How to Plant Roses in Containers 

I've always heard/read that Rose's don't do well in containers. Turns out, I was using the wrong fertilizer. Thanknyou!

I just got cinco de mayo and put it in a whiskey barrel! My first container rose ever!

Great info on fertilizing potted plants. I noticed the granular fertilizer was not working on my potted plants. Glad I caught this video in time.

This was exactly what I needed to hear! Earlier today even I was having a hard time with where to put two roses being delivered, and this video crossed my feed right on time. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for your video. This is so helpful. Glad to now that roses could be potted in pots for those of us that are renters.

Thank you for your expertise on container roses.

Great tips! I've been waiting for a video on potting roses!. Thank you! 🌹

Thanks very much!

Great video. I just put roses in pots in the fall. They look good so far. Glad you mentioned the granular fertilizer. I can see your point on getting to hot.

I have some roses that are well over 30 years old in the ground, and I am planning to have my backyard relandscaped. I don't want to get rid of them, so I decided to take some cuttings from my three favorite bushes. The cuttings are doing well, and I plan on planting those cuttings in containers. I wasn't sure if roses grow well in containers, but after watching this, I now know.

I use the granular fertilizer for my potted rose that I grew from a cutting. It is doing beautifully, growing very strongly and quickly. It's fine to use the granular fertilizer as long as you don't overdo it (use too much).

I just placed an order: Angel Face rose. Waiting anxiously for it.

GREAT INFORMATION....AGAIN & VERY HELPFUL about the type of fertilizer which 4 all the years I've planted ....I NEVER KNEW & plant MY FLOWERS IN POTS so THANK U SO MUCH 4 UOUR TIME 😊

Thank you for sharing!!

I have three Golden Celebrations planted in half barrels and they’re growing great, but they have yet to produce any flowers. It’s the second year and I use fish fertilizer every four weeks (during growing season). Should I try a bloom fertilizer? Any ideas as to why they don’t want to flower? Thanks!

Hello! I just planted my roses with half organic and half miracle grow soil with slow release beads. If I’ve done something wrong please advise how I can rectify. Thank you!

Great video---I have many of your roses & while you are at the upper end price-wise, your roses are in the best condition of any company I've ordered from so far. I sometimes plant in the fiber pots so if I put them in the ground it will be a bit easier; I set the fiber pot into a larger pot WITH drainage (VERY important, as the fiber will start to mold sitting in water or even dampness). I think the fiber pot allows evaporation so the roots don't roast, whereas plastic pots do not. What I really need advice on is the maintenance of potted roses. Should I replace the soil after 2-3 years? I agree that liquid fertilizer is best, but when & should I vary between high N for leaves & a bloom fertilizer, or just stick with a balanced one? It seems to me that the potted roses are less able to handle cold temps (zone 8b, so not too much below freezing). Thanks for being my go-to rose grower.

You have rose blooms in your video! I ordered six from you thus far Julia's rose Francis Meilland Wedding garland Pretty in pink Eden climber Eden climber Crown princess Margareta I plan on getting Bathsheba and Princess Alexandra of Kent the moment they're available. I mean the very instant. I'm looking at which ones do well in pots because I'm absolutely unsure about where I want them to be permanently. Kinda just ordered what I thought was pretty. Most of them are climbers so I'm going to have a really really interesting time sorting where they're going to go.

I already have 3 roses (planted in ground) from you and planning on purchasing more for containers in next couple months. I live in New York (Zone 7), and was wondering if I need to store containers in green house for winter. Containers are currently next to the house on south side of the house.

So, I am waiting on mine (I ordered some Plum Perfect and Beverly). I couldn't afford the big terracotta pots and got some large resin pots with holes drilled in the bottom. Would you suggest making a reservoir to put under them? I don't want to over water by accident.

I just ordered climbing from your nursery through Amazon, please advice to use the same way to plant direct in the ground or first plant in the planter?

I worry about the roses getting root bound after 1-2 years in the pot. I read somewhere that grow bags help solve this problem because of air pruning of the roots. As a result, smaller size grow bags , like a 10 gallon one, is good enough to grow most type of roses - big or small. Do you think it will be a good idea to use 10 gallon grow bag in side 12-14 gallon pot ( to leave some air space between the grow bag and the pot ) for growing heirloom roses ?

I'm in zone 6. If I plant a climber variety in a pot alongside side my fence, how do I protect the bush in the winter months when it gets below freezing?

Can I start the new rose I receive in a pot and then transplant into the ground later this summer or wait until next season?

What size pot is the one you are using in the video? Im considering ordering about 3 container roses soon ❤

Hello, I recently received Plum Perfect and planted her in a container. She sits next to the back wall of my house, where she gets lots of sun. Is it possible to get too much sun? I am in zone 10.

I so glad yall exist and have this channel. I ordered some roses from yall about a week ago and as a total newbie i felt i had taken on a task well beyond my scope with roses. Coming across these videos has me feeling condifent and like a pro only after consuming a couple hours of info directly form the place i got my roses. I love this. thanks. edit: as confident as im feeling i still gotta ask. I have a raised bed container im going to put these in that has a to volume of 1 cubic yard. The bed is L 63" x W 23" by H 30". with those 63 inches would planting 4 different roses be too cramped? edit2:the roses i got were - Black Ice, Midnight Blue, Capitaine John Ingram, and Oklahoma.

can i use regular plain, inexpensive top soil from the hardware store and mix in some of this soil? im going to have 4 containers to fill and not the biggest budget.. i did order the fish fertilizer from you.. im so worried about killing my new roses! I'm new at this! thank you

I use 38l pots. Good quality soil filled with lots of leaves and fruit/veggie waste from the garden. Adding earthworms in the pots. That's the best slow release fertilizer out there. Good to water the roses from time to time with chicken poo and stinky nettle liquid. I'm having roses to eat the flowers or/and make a tea out of them. If anybody plants them just for decoration then yeah all this that I wrote doesn't make sense. Just go chemical from the store

Can you grow climbing roses in a pot? Thank you!

I've bough many roses from Heirloom Roses over the years.Where do you suggest buying large containers?

What about Happy Frog Potting Soil?

HI!!! I just noticed my regular ol rose I bought at Home Depot is covered in lantern fly nymphs. It hasn’t been looking too happy .. is this why?! I have 4 roses from you guys coming at the end of the month and I’m panicking! What do I do to keep them off my brand new heirloom roses I have coming?! HELP!!!! (Thank you in advance!). They will be in big containers..

What kind of soil would you recommend buying at the big store? That doesn’t contain granulated fertilizer.

@heirloomroses is it safe to mix composted manure in with the potting soil or should it just be used as a top dressing?

Can i bring my roses, in POTS UNDER GROW LIGHTS for our long winter November to June; 8 months!!!

Is Miracle-Gro a good rose food? What is ur suggestion?

Should I bring the container inside during the winter months?

I went really big with my pots. I could’ve started out with smaller pots to save on potting mix😅

Not sure your link for "roses for containers" works as intended.

What is the best brand of potting soil to use in container roses?

Is Water soluble of Miracle-Gro good for 1 gallon rose?

How large is too large of a pot for a starter like this one? I just put in a 15 inch. 😮

what organic soil do you recommend?

Jus t what I need in Alaska How about21/2 GALLON POT?? so I can move it . i am 80 I cannot move 2’x3” pot!

Do you sell tree roses?

Are there certain containers we should avoid planting in for future roses?

At the very end of the video you show the Earth Angel with some draping vines in the pot. Can you tell me what that is?

Ive been using granular fertilizer in my pots 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

I would put about 2 inches of pebbles on the bottom of the pot and get rid of the water dish.

The plant is too deep into the pot. You buy a big pot, and then lose about 20% of the space because you're planting too deep. A little below the line of the pot, OK. There's nothing gained by going so deep, and you either lose area the roots can grow in, or you got a bigger pot than you needed because where your soil is, it's probably two or three inches smaller than the top lip. If I understood, which I can't after gardening for 55 years, what you gained by being so deep, it would make more sense. Your reason was really poor and made no sense. Unless you are planning to put fish in there with them, and they need some room to swim.

Great video, do you have any cutting for sale?

I noticed that you didn't use the bone meal or cow poop is that not necessary when planting in pots? 🤎✌️
