It’s late May, Zone 6b, and I am planting a nursery bought climber into a large pot for the summer. Can you talk more specifically about the fertilizing regimen, what to use and how often, for the day I replant and the rest of the growing season. Products I have on hand are Liquid Fish Fertilizer, Rosetone and Osmocote Plus Granules. The plant currently has small buds. Thank you.
This was all so useful, thank you. I'm making a hedge using climbing roses but they are in pots (needs must). So. I was worried if it would even work. I'm quite sad to hear, though, that they'll come to the end of their life in just five years! Is that because they're pot-bound?
wow = I am wondering if you have experience with Cutter Bees? OR do you know what is causing circles to be cut from my Rose leaves??? What is your advice on how to treat this problem?? Also, I planted 3 Austin climbers together........as they stated you can plant them 24 inches from each other = NOW after 5 years, they are one huge bundle......how would you manage this?? Can I cut 2 down to the ground, dig them out and move them??? I garden in Manitoba, Zone 4a.
I have a New Dawn climbing rose in a window box sized planter. The canes are well established on an adjacent lattice, so the plant can’t be moved. Any tips for surviving the harsh New England winters? I’ve thought of wrapping the planter box in fiberglass insulation and then with burlap, but not sure if that will suffice. Any tips?
How lucky you are to be growing roses in such temperate climate. In zone 4-5 Ontario, we have no choice but to hard prune tender varieties nearly to the ground because of winter kill. There are varieties that are fully cane hardy but most of these are non-recurrent.
Thanks for this I haven't kept up pruning the last few years and our Double Delight is 20 years old. I want to cut out all the old woody stems this winter. Should I? Or just remove a 20 year old rose and replant?
I see that you know everything about climbing roses and I don't know almost nothing at all. I was growing different roses when I lived in a cooler climate State. Now I moved to Florida where there is very hot weather especially in the summertime. My question is, what kind of Rose variety can take Florida's hot weather
I planted a rose in a large pot i use in the winter to decorate for the holidays. I put a wire frame in the pot, wrap it in pine garland and pine bows and lights. Is this enough protection for over wintering. The porch stays decorated all winter.
Thankyou for your lessons. What size pot is this you have? Its very large & Looks 50cm wide. I have bought 2 Perfume Kordes roses at bare root just now. Feeling blessed for that choice too.
Thank you for a great tour, I really like how you plant your bulbs in big nursery pots and then place them in fancy pots. I'll bet it is a lot less trouble after the bulbs fade for the year.
I wanted to do some potted roses this summer and was going to keep them in my garage but it isn’t attached. Is that okay still? I am in Michigan so it does get cold
Brad, Thank you so much for saying the date! YT makes it so hard, when it comes to gardening and flower growing, to know exactly when something is being done. "4 years ago" tells me squat! lol I'm new to gardening, in the last few years, and especially new to roses just this year...so thank you!! Also, I knew containers slow and stunt growth on some things, but I didn't realize climbing roses had a 5 year window. You've made me change my mind and I am now going to plant in ground, I want more bang for my time! Great content! ~Kelly
So, just to be clear (I'm a new rose gardener - just learning) the potted climbers only last 3-5 year then die and have to be replaced? Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Great information. In the spring I planted 12 bare root roses, now they are all dying. I’m trying to save them all. I find your videos helpful. Thank you.
