I’m in MN zone 5, formerly 4. I have a few rose plants that are still quite young/small. They are all zone 5. I thought about putting them in my yardistry greenhouse. I don’t know how low the temp will be in the greenhouse yet for winter. I’ve been told the greenhouse isn’t the place for roses??? I’ve had some in my unheated garage, and some of them never returned after the winter. Thanks

Thank you for an awesomely informative video!!! I just purchased my first Eden climbing rose and I know it's not a good time to plant it, hot summer, but praying it thrives and loves it's new home on our garden fence.🙏💞
Hi! Don’t let the summer heat stop you from planting roses in your garden! The key when planting or caring for roses in warm weather is to make sure you properly water your roses. Provide 1 to 2 inches of water per week per plant. Ground-level watering, early in the day, is best. If the weather is warmer you may want to increase watering. Soil, temperature, and surrounding plants affect how much water a rose needs. If the soil is sandy or the garden is hot, dry, or windy, more frequent watering may be necessary. If your soil holds a lot of moisture, be careful not to overwater as too much water can promote root rot. During extremely hot weather give them plenty of water. With new, young plants, some type of shading using cardboard or shade cloth would be helpful. Take care not to let them dry out. Our greenhouses, on a hot summer afternoon, will sometimes reach 125 degrees with no damage to roses as long as they get plenty of water. While roses love water it is good for them to go one or two days without it. This reduces the risk of over-watering and disease. You can view more tips on properly watering your rose here: heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/watering-roses I hope that is helpful. Please reach back out if I can answer any further questions and thank you for choosing Heirloom Roses!
So - if I purchased Eden climbers for my front porch to climb the two posts and across to connect eachother - it sounds Like I should have picked something else? Because the roses will only be at the top since the main canes would be traveling vertical? What would be an ideal climber for my application?
Hello! Don't worry, your Eden climbers will work well for your situation. Allow the canes to climb the posts, and then begin to train them horizontally. You can use twine or other ties to help hold them in place as you begin to train them horizontally. Eden will produce more blooms along the horizontal canes, but will still produce plenty of blooms on the vertical canes.
It will be best for the rose if they are only pruned heavily in the late winter or early spring. Additional light pruning or deadheading after a flush of blooms will help promote growth, but you shouldn't prune heavily outside of that late winter early spring window.
Thank you so much for relieving my mind -- I am very, very new to growing roses, and I was all worried when I saw this happen to the very first rose I ever purchased, and I was so worried that I did something wrong. lol!! I cannot thank you enough for all your instructional videos, and tips. Heirloom has been my go-to you tube channel to learn everything about growing roses. You have made this journey with my roses so much more enjoyable. I have four new Sister Emmanual roses being delivered tomorrow from Heirloom Roses, as well as some Mint Compost, Living Soil, and Aged Cow Manure and Founders Fish fertilizer -- I have bone meal and work castings ready to go, and thanks to your help, I and feeling more confident about my very first roses growinfg season, thank you !!!!
Yes! we have several other videos on our channel directed towards beginners that demonstrate planting, pruning, fertilizing, and other rose care specifics. We also have a variety of how-to articles on our website that go over those things as well. heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles
Great video.. I have quite a few climbers on trellis and wanted to start again to prevent rear trellis growth so when spring comes, they getting chopped :o
We strongly advise not to spray the foliage with the fertilizer. Instead it should be watered into the soil at the base of the plant with a watering can.
Hello! We recommend following the steps in this how-to article for treating blackspot. heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/prevent-and-treat-blackspot.

I'm really glad you let people speak in the language they're comfortable with! Man, honestly I keep falling more and more in love with this company. I've ordered 6 roses from you so far, but I'm planning on ordering another 20 when I get my irrigation set up for my main home, and probably 20 more for the home my wife's grandfather built. You're planning on putting Medallion out again, right? Because I will be ordering that one the SECOND it is available again The only other company I've ordered from is David Austin, and I only ordered from there because the ones I wanted weren't available from your site at the time. I am going to start gifting sets of roses to a friend once she picks her house out.
So happy to hear that. As for Medallion, we are currently growing that rose and are unable to give you a precise date of when it will be ready to ship due to the rose having to pass our quality examinations. We would highly recommend that you join the rose's waitlist because you will be the first to know when it is available!
Hello! We strongly recommend that you don't bring your roses indoors during the winter, as this will void your warranty with us. Instead here is a link to another video discussing how to prepare your potted rose for the winter months. heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/preparing-and-protecting-your-container-roses-for-the-winter
Hi, I just planted my roses in the ground and mulch them well as instructed. Do I water if soil still moist under the mulch? Or the 2-3 times/week watering rule for new rose still applies despite the mulch?
Hello! We recommend testing the soil regularly. You can do this by testing the soil with your finger to know when to water. If your finger is completely dry, your plants need more water. If it is muddy, there might be too much water or not enough drainage. Another indicator of too much watering is yellowing leaves that are soft. Yellowing leaves that are dry and crispy can indicate insufficient watering. If the soil is moist, that will indicate that the watering is just right. You can also use a moisture meter like the one we sell on our website, heirloomroses.com/products/3-in-1-soil-meter-1?_gl=1*3q97hf*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjwyJqzBhBaEiwAWDRJVBtKmTEqUpAkc97rRAGiHwnhiPjJmlt8h_PXUY2NWVCvBiasDrzgNBoCBXAQAvD_BwE
For a 1-year-old rose, it's generally not necessary to remove older canes. In fact, at this stage, your rose bush is still establishing itself, and it's important to allow it to grow and develop a strong structure. In the first year, only focus on removing and dead damaged foliage and canes.
I've ordered like 10 roses from you guys! I am looking for something that is light pink, or lavender, has HUGE blooms, and lasts a long time in a vase. Think like a pale version of the Abraham Lincoln rose Any advise? I love huge blooms and pastels.
Yes! I would recommend Compassion, Blue Moon, Poseidon, Purple Fragrance, and Quicksilver. You can find all of them on our website, heirloom roses.com, and if these roses don't quite fit what you want, you can use the filters in the search menu to help narrow it down.
@heirloomroses Oooh thank you! If you can think of any more large bloom roses let me know I have a bunch in my wishlist and once I get my drip irrigation sorted I'll be making an order for myself, gifts for my mother-in-law, and some roses for my grandmother's property
Unfortunately we do not have an updated video of this rose, but if you watch one of our more recent pruning videos on climbing roses, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iNfSaH5fLUM.html Ben goes over the pruning process on a different rose. That video does have a follow up video that describes how Ben's pruning benefited the rose.
I am in The UK and purchased Louise Clements as a bare root rose. I thought she was taller than 3 feet. At Peter Beales she is advertised as being 4 feet. Please can you clarify - as I may need to move her position. Thanks.
We recommend that you don't do a hard prune this time of year. But you can trim it back and shape your rose now to encourage new growth a better shape. When spring comes again you can do a hard prune of your roses and they will be beautiful by summer.
Hello! We recommend that you do not prune those offshoots. Instead, you should keep training them and building them up the desired shape of your rose. Once the yearly prune comes, you should only remove the canes that are growing across each other and are rubbing, along with old unhealthy canes. Over time as the main/leading canes begin to grow too old, you will have another "main" cane growing from the lateral growth or from the base of the plant that is already trained to shape and can replace the old growth.
Excellent video! I love that you explain what you're doing and WHY! ¶ SUGGESTION: in this video you explained your plan for future growth of this plant. NOW do a follow-up video of how THIS plant did in the next growing season. Add a link in THIS video description to the follow-up video. ¶ In the follow-up, Insert clips from THIS video stating what your intentions were, and then SHOW us how that worked out in the next season. ¶ As they say, "proof is in the blooming!" Again, excellent video, and thank you for your efforts to educate us.
We always used cow manure for our vegetable garden on our ranch. Dad would clean the cow lot and put it in the garden working it in with the rotor tiller. We always had a bounty.
Hello! When you purchase a rose from us, you have the option to add a stake or tag to your order that has the rose’s name engraved on it. The stake will puncture the earth in front of your rose bush, and the tag can be fastened around the base of the rose with a weather-proof tie. We understand that even the most passionate gardeners may occasionally forget the specifics of their plantings, which is why this stake or tag serves as an invaluable aid, ensuring you always remember the variety of rose and its precise location in your garden.
