is usually for an invention rather than a plant, so it's not the same as a plant patent. It's possible for a big breeder to try to use a utility patent (unethically in my view) to prevent others from using their plant in breeding. I think Star did this with Petite Knock Out. Whole other discussion about why I think this is a dirty move.
