I just discovered your channel and love it. I am in zone 6b. I have found a solution to the urge to deadhead in the fall is to just use your hand to help the faded petals off leaving the hips behind. Usually I try to catch the petals in a small trug or bucket I carry around with me. I think it helps my bushes look neater and I’ve lost the urge to deadhead late in the season.
Judging by the roses which I have seen over the last couple of years it is very, very difficult to kill them (unless one is a rodent such a European water vole, for example). My roses grow in extremely poor and sandy soil but with a little bit of regular TLC they perform without fail. This year I have seen a rose which grows in a crack in asphalt, nobody ever waters or fertilises it and it blooms anyway.
@@OlgaCarmody absolutely! It wouldn't be healthy for them to stay home forever, but still, life will never be the same. My aunt who is a Grandma and empty nester recently told me she has enjoyed all seasons of her life. May we all enjoy all seasons of our lives, even with changes that come.
This is exactly the video I needed! I was just standing amongst my collection of potted baby roses (all new additions in the first year in our new home) and wondering what I needed to do differently as fall arrives. I am in western Connecticut and new both to living in New England and to gardening in general. Thank you for your videos, Olga. They have been so helpful and inspiring as I begin to garden our new property. I even have three Lady of Shalott roses coming next week because of your videos. I am so excited for next year to see if they will thrive as much as yours has--she's simply gorgeous!
Oh, wonderful! New property is so exciting! And welcome to New England! Those Lady of Shalotts will do great! Are you planning to replant your roses into the ground? They really risk not surviving New England winters, if we get a bad one…
@@OlgaCarmody Thank you! My husband and I are on an acre with many mature trees and shrubs, including dozens of hydrangeas that are the legacy of the previous owner's mother, who lived here for many decades. We have no plans to ever move, so I will be the hydrangeas' caretaker for the rest of my days. I do hope to plant some of my roses in the ground next year or the year after. I'm admittedly worried about losing them to a harsh winter, though, especially since I'm just getting used to New England winters (having come from a much milder West Coast climate). I will overwinter them all in the garage this year and decide how brave I want to be next year!
Greetings Olga from Australia (east coast NSW) Thanks for your videos. My new rose had tiny tiny aphids, I was saddened by this, but then found your video on eradicating those pesky critters. Hopefully I have done good. Keep the videos coming. You're very relaxing to listen to and your roses are absolutely stunning and gorgeous.
Excellent tips for preparing roses for winter! 🌹 In my experience regarding rugosas, a colossal mistake people make in cold climates is treating these plants as if they're hybrid teas or David Austins; people erroneously hack them down during the fall unnecessarily, taking off flowering wood for the following year as well as neglecting to distinguish between young and old unproductive wood. Rugosas are fully cane hardy over winter and don't enjoy being set back by hard pruning in fall. This creates a vulnerable wound weakening the plant overall. They're best pruned before breaking dormancy in spring, using proper pruning techniques and treated entirely on their own merits. I've also encountered individuals who insist on controlling or supressing their rugosa's natural size by hacking them down during the fall, when all is needed is to select the correct 'dwarf' variety (ie: Pavement series rugosas, the Grootendorst varieties and others like Moje Hammarberg). Again, being mindfull of proper pruning techniques in respect to this unique species and its hybrids.
So true, I would recommend people to leave their rugosas off alltogether. NO persticides at all, those beauties don't need it. As for chopping them down, hm, you are so right, shapeless and damaged plants. Should I go ahead and create a special video about it? So many folds don't get it about rugosas...
@@OlgaCarmody Certainly create a video on rugosas. That group also includes species and any once-blooming European old garden rose. On the topic of pesticides, rugosas and the above roses are prime targets for Japanese and rose chafer beetles, which are extremely difficult pests to contend with. Depending on the severity of attack, hand picking beetles, traps and/or a light misting of insecticide spray is recommended. Many insecticides available in the US are illegal in Canada. Rugosas prefer not to be sprayed at all but will tolerate a light misting of an oil based organic solution or chemical insecticide, however; they tend to react to frequent repetitive drenchings. So it's important that one exercises caution and finds a routine solution that works for them, only if and when the beetle problem should prove overwhelming for hand picking methods. This is altogether a challenging and separate topic from preparing your roses for winter.
Hello Olga, thanks for your many videos, which are so helpful for me as a beginner rose gardener! You’re Lady of Shalott is a dream!! I watched through most of your videos but I am still wondering what do to with long shoots that have buds on the top? I bought and planted my rose beginning of July, but it was a spring 2021 potted rose. Now it’s been out in my bed for some months and does huge shoots reaching approx 1.1m. I want to keep it as a nice shrub. So go I cut them right down to the „baby“ level. Or do I leave them a little higher hoping the rest of the rose will grow up as well? The rose had Thread for shoots like this. Hope you have a great start into September! Many thanks and greetings from Switzerland (Zone 7b) :)
Hi Mari! Greetings from US. Sorry, I am falling behind on messages. As for your adorable Lady of Shalott. Yes, please cut those shoots down, since you want to keep your rose as a shrub. My LofS is huge too. As for the height. It is up to you, you want it high, trim it high, you want it low, trim it short. Happy gardening!
Thank you for the excellent & invaluable information! I especially appreciate your advice to allow the hips to form in place of deadheading going into the Fall season. I'm so happy to have found your channel & am now a proud new subscriber. Happy gardening!
Thank you for the great advice and helpful videos I'm looking forward to plant various large blooming and strong fragrance bordering my porch (entrance),...zone 9,any suggestions?...
I am certainly guilty of too much deadheading,. I'm a stickler about that with my annuals to get the most out of them. Didn't realize I shouldn't do that with roses. Thanks, Olga. (Nice to get a glimpse of your son. 😉)
😪 I was leaving for 1 month, and I knew they would not get great attention so I did fertilize them and now in Dec they are indeed still blooming..will they make it?? I brought the plant inside because it is freezing here now... it gets lots of sun still but because it's still blooming and many buds are opening..i did water it a little...help?
Hi I have a question so I bought one David Austin rose I received it around may or so . I received it nevertheless small but I think there is a problem.Because it has not grown at all it’s the same size as I received it no new growth but the 3small stems that it has are very green .Might you know what’s happening????
Oh, there can be so many factors why rose is not thriving. In my opinion, the biggest would be lack of sun, poor watering and bad soil. Or, your rose is just taking its time. It might be slow to grow in the pot. Another reason can be over loving, believe it or not. Try to slow down on stuff you give your rose and see...
I never gardened in warm climates year round, but I would think that the best time would be during actively growing/not blooming season, whichever that is for your region. Hope it helps. Thanks.
Do you do anything extra to protect your roses during the winter? I build up the soil over the crown (after the ground freezes to prevent the rodents,) and I wrap the entire plant…this results in all the canes staying green and a fast recovery from our zone 5b windy, freeze thaw freeze thaw winters. The year I neglected to do it…most of the canes died. It did come back slowly. Also… your specific thoughts about black spot and powdery mildew not to mention the continuous onslaught of aphids besides a good fall clean up??
You live in a cold zone, I am in zone 6/7 Coastal CT and my roses get just a small hill around their root system for winter. No cane die back for me, even for climbers. Our winters are getting milder. As for those diseases and pests, please check my videos. I have plenty on different rose problems. Happy gardening!
@@micheledeanna2609 I enclose the entire plant with a pliable plastic fencing, throw in chopped leaves and straw between the fence and the plant….then cover sides and top with burlap or frost cloth.
Thank you. I’m in Connecticut and am uncertain about just trimming roses at this time of year. October. Zone 6b. I worry that the roses will try to push new growth. Will the cool temperatures signal them not to?
Just wait to first several good frosts in your area. Roses will go into dormancy and your light trimming ( just for wind damage), won’t push them into new growth.
Do you clean up all the mulch under your roses every year? What do you do with the mulch/leaves when removing? That’s a lot of mulch/leaves for someone (me) with a large rose garden. 😵💫
Helpful video. I have 7 roses in my garden but I'm still very much beginner when it comes to taking care of them. I live in windy and rainy Ireland and I think it makes growing roses more challenging 😢
Q&A… South MS here. It’s Mid October. I have roses in pots. Would it be better to plant them now in zone 8b or wait until spring and then prune them back then. I don’t want to mess up there dormancy time by planting them now. I guess my question is, is it better to plant them in the spring or in the fall?
It is a general suggestion for folks, like me, in colder zones to plant in spring. And for you, in the fall. Roses have plenty of time to get adjusted to new place before the new growth starts. It is only a very marginal advantage. So, bottom line, either way it good.
I total agree - except the mulch - roses do better with no bark mulch. Better to put rose-compost or old horse manure on the soil in fall. Coffee ground is very good for the soil.
We just came back from a trip and stayed in a wonderful B&B with horses. I was looking at them and dreaming about all that free horse manure…. Funny what some people think, right?
I was just about to comment that some of us wake our roses in fall after letting them rest through summer because our climate is so hot and then YOU SAID IT 😁❤️ Nice video
Hello Olga! Gosh, I didn't realize you have a college-age son. You look so young and have a young spirit. I'm curious what I should do about some canes of my 'Therese Bugnet' shrub roses that have brown leaves, probably due to our drought this summer. I've had them so many years I forget about them. They've been so low maintenance. Should I cut out those canes now when I can see which ones may be dead, do nothing and hope they will recover next season or wait until late winter because pruning now would encourage new growth heading into fall? Thank you. I always learn so much from your videos.
Hi Kate, nice to hear from you. I would wait, if damage is done, let it be, but if not, those canes will start growing, and it is not great for the fall approaching fast. Do your major pruning during spring ...
@@OlgaCarmody Ah, good. I thought so. TY Less work for me this fast-waning summer season. I can devote more attention to my weeding. Ugh! Pulling weeds has certainly filled my time outside. Sometimes, winter is a welcome respite from gardening and I can dream. Dreaming is less physical and ideally, cheaper. 😀
Thanks a lot, Olga for these pro tips . The leaves of my propagated roses (about 1.5 years old) turned yellow , even in the summer months. I wonder if I still can feed them now with a balanced fertilizer (or something with high nitrogen, but dilute to 1/4-1/2 strength) . Note: I live in zone 9a. I would really appreciate your feedback on how you fertilize your roses .
You should feed those beauties, if your rose suppose to continue blooming. Not sure which part of the world you are living in. I have a video about rose schedule, if you live in US -ruclips.net/video/WVGazZe1AJw/видео.html
@@OlgaCarmody Thank you so much, Olga for your prompt feedback. 🙏👍❤️ I live in the Bay area , so I guess I would follow the schedule for Northern California then 🙂
Thanks so much for all of your rose videos! I’ve been taking notes as I have 9 David Austin’s coming next Spring. Anyway, what is the link for the David Austin care schedule in the US? Thanks for your time!
Don't baby your roses. Leave them alone if they are in the ground. They took care of themselves for millions of years. They will continue to do so. Rodents have better spots than hiding under your rose bush.
Oh, those cute rodents are plenty in our residential area: skunks, rabbits, raccoons, moles, mice, rats.... And the list goes on and on. Natural predators can't have access to my back yard to control them. And here comes me, who loves healthy roses. You are right, those beauties took care after themselves for millions of years, but they do need help to survive in my back yard.
Thank you Olga, your advice has helped me with my roses. In the fall, zone 4a my rose do not lose their leaves and I need to pick all these leave in the spring. I put roses collars around them and fill them with mulch, I was thinking this autumn to fill these collars with compost instead of mulch. What do you think? How far down the stem should I cut back my roses as they are very tall? Great videos with excellent advice, I always look forward to them.
Hi Monique, people do all sorts of things as winter protection: old fashion soil, mulch, compost, leaves, pine needles… you name it. So, compost is fine, if you have enough of that goodness. As for roses. It depends on the type of rose: shrubs are more forgiving, I would hold cutting to the first good frost in your area and will do it for stems not to rub agains each other. Major pruning in spring.I address some of your questions in my latest video, check it out.
Hello Olga! I planted a beautiful Floribunda rose that was delivered to me by J & P in Sept. It came as potted and I followed the planting instructions. I am trying to provide the very best care as we head into late Fall/Winter here in CT. I am happy you have provided informative videos on general rose care. Is there any more specific guidance you can provide besides slowing down on watering, not deadheading, keeping soil around plant debris free, etc that I can use for this yound floribunda rose? I appreciate any comment you can provide. Thank you for your channel!
Hi Susan, I am preparing a video on general rose care during winter in 4 season climates. Best advise, not to overlove your rose! She will be fine, baby as she it. We all want to give our plants just that extra to help them grow big, the truth is those small baby plants take their "thinking" time first year or two.
@@OlgaCarmody Thank you for your reply... I was worried about my baby rose because it was quite cold and windy the past few days after a very drenching period of rain. I went out to check on my gardens and noticed that by rose has a peach-colored bloom that is absolutely beautiful. I take that as a sign that I planted her well and she is happy settling in. I will keep a look out for those videos!

I went out to check on my gardens and noticed that by rose has a peach-colored bloom that is absolutely beautiful. I take that as a sign that I planted her well and she is happy settling in. I will keep a look out for those videos!
where is the link to the map?
I am going to look into it and will fix the problem with the link. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you soooo much!!!
You're welcome!
Beautiful 🌹 roses
Hello. вы разговариваете по русски?
I do speak Russian. I am Ukrainian.
Can I transplant in September zone 5/6 ?
Yes, you can. Early planting in the fall will help your rose to settle well into new spot before winter. Happy gardening!
Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you! I will use thank you funds to buy a good new watering can!

Thank you, Barbara! Your gift will be well used in buying good quality watering cans! I use cheap plastic ones and they need replacing every year. Thank you!!
