Jason - I’ve researched the heck out of available content (podcasts, RUclips Channels, etc.) for rose channels, and yours is truly the best. I love that you alternate practical advice with historical references, imagery of different rose types, etc. You’re a great teacher and I hope you will keep it up!
Hello Jason, I agreed with Katie Reed. Thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge regarding rose 🌹 May GOD always bless you and your family my young friend.
I grow 8 roses in very large containers for the past 6 years and they are doing fine. I do top dress them every spring with fresh compost or manure. Thanks for the extra tips.
I've just been given a climbing rose plant here in England, UK called 'Pauls scarlet climber' following the death of my brother Paul. Therefore I am really keen to care and nurture it. This video was really useful and informative without being over the top. I am going to plant it into a large container and can't wait to see it (hopefully) thrive. Thank you
Hey I'm growing several in 5 gallon pots and they are growing GREAT...with pots you have the added advantage of being able to move the pot around to several different locations when the summer sun gets too intense....in in TN and have 5 in pots right now almost ready to bloom....
I wish I could LOVE this video instead of just like it - finally someone who supports my love of container growing hehe 😍 Awesome video with great information, thank you!!
At least four of my five in-ground roses have come down with crown gall. ☹️ I’ve been digging them up, throwing them out, and removing as much of the surrounding soil as possible to spread around monocots that are impervious to crown gall, mainly yuccas and agaves where I am. I will replace the missing soil with native soil, but apparently the crown gall bacteria can survive for years and I doubt I’ll be able to remove it all. So…looking into growing roses in pots! Glad that several commenters have had success with it.
WE got into growing roses in a big way while still in the US. WE had a lucky encounter one Saturday am with a Rosarian volunteer, a member of the the Rosarian Society sitting at a table at a nursery to give advice, such a happy day that turned out to be....the Rosarian Society is a great org for hobbyists. He gave us solid advice on which variety of the different colors grew best in Houston, TX and how to grow them in huge planter boxes. Now living outside the US I have roses I have had in pots 10 yrs....we spray insecticide, fertilize regularly, we deadhead and I have roses to cut for indoors all year. I am in the tropics but this can be done anyplace that does not freeze. This area used to have rose farms with cut roses for export to the USA, while the last nurseries were still here we bought their varieties so our roses are well suited to this climate and soil...we were assured by their commercial use. I have not yet had to root prune them....mine are now in 18in diameter 30 inch tall pots. THis area is volcanic fast draining soil we just added leaf mulch...no need to buy anything in this coffee growing region. We do a bit of top dressing each year.SUmmer sun we do water daily. I also have a magnolia tree that age in a pot a bit larger. I do root prune and repot same size every third year. It blooms well several times a year. I also grow bamboo as a potted wall for privacy all along a large upstairs terrace. These do,have to be repottted yearly and separated.
Thank you Jason! I am growing roses in pots and need to have wisdom in potting into larger containers. I don't know how I missed this video earlier, but wisdom found me and now I can make a better decision on pots.
So well explained everything about container rose gardening, exactly what I was going to ask and some more. Thank you so much. You are one of the few best rose gurus, Jason :)
Thank you. I live in the deep southern United States and without afternoon shade, my rose blossoms will wither. Plus it will require much more watering. I love your channel. It will be my guide all year long.
Yay Jason! I'm re-visiting this video and others you've gifted upon the world. This year I've experimented w keeping a Zone 6 rose (I'm 5), and a few others, in the cold greenhouse we built - I'm too new to growing roses with intention to really know whether my zone 6 rose will make it . The soil is frozen hard - I've watered during the warmest period a month ago but its been hovering within 20 of zero for a while. I'll receive SO many roses come spring that will stay in containers for at least a while because of your excellent advice. If only because designing a garden is complex - and arranging pots helps to envision the world that we are creating. Warmest regards Jennie
You are an excellent teacher because as soon as I go down into the comments to ask a question or see if there is an answer you move on to what I'm about to ask!!
I’m agreeing with other subs on here. You have quickly become my go-to-guy expert on roses. I’ve studied much and your common-sense approach just makes sense to me! I thank you Sit.
Making a recap Thanks for teach me how to do it, I’m proud of my 6 roses in containers from minis to climbers to hybrids your tips were fundamental for me.
Dear Jason, thank you so very much for sharing your vast knowledge. I have found gardening this season and because of your guidance, it is now a real passion of mine. Your way of clearly explaining things, thoroughly,thoughtfully, focused on the issue at hand, has been a wonderful resource for me in this journey as a beginner gardener. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank for guiding me on this journey. All the best. Sofia.
Good topic to cover. Containers certainly can increase one’s options, but in the end the 🌹 is always right. I put a Violet’s Pride tea rose tree in a large pot on our patio as a focal point. But the rose was unhappy🥀 for a couple of reasons. ( 1.)The patio’s microclime was much too hot a due south exposure with almost full sun-it mimics growing zone 9 or 10. (2.) Bugs made a beeline for the rose. Three different pests converged at once: aphids, sawfly and some kind of caterpillar 🐛. The rose was suffering so much I moved it out of its heavy pot and planted it in a shadier spot by some rhododendrons. It’s much happier now!
For sure - my 'Paul Neyron' was never ever happy in a pot, but does great in the garden. Maybe I could force the issue with a larger pot or better location (or more regular watering, if I'm being honest) but it pays to listen to your plants.
It’s great your Paul Neyron is happy in your garden. Does it have a great fragrance? It looks the sort of rose that might. You probably don’t want to have to resort to a forklift to move your container plants around. One of the benefits of container planting is portability. 🌱
It does have a wonderful scent, and the first blooms each season are ridiculously large, round, and quite easily mistaken for peonies. Very vertical in growth habit, and hates to dry out.
I adore roses and I have them all the time on my balcony.I use the biggest pot I can find for my roses because I know they will be happy,healthy and in full bloom all summer long.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Jason, IMO your spot in life definitely includes being a teacher!! We just need to get you appropriately remunerated for your talent & knowledge!!
Perfect timing! My favorite rose is Just Joey and I have one out in the garden. I bought a second to put in a pot in my front courtyard so I can enjoy her every day (and give her the pampering she insists on easier.) Dressed and ready to go do the deed and up popped this post. Just the "go for it" I needed. Thanks so much. New sub for sure.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm So fast, the soil was still moist! They look great. I really appreciate the care you took to mail them and the nice labels you made from them. I’m going matte and frame them all together. I’ll keep them by the entrance to our balcony/backyard. I’m working on plans to get more from your farm! Thanks again!
Brilliant advice. Thank you so much! I never realised I don't have to make a final decision on which rose(s) to grow in ground... I can just get the options and grow them in pots and see how I feel about them!
Thank you so much for this video. I always wanted to grow roses but I am unfortunately stuck in an apartment for foreseeable future. Now I have the confidence to go forward with my dream :)
Thank you for giving us useful information I I love watching your videos I am form London here the weather has changed a lot roses are not as healthy as they used to be before I follow your tips and I think they are really good 😊 thank you
Thank you! I have been growing Roses for decades...in various places from Mid-Atlantic to Maine. I am currently in Pittsburgh and planted a few Hybrid Musks and Climbers when I came several years ago, but it's likely I will be leaving the area in the Autumn. So anything I have bought this year has been put into Pots. Mostly Hetbs but also two plants of DANAE and one JULIA CHILD. They are growing and thriving. (PS) I only use Fish Tea as fertilizer and foliar feed ) The Roses already in the Ground will be dug up and potted. I've also grown Bay Laurels, Figs and Meyer Lemons very well in Pots. Including a Meyer Lemon that produced lovely ripe fruit in a Bay Window on a Maine island in Winter! Important to keep overwintering potted Trees and Shrubs watered - but not much! - during Winter. And I wrap them for wind protection as well as huddle them against a protected corner - the Kitchen Porch is almost a room...
Thanks for the details on your containers. A lot of people have been asking questions on how to overwinter, and I'm sure your insights will be helpful.
I have since checked out Pemberton and they are remarkable roses! I also visited The Huntington and enjoyed their collection. My daughter sent me (2) days in a row and both days I was escorted along by the workers saying "We're closing now";-) I never did make it down to the Japanese garden. We had tea the 2ND day and my daughter and mom found a shady area to be of more interest than the roses, lol.
@@portiaholliday8741 Many public gardens close, partially or entirely, for July and August. New Yoek Botanical Garden closes its Rose Garden. P. Allen Smith's Moss Mountain Farm closes entirely. Many others do this because Spring is the great Bloom Time, there's a smaller floral display in September, but either the flowers are finished for the year - Peonies, Irises etc. - or the Plants go Heat Dormant (Everblooming Roses). Also in extreme heat, the Gardeners aren't allowed to work outdoors - by contract. When I began as a Volunteer at Brooklyn Botanic Garden many yeara ago, one of my first jobs was to prune the circle of Pemberton's CLYTEMNESTRA around the Rose Pool in late winter. I fell in love with these graceful Shrubs merely for their form. I had never seen them in bloom. They became my most favorite Rose. Eventually BBG tore out these old-fashioned Shrubs which were planted when the Garden was newly built...they replaced them with the odious, scentless KNOCKOUT...But happily the old CLYTEMNESTRAs went to Antique Rose Emporium in Texas. And today I have 3 of these, cuttings from those old BBG plants, in my Garden. They're only 3 years old and suffered some winter dieback, but they are large and thriving now. This Spring they covered themselves in soft Apricot-Pink bloom. Even now in the heat, they are flowering well. If/when I move, I will dig them up and take them!
@@suzannederringer1607 Yes, my roses except Flamingo are moss, even South Africa is moss. You were smart to take cuttings. I am cutting and propagating EVERYTHING this year bc de the Wisconsingarden. Lynn propagated a lot de Montauk/Nippon. She helped me overcome my "fear" de propagating:-) I have been snipping my new growth areas de my roses rather than letting the deer snack on them:-) I am moving Swamp Milkweed around to more favorable areas today. It looks pretty growing among my seas de Queen Anne's Lace. I am also sowing MANY tall red cornflower seeds I got de Amazon.
@@portiaholliday8741 I love Moss Roses - those and Albas (if one has room for them!) and Gallicas and Bourbons and Centifolias. Also old American clinbers like SILVER MOON or NEw DAWN or - not American - VEILCHENBLAu. Again one needs ROOM. Two years ago I planted a small own-root SUPER DOROTHY - Improved German version of the old American DOROTHY PERKINS. My god. First year it was a big Shrub. Then last September it shot out 10-foot Canes. Overnight! I tied it along imprivised Fencing on a little Hill. This year - MASSES of rosy-pink blooms...all June long. I pruned it a bit when it finished, and it's growing again. Scary! I have lioved Queen Anne's Lace since I was a child. That and Goldenrod. I have some Goldenrod but not the Lace...I envy you !!! Seems like you are having a great Gardening year...
Thank you...wish I would have watched this before moving from store container to a large pot right away. Roots weren’t developed enough yet. My yellow tea rose went into shock in the new pot, but came back slowly after I cut back the troubled branches and flowers.
Thank you I'm a beginner. Great information I didn't know I could leave my roses in the planter and then put it in a pot. I always thought u had to take it totally of the nursery pot. Lol..thxs so much.🌷🌹
Talk about the right video at the right time!!! I'm reeling from a rose disaster.... So this info is much needed! I'm more convinced that the underlying cause has not been my tender ministrations ( fussed over like children!) but is some underlying fungal cause. Great advice! Liked, shared, subscribed and following your advice To. The. Letter!!
Hi. Am watching your videos and I must say that; I've got a lot of tips on roses. Growing, feeding, caring and controlling some of the common problems. I live in the Caribbean and I grow a few roses around my yard. I've got a passion for roses among other plants. I don't know the names or variety of the few that I've got, but through your videos, I found out some of the reasons why they are not growing properly and what am doing wrong. Thank you so very much for you brought a lot of aids and tips to my knowledge. Keep on teaching us. Love Hugette; on the beautiful, warm and sunny island of Dominica.
Hello Jason, I hope you are well. First, allow me to say I am a fan of yours from the Netherlands. As a confession, you were my inspiration when I decided last year to grow roses in containers on my (East facing) balcony. You make growing roses in pots sound so doable, I just got encouraged by your passionate though very tolerant - towards- mistakes attitude;) I started with two small floribundas in 5 gallon container. I got them in autumn, I saw them survive the (mild) Dutch winter, I gave them some fertilizer in spring (one dose slow release - according to the manufacturer’s indications). They got aphides - no lady bugs on the 12th floor, so I sprayed them…. they bloomed but they seem to have a decline. I am not sure if my watering schedule and quantities are in order. I know, you are just saying in this video there are a lot of factors to take into account when it comes to watering roses in pots. And I know you are a busy man, with an avalanche of messages awaiting answers, but…here I come with: how much water and how often for my small floribundas in 19- 20 l container capacity, filled with rose potting soil (from gardening center). I do 1,5 L on average, in spring once every week or so and twice per week in summer. I stick fingers with obstinence in the soil;) I might just not have the green one though. I always hope I am on time for a new watering. There are yellow leaves on both and I do fear not to overwater. And with one rose I see that the water starts to leak (it is 1,5 L) fast from the bottom of the container. So, please, if you get to read all the above and find the time, help me out with figuring out what is wrong. Many thanks and a lot of admiration for your work! Miruna
So much depends on the plants, the site, the soil and even the kind of pot that it would be meaningless for me to say an amount of water and a frequency. It's a bit like asking how much fuel to put in your car - it depends on everything from vehicle to road conditions, distance and driving habits - but most people just fill it when they see the car needs more gas in the tank. While once a week (2x in summer) seems a reasonable starting point, you'll have to judge in part with how the plants are performing. Yellow leaves down low and in the center of the shrub can be a reaction to underwatering/moisture stress. When you water, be sure to water thoroughly. Sometimes a dryish soil will repel water for a bit, so water running quickly out the drain holes could also mean that the soil isn't accepting water quickly enough. Breaking it up into 3-4 smaller servings of water with a few minutes between applications can give the soil time to accept the water.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm He answered!!!🤗Thank you so much, Jason, for your reply. This kind of gesture/attitude means a lot to me and, I am sure, to the community you gathered on your channel. And, of course, your comments make a lot of sence; I find some reassurence and sort of relief in that watering frequence is Okish;) I just got spooked by “10 L per watering for potted roses; water every day in summer, even twice per day; the bigger the pot, the less frequent watering becomes” and I could not come to terms with this “flooding”/ contradictions - less frequent, yet twice per day- but also with the yellow leaves starting to show on my roses. I will keep trying (since you got me started;) and hopefully they’ll do better. Once again, a lot of appreciation for your work, spirit and attitude. I’ll be watching!;) Miruna
All your class-videos are just great 👍 thank you. I wish I were lesser in years and could enjoy gardening as I used to. Love it as much as nature. Bless you.
Good morning from New York City! I've subscribed to your channel and I'm watching all your videos. Thank you for all the amazing, helpful information. We have a terrace with great sunshine and I'm learning about how to grow roses in containers. I love roses and I'm determined to figure this out. Thank you again!
Thanks again for the video. I am finally getting the climbing rose I want, which will be planted in a half barrel next to the garage. This is great info.
Thanks for the video! Very accurate pros and cons of roses in containers. I have so many roses in containers, and yes, repotting them through the years is driving me a little bit nuts. And as they grow bigger, I either have to get rid of some of them, to give them to my friends, or I have to downsize them by cutting and separating them. Of course I would like to try growing them in the ground, so I can try many climbing varieties, and they thrive beautifully, but the reality is that living in a small flat in a crowded city doesn’t give me the option to own a garden. 😂 Hope one day I can move to a more spatial rural area.
This was a really helpful video & I love that you are still keeping up with answering questions even tho the original date on this is 4 years ago---that's dedication! The one option you didn't cover was when the rose has outgrown the pot (roots poking thru the bottom holes!) but I don't want to up-pot to a larger size. There is a limit to how large a pot I can manage, not having heavy moving equipment & being a senior lady alone. My thought is to pull the rose out, do some root pruning, replace the soil with fresh, & back into the same pot. It seems the winter dormancy would be the correct timimg for this. Would this be the right procedure, or is root pruning going to send the rose into a death spiral? I do have mainly own-root roses (unless a variety is only sold grafted). Again, thanks much for so much helpful rose advise on your channel.
I have not had much luck with coco peat (the common non soil type here) so I went back to using normal soil inside pots. Maybe I didn't get the fertilization right for coco peat but soil has been easier for me so far.
Thank you for this video of clarifying even more what most people explain about making sure the roots are "good for repotting" The fact that you even showed it is actually what I needed to let me know that I can actually try to take care of my Miniature Rosier Roses I just bought a week ago when I wanted to try my hand (again) in taking care of miniature/tea roses (though I'm actually learning there's a difference between Tea Roses and Miniature Roses, as Miniature roses are literally just people making the roses smaller instead hybrid splicing, thus the "Tea" rose from how people explained. Please let me know if this is false information that is being spread because that's what I'm seeing in a lot of places when I'm trying to learn to take care of these new roses I bought). Note, I live in South Florida (closer to Miami so closer to the tip of Florida than up North and Central which can get colder for longer periods of time) so it's not in 70 Degree weather all the time, and can get hotter that isn't the most "ideal" all the time for roses. So that's the other issue I'm struggling with is finding people talking about how to take care of roses in hotter and more Humid climates. (Sorry, You're just one of the first people that explained a lot more than people just assume is common knowledge for a novice.)
Thanks for watching. The miniatures are a bred and selected for their smaller flowers and (usually) compact habit. It's like if you follow dog breeding: a dog crossed from two smaller breeds is likely to be a smaller size when full-grown, and a dog crossed from two larger breeds is likely to be larger. I think when you say "hybrid splicing" you might be talking about grafting. In this case, the above-ground stems are from one breed of rose, while the roots are from another. It may impact the overall size of the rose a bit, but mostly it's based on the breeding.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yeah, the Grafting is what I was talking about from what they were describing of the sources, but for some reason didn't use that word. So I guess Tea Roses are more using the grafting and Miniature roses are through the breeding? Or are those places wrong, and Tea Roses are pretty much Miniature Roses just of the same name? (When I tried to type it into google, I got places having them separate, and other places where they interchanged the two names. Mostly asking because I grew up with my grandmother taking care of Tea Roses, and I tried to take care of them but they died due to me being a high schooler who didn't even know that you had to prune the flowers for new growth and may have overwatered them then, and this Miniture Rosier Rose (White and Red mix) I have now is me learning to take care of them and learning the differences).
All of the classes of roses get their main characteristics from breeding. Grafting is used to produce vigorous plants quickly, and to lend some of the rootstock qualities to the finished rose. But if you grow them on their own roots (form cuttings) a hybrid tea is still a hybrid tea, a mini is still a mini, a climber is still a climber.
Fabulous video. Thank you! I have watched several on roses in containers, but yours was the only one that addresses overwintering. I have very nice expensive pots that I can't leave out during the winter or they will crack and shear. Glad that I can move roses into unheated garage.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm I live in the St. Paul, Minnesota area zone. I’m not sure what your growing zone is or where you are located but I think our zone is 4b. Are you in Canada? Will the potted roses survive in an unheated garage here?
Hello again! Just a side note, I got from another wonderful gardener, is to choose a fertilizer with the highest number in the middle. So if the bag says "3" "5" "3" it's good! Or should be.❤ Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for bringing it up. I did a video in the fall where I looked at the research and growing recommendations in detail and it turns out to be the opposite: Higher N (first number), mid-level K (last number) and lowest P (middle number) is the most solid recommendation.
It Seems that as long as my selection at the nursery isn't root bound it wont hurt to let it stay in the pot for awhile.i admit to making several purchases in a mad quest for more roses only to find little time to plant on the weekend.😄
Love your videos. I started out growing several new, small hybrid teas in large 20-25 gallon root pouch or smart pots, thinking they would be getting pretty big and that they needed large pots, eventually. Also, there is a lot of different information online, saying to use at least 15 gallon pots for hybrids or floribundas, etc. Do you think it is better to start off with small rose plants in small pots and transfer them every year to larger pots? Is there an advantage to this? I am noticing they are producing more, but blooms are smaller. I like your idea in the video..Also, some are foruniana root , and some info states they hate being repotted or disturbed, so I did not want to keep repotting. Thaks for all your info.
Hi, I'm in the UK and I can say these are the best video's I've seen for roses so I've subscribed. I'm currently waiting for delivery of bare rooted floribunda rose "Symphony" and I want to plant it in a pot before I take it to the cemetery on my mother's birthday in September. I'm wondering now if it would be best to bring it on in the pot for another year before I can plant it in the ground there. This video has really helped, thank you🙂
Very helpful as I've been looking up whether to change the pot of my rose. So glad you brought up the miniature rose at the end because that is exactly what I have. I was really hoping you would show how to change the pot in the video, bummer...Do you have a video of that? And I read that the plant might be in shock if I change the pot? Please help! 😀
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Oh no, wish I had seen this comment before changing the pot. I'm not sure what I did was gentle. I kind of ripped apart a bit of a dead stem and it's roots from the pot. What shall I do if it happens to not do well? It had been doing pretty good, will be devasted if it starts dying as it is my first pretty flower plant I kept alive for this long. 😆😆😆
Thanks for the great info! I’m zone 5 and just starting out with roses. I will bring the potted rose in the unheated garage but need to know, should I continue to water over winter?
Thanks for the video, as I have just recently started to grow roses in pots this was very interesting to me. One problem which has come up for me is how to effectively keep the rose-pots cool, as mine are placed in a rather sunny spot, and on hot days I noticed the pots being heated up considerably. One of the roses had actually stopped growing for a while until I noticed the problem, right now I have them sitting with their original pots inside the much larger intended final planting pots, and the space around them stuffed with moist moss. That works very well to keep them cool for now, but once re-potting time comes, I am wondering how else to go about it. Only idea I have is to get even bigger pots and keep going with the moss stuffing around them - any other good options?
The larger the pot, the more stable the temperature - and what you're doing with the inner pot/outer pot is great. The sunlight may warm the outer container, but there's an air barrier preventing transfer of heat to the inner pot. Also works a bit better if the outer pot is a lighter color. If you can site in afternoon shade, that's great (although I know you can't always choose the perfect spot!). One last touch is that the potting soil surface could be mulched with a lighter colored mulch (like pumice) or sunk a bit into the larger outer container so that it's shaded.
Fraser Valley Rose Farm. Thanks to you I now realize that I wasn't taking care of my bushes the way they needed. When I cleaned out my 24 year old rose bush, I found that grulated food at the base of the bush. I got hit hard with black spot this summer. So I have a lot of work to do. Thanks Again.
🍀 I gotta know which farmers market you speak of. Lol. Langley local here. Just potting up two David Austin’s from one location of the yard into urns for the season and you’ve provided the reassurance I needed. Thanks.
Hi Jasón, I hope you can find the time to quickly answer my question but first I want to say I’m obsessed with your channel and how you explain things, you are amazing! My question is: what pot size would I need for a climber, specifically Zephirine Drouhin rose to reach its full potential? Thank you in advanced - Jordana S.
Hi Jordana. I'd have to say the larger the better (too vague, I know) because Zeph has a tendency to mildew if she doesn't have consistent soil moisture (or even if she does sometimes!). I think you mentioned elsewhere that your pot was 30" by 20", which seems like an ample size.
That was so informative! Thanks very much I bought a beautiful climbing yellow rose bush last month. It was the healthiest plant and I was very excited about it but put it in the ground not aware that I should keep it in a pot Within 2weeks it got black spot and all the buds are almost gone I should have researched more ☹️ not sure what to do now
Thanks David. And of course, it's just a matter of preference. If you're pretty confident in the planting spot, there's nothing wrong with getting it right into the ground. Best luck with your rose!
I propagated some old old roses from cuttings & kept them in pots (I move a lot) my question is , do roses prefer cool roots? Should I surround the pot with some kind of insulation, like wet burlap. They don’t need water but they still suffer. These roses were 12 yrs old. I’m in CA and we have hot dry summers and it’s getting hotter. Thx for the great info ❤️
Hi Shirley. I find that if I double-pot (smaller growing pot inside, slightly larger decorative pot outside) the air gap between them reduces solar gain on the soil. I'm sure a lighter colored mulch would be helpful too.
Thank you Jason! I've had good luck with my Don Juan it it's first year in a large container. I'm planning to start my bare root roses that i'll get in early spring in 5 gallon Home Depot containers in our little half hoop greenhouse - and its true that now I'm leaning toward keeping them more mobile. I also really love the height of container roses. I'm going to experiment with one larger container with 3 roses in it - maybe Munstead Wood. I wonder how large a container would make sense for the 3 roses? Thanks again and warmest regards Jennie
Great video, thank you! I am going to try my hand at overwintering some potted Explorer series roses in an unheated building here in Whitehorse, Yukon. This will give the added bonus of protecting them from the assorted rodents and moose who are problems with my current plantings.
At around 4 mins talking about 3 choices of going larger pot, plant in ground or give it away.. what about cutting off 1/3 of the roots and putting back in the same size pot for roses? Thanks loving your vids, packed full of good info and you relate it all in a way that makes seed packets and stuff make sense
Great job as always Jason. Here in so cal whatever I grow in pots gets ruined by fungus gnats, though never tried roses in pots before. I feel like I never wanna grow anything in pots any more, particularly fruits and veggies
Sorry to hear about your fungus gnat problems. I've tackled them before by reducing watering frequency - and also by topping the pots with something that dries out quicker (like vermiculite or rice hulls) because fungus gnats LOVE a moist soil surface. Then there's always BTI (bacillus) but I'm not sure how available that is in different jurisdictions.
If you have a lot of algae, fungus gnats feed on it. Like Jason said, letting the top dry off a bit or if appropriate a topping (1/2) granite/rock dust works well and can provide minerals too. Take a 5 gal bucket to your local stone - I yard will sell some just don’t go more than 1/2 way or you won’t be able to lift the bucket when you get home. All that said - the best way to eliminate them is the biological Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis). Mosquito Bits is used to kill mosquitoes and is now approved for use to kill fungus gnats. It is used across the country and in organic farming. It is very safe and only kills the larvae of mosquitoes, black flies and fungus gnats. See their website - and then look at the menu for other products. Note Summit also makes the super Mosquito Dunks - that work long term for ponds, pools, rain barrels, fountains, etc. I use the bits for quick knock down - if you kill the larvae there aren’t any to grow up to bite you. I sprinkle the bits on a low marshy area in my back yard and use the dunks in my little pond and rain barrel. If you have an algae issue, I also use Physan 20 as a preventative (PHYSAN 20™ is a broad range disinfectant, fungicide, virucide, and algaecide which effectively controls a wide variety of pathogens on hard surfaces, cutting tools, on seeds and cuttings to prevent damping off, downey mildew issues and other fungal disease as a pre-treatment, with cut flowers to last longer, to disinfect fountains, greenhouses, pots, and on many plants including ornamentals, turf, African violets, and orchids. It is a QAC, is safe, doesn’t ruin clothes or smell nor is it hard on hands like bleach. I use it to clean my kitchen and bathroom floors. It is toxic to fish - don’t discharge to drains, sewers, nor use in the direct presence of fish but it can be used as directed, and then thoroughly rinsed. In most applications, it is allowed to airdry and then used. If you still have folks who smoke, they will have tobacco mosaic virus on their hands and can spread to many ornamentals from orchids to tomato plants. Have them dip their hands in a Physan 20 solution as directed and let airdry before handling any plants or anything in the greenhouse. It is also used, again, at the appropriate strength to drench potting media and bark. See it’s website and the APPLICATIONS tab. Always check and follow directions. My suggestion, is you read each item under the Applications tab as there are items of interest for general use under each one...I.e. the TMV is found under orchids. And even if you don’t have a greenhouse, there are items there that are valuable even if you don’t have one. It is economical as most uses are in teaspoon to tablespoons -runs around $12 for 16 Oz but can be bought in larger volume. This is in the same family (QAC) Jason recommended when making cuttings but each product has its own dosages and uses. www.physan.com/ www.summitchemical.com/mosquito/mosquito-bits/
Hi Jason. I have a sceptre’d Isle in pot in Toronto. Will it survive if kept on my balcony over the winter? I don’t have a shed or garage unfortunately. Looking forward to you wise input ❤
I am a bit confused about wintering over for potted roses. Can you expound ? Are you suggesting to simply line the pots up in a row under an eve or do yo bury them? Water, how much and how often? I have a small unseated greenhouse. Some days in winter it will be 90 degrees F or 28 C but it does go below freezing at night. Is that too extreme? Thanks, Doug
Hi Doug. Those small greenhouses fluctuate so quickly, it's pretty hard on the plants. If you have an unheated shed or cool garage, that might be best, but even gathering them close to a building for shelter will offer some protection. If you dig or mound around the pots a bit, so much the better.
Hi Jason. Thanks so much for your great videos. I recently moved to a new place where I have a garden :) I have a dozen hybrid teas in 10 gallons pots and they been in there for about 3 years. They were originally bare roots. Its autumn now in Australia and I would like to put them in the ground. Should I convert them back to bare root before transferring them or keep the root ball intact. Thank u again
Hi David - if you can retain the roots in good condition as much as possible, it'll reduce transplant shock. Have a look at the roots when you remove from the container. You could break them up a bit if they're circling and rootbound.
Hi Jason Thank you for your very informative teaching on roses in containers. Do you know how to deal with die back also what causes die back. Thank you From Australia QLD GoldCoast Blessings to you and your family 🕊💐
Great video. I am undecided between rose varieties for a very large container and now I am confident to try things out in pots first. Question: what variety is the white rose in your video i.e. shrub, hybrid tea etc and does it have a name? It is really pretty and looks super healthy. I had previously read that roses can’t be potted on like this, but you are the proof of the pudding (so to speak) that they can.
I just received a miniature cordona rose in a pot. I live in the south eastern corridor in New Jersey. Can this plant be potted outside make it through the winter time? I really enjoyed your video. Very informative. Thank you. 😊
Jason - I’ve researched the heck out of available content (podcasts, RUclips Channels, etc.) for rose channels, and yours is truly the best. I love that you alternate practical advice with historical references, imagery of different rose types, etc. You’re a great teacher and I hope you will keep it up!
Thanks Katie. I so appreciate the feedback.
Agree
Same. Thanks Jason . So grateful 🌿
Absolutely true!
Hello Jason,
I agreed with Katie Reed.
Thank you 😊 for sharing your knowledge regarding rose 🌹
May GOD always bless you and your family my young friend.
This guy is without doubt the best teacher. . . . . .
I grow 8 roses in very large containers for the past 6 years and they are doing fine. I do top dress them every spring with fresh compost or manure. Thanks for the extra tips.
@Rocco no, she clearly means 8 roses in 8 large containers. It was very helpful input.
@Diane E. Saunders do you know what size container you used? 20" diameter at the top? Bigger? Thank you!
@@demesrvl6761 yes 20 inches wide for a pot or more to grow the rose.
@@scallywags12 Thank you!!
Is there an special pot material that the roses will grow better ? Plastic, clay, Ceramic? I was told that the plastic heat the plants easily.
I've just been given a climbing rose plant here in England, UK called 'Pauls scarlet climber' following the death of my brother Paul. Therefore I am really keen to care and nurture it. This video was really useful and informative without being over the top. I am going to plant it into a large container and can't wait to see it (hopefully) thrive. Thank you
How lovely
So sorry for your loss. What a beautifully perfect tribute to your brother 💕
Hey I'm growing several in 5 gallon pots and they are growing GREAT...with pots you have the added advantage of being able to move the pot around to several different locations when the summer sun gets too intense....in in TN and have 5 in pots right now almost ready to bloom....
What I really really like about Jason is that he always answers the questions that are asked ! Thank you so much.😁
Thanks Melene - sometimes later than others! (Depending on the season)
I wish I could LOVE this video instead of just like it - finally someone who supports my love of container growing hehe 😍 Awesome video with great information, thank you!!
At least four of my five in-ground roses have come down with crown gall. ☹️ I’ve been digging them up, throwing them out, and removing as much of the surrounding soil as possible to spread around monocots that are impervious to crown gall, mainly yuccas and agaves where I am. I will replace the missing soil with native soil, but apparently the crown gall bacteria can survive for years and I doubt I’ll be able to remove it all.
So…looking into growing roses in pots! Glad that several commenters have had success with it.
WE got into growing roses in a big way while still in the US. WE had a lucky encounter one Saturday am with a Rosarian volunteer, a member of the the Rosarian Society sitting at a table at a nursery to give advice, such a happy day that turned out to be....the Rosarian Society is a great org for hobbyists. He gave us solid advice on which variety of the different colors grew best in Houston, TX and how to grow them in huge planter boxes.
Now living outside the US I have roses I have had in pots 10 yrs....we spray insecticide, fertilize regularly, we deadhead and I have roses to cut for indoors all year. I am in the tropics but this can be done anyplace that does not freeze. This area used to have rose farms with cut roses for export to the USA, while the last nurseries were still here we bought their varieties so our roses are well suited to this climate and soil...we were assured by their commercial use. I have not yet had to root prune them....mine are now in 18in diameter 30 inch tall pots. THis area is volcanic fast draining soil we just added leaf mulch...no need to buy anything in this coffee growing region. We do a bit of top dressing each year.SUmmer sun we do water daily.
I also have a magnolia tree that age in a pot a bit larger. I do root prune and repot same size every third year. It blooms well several times a year. I also grow bamboo as a potted wall for privacy all along a large upstairs terrace. These do,have to be repottted yearly and separated.
If you are on the states, which brand of potting mix do you use of you don't mind me asking?
Thank you for the video!!! I appreciate your job, effort! It’s so nice to see a men so into flowers. Romantic! 🌹
My pleasure. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thank you Jason! I am growing roses in pots and need to have wisdom in potting into larger containers. I don't know how I missed this video earlier, but wisdom found me and now I can make a better decision on pots.
So well explained everything about container rose gardening, exactly what I was going to ask and some more. Thank you so much. You are one of the few best rose gurus, Jason :)
Thank you. I live in the deep southern United States and without afternoon shade, my rose blossoms will wither. Plus it will require much more watering. I love your channel. It will be my guide all year long.
Thanks so much JoAnn.
excellent presentation as usual. Precise, concise, and to the point. Organized and not rambling. Thank you. 💕🌹🌷
Very much my pleasure. Thanks for watching
Yay Jason! I'm re-visiting this video and others you've gifted upon the world. This year I've experimented w keeping a Zone 6 rose (I'm 5), and a few others, in the cold greenhouse we built - I'm too new to growing roses with intention to really know whether my zone 6 rose will make it . The soil is frozen hard - I've watered during the warmest period a month ago but its been hovering within 20 of zero for a while.
I'll receive SO many roses come spring that will stay in containers for at least a while because of your excellent advice. If only because designing a garden is complex - and arranging pots helps to envision the world that we are creating.
Warmest regards
Jennie
You are an excellent teacher because as soon as I go down into the comments to ask a question or see if there is an answer you move on to what I'm about to ask!!
I’m agreeing with other subs on here. You have quickly become my go-to-guy expert on roses. I’ve studied much and your common-sense approach just makes sense to me! I thank you Sit.
Thanks Mattie. I really appreciate the feedback.
Yes, definitely Jason.
Particularly with limited garden space.
Thank you for this advice.
Making a recap
Thanks for teach me how to do it, I’m proud of my 6 roses in containers from minis to climbers to hybrids your tips were fundamental for me.
I have a knockout rose in a large talavera pot in the front of my house in Texas for five years. Blooms beautifully every year.
Thanks - great to know
Dear Jason, thank you so very much for sharing your vast knowledge. I have found gardening this season and because of your guidance, it is now a real passion of mine. Your way of clearly explaining things, thoroughly,thoughtfully, focused on the issue at hand, has been a wonderful resource for me in this journey as a beginner gardener. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thank for guiding me on this journey. All the best. Sofia.
That's so nice to hear Sofia, and I'm also quite happy to know you're enjoying the hobby so much!
Good topic to cover. Containers certainly can increase one’s options, but in the end the 🌹 is always right.
I put a Violet’s Pride tea rose tree in a large pot on our patio as a focal point. But the rose was unhappy🥀 for a couple of reasons.
( 1.)The patio’s microclime was much too hot a due south exposure with almost full sun-it mimics growing zone 9 or 10.
(2.) Bugs made a beeline for the rose. Three different pests converged at once: aphids, sawfly and some kind of caterpillar 🐛.
The rose was suffering so much I moved it out of its heavy pot and planted it in a shadier spot by some rhododendrons. It’s much happier now!
For sure - my 'Paul Neyron' was never ever happy in a pot, but does great in the garden. Maybe I could force the issue with a larger pot or better location (or more regular watering, if I'm being honest) but it pays to listen to your plants.
It’s great your Paul Neyron is happy in your garden. Does it have a great fragrance? It looks the sort of rose that might.
You probably don’t want to have to resort to a forklift to move your container plants around. One of the benefits of container planting is portability. 🌱
It does have a wonderful scent, and the first blooms each season are ridiculously large, round, and quite easily mistaken for peonies. Very vertical in growth habit, and hates to dry out.
My Graham Thomas gave me a seedling and I wanted to grow her in a pot, but wasn’t sure. With all of your wonderful information I will! Thank you!
I adore roses and I have them all the time on my balcony.I use the biggest pot I can find for my roses because I know they will be happy,healthy and in full bloom all summer long.
Very good and informative video!! Loved your approach and philosophy about gardening!! Ans also use as a metaphor for our lives, and our changes 🌹🤍
Thanks Juliana - I'm definitely still trying to figure out my right spot in life!
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Jason, IMO your spot in life definitely includes being a teacher!! We just need to get you appropriately remunerated for your talent & knowledge!!
Perfect timing! My favorite rose is Just Joey and I have one out in the garden. I bought a second to put in a pot in my front courtyard so I can enjoy her every day (and give her the pampering she insists on easier.) Dressed and ready to go do the deed and up popped this post. Just the "go for it" I needed. Thanks so much. New sub for sure.
I just got my 4” roses and thought I would freshen up my repotting skills. Thank you so much for my roses and these helpful videos. 🌹🌷
So quick! Glad to hear it, and thanks for the support
Fraser Valley Rose Farm
So fast, the soil was still moist!
They look great. I really appreciate the care you took to mail them and the nice labels you made from them. I’m going matte and frame them all together. I’ll keep them by the entrance to our balcony/backyard.
I’m working on plans to get more from your farm!
Thanks again!
An excellent presentation, thank you.
Hi. I live on a windy island. Off Ireland. Just bought a pot rose. Can I keep it in house on sunny window??
Thank you! Your educational videos help me so much. I started with nothing then yesterday I ordered my first rose.
Brilliant advice. Thank you so much! I never realised I don't have to make a final decision on which rose(s) to grow in ground... I can just get the options and grow them in pots and see how I feel about them!
Thank you so much for this video. I always wanted to grow roses but I am unfortunately stuck in an apartment for foreseeable future. Now I have the confidence to go forward with my dream :)
Thanks Gareth - have a great gardening season!
Jason, I like the very clear and to the point knowledge and advise also info you always give us. Thank you!
My pleasure Ester!
You have the most informative videos. Thank you
That was fantastic thank you! I plan to containerise 2 roses and now I know that I can do it.
Thank you. I learned a lot from you about my new mini rose Bush. I can't wait to enjoy her now.
Thank you for giving us useful information I I love watching your videos I am form London here the weather has changed a lot roses are not as healthy as they used to be before I follow your tips and I think they are really good 😊 thank you
Thank you! I have been growing Roses for decades...in various places from Mid-Atlantic to Maine. I am currently in Pittsburgh and planted a few Hybrid Musks and Climbers when I came several years ago, but it's likely I will be leaving the area in the Autumn. So anything I have bought this year has been put into Pots. Mostly Hetbs but also two plants of DANAE and one JULIA CHILD. They are growing and thriving. (PS) I only use Fish Tea as fertilizer and foliar feed ) The Roses already in the Ground will be dug up and potted.
I've also grown Bay Laurels, Figs and Meyer Lemons very well in Pots. Including a Meyer Lemon that produced lovely ripe fruit in a Bay Window on a Maine island in Winter!
Important to keep overwintering potted Trees and Shrubs watered - but not much! - during Winter. And I wrap them for wind protection as well as huddle them against a protected corner - the Kitchen Porch is almost a room...
Thanks for the details on your containers. A lot of people have been asking questions on how to overwinter, and I'm sure your insights will be helpful.
I have since checked out Pemberton and they are remarkable roses! I also visited The Huntington and enjoyed their collection. My daughter sent me (2) days in a row and both days I was escorted along by the workers saying "We're closing now";-) I never did make it down to the Japanese garden. We had tea the 2ND day and my daughter and mom found a shady area to be of more interest than the roses, lol.
@@portiaholliday8741 Many public gardens close, partially or entirely, for July and August. New Yoek Botanical Garden closes its Rose Garden. P. Allen Smith's Moss Mountain Farm closes entirely. Many others do this because Spring is the great Bloom Time, there's a smaller floral display in September, but either the flowers are finished for the year - Peonies, Irises etc. - or the Plants go Heat Dormant (Everblooming Roses). Also in extreme heat, the Gardeners aren't allowed to work outdoors - by contract.
When I began as a Volunteer at Brooklyn Botanic Garden many yeara ago, one of my first jobs was to prune the circle of Pemberton's CLYTEMNESTRA around the Rose Pool in late winter. I fell in love with these graceful Shrubs merely for their form. I had never seen them in bloom. They became my most favorite Rose.
Eventually BBG tore out these old-fashioned Shrubs which were planted when the Garden was newly built...they replaced them with the odious, scentless KNOCKOUT...But happily the old CLYTEMNESTRAs went to Antique Rose Emporium in Texas. And today I have 3 of these, cuttings from those old BBG plants, in my Garden. They're only 3 years old and suffered some winter dieback, but they are large and thriving now. This Spring they covered themselves in soft Apricot-Pink bloom. Even now in the heat, they are flowering well. If/when I move, I will dig them up and take them!
@@suzannederringer1607 Yes, my roses except Flamingo are moss, even South Africa is moss. You were smart to take cuttings. I am cutting and propagating EVERYTHING this year bc de the Wisconsingarden. Lynn propagated a lot de Montauk/Nippon. She helped me overcome my "fear" de propagating:-) I have been snipping my new growth areas de my roses rather than letting the deer snack on them:-) I am moving Swamp Milkweed around to more favorable areas today. It looks pretty growing among my seas de Queen Anne's Lace. I am also sowing MANY tall red cornflower seeds I got de Amazon.
@@portiaholliday8741 I love Moss Roses - those and Albas (if one has room for them!) and Gallicas and Bourbons and Centifolias. Also old American clinbers like SILVER MOON or NEw DAWN or - not American - VEILCHENBLAu. Again one needs ROOM. Two years ago I planted a small own-root SUPER DOROTHY - Improved German version of the old American DOROTHY PERKINS. My god. First year it was a big Shrub. Then last September it shot out 10-foot Canes. Overnight! I tied it along imprivised Fencing on a little Hill. This year - MASSES of rosy-pink blooms...all June long. I pruned it a bit when it finished, and it's growing again. Scary!
I have lioved Queen Anne's Lace since I was a child. That and Goldenrod. I have some Goldenrod but not the Lace...I envy you !!!
Seems like you are having a great Gardening year...
Jason, you're the best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your highly informative presentations.
My pleasure Mintu!
Thank you...wish I would have watched this before moving from store container to a large pot right away. Roots weren’t developed enough yet. My yellow tea rose went into shock in the new pot, but came back slowly after I cut back the troubled branches and flowers.
Happy to hear it recovered! Thanks
Thank you I'm a beginner. Great information I didn't know I could leave my roses in the planter and then put it in a pot. I always thought u had to take it totally of the nursery pot. Lol..thxs so much.🌷🌹
Talk about the right video at the right time!!! I'm reeling from a rose disaster.... So this info is much needed! I'm more convinced that the underlying cause has not been my tender ministrations ( fussed over like children!) but is some underlying fungal cause.
Great advice!
Liked, shared, subscribed and following your advice To. The. Letter!!
Hi. Am watching your videos and I must say that; I've got a lot of tips on roses. Growing, feeding, caring and controlling some of the common problems.
I live in the Caribbean and I grow a few roses around my yard. I've got a passion for roses among other plants.
I don't know the names or variety of the few that I've got, but through your videos, I found out some of the reasons why they are not growing properly and what am doing wrong.
Thank you so very much for you brought a lot of aids and tips to my knowledge.
Keep on teaching us.
Love Hugette; on the beautiful, warm and sunny island of Dominica.
Thanks Christine. We're at the trailing end of winter, and it's times like this that I envy your climate
thanks for the information..i love roses. very informative video.
Great video as always. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪🍀
Jason, I love growing roses 🌹anywhere I can!
Hello Jason, I hope you are well. First, allow me to say I am a fan of yours from the Netherlands. As a confession, you were my inspiration when I decided last year to grow roses in containers on my (East facing) balcony. You make growing roses in pots sound so doable, I just got encouraged by your passionate though very tolerant - towards- mistakes attitude;) I started with two small floribundas in 5 gallon container. I got them in autumn, I saw them survive the (mild) Dutch winter, I gave them some fertilizer in spring (one dose slow release - according to the manufacturer’s indications). They got aphides - no lady bugs on the 12th floor, so I sprayed them…. they bloomed but they seem to have a decline. I am not sure if my watering schedule and quantities are in order. I know, you are just saying in this video there are a lot of factors to take into account when it comes to watering roses in pots. And I know you are a busy man, with an avalanche of messages awaiting answers, but…here I come with: how much water and how often for my small floribundas in 19- 20 l container capacity, filled with rose potting soil (from gardening center). I do 1,5 L on average, in spring once every week or so and twice per week in summer. I stick fingers with obstinence in the soil;) I might just not have the green one though. I always hope I am on time for a new watering. There are yellow leaves on both and I do fear not to overwater. And with one rose I see that the water starts to leak (it is 1,5 L) fast from the bottom of the container. So, please, if you get to read all the above and find the time, help me out with figuring out what is wrong. Many thanks and a lot of admiration for your work! Miruna
So much depends on the plants, the site, the soil and even the kind of pot that it would be meaningless for me to say an amount of water and a frequency. It's a bit like asking how much fuel to put in your car - it depends on everything from vehicle to road conditions, distance and driving habits - but most people just fill it when they see the car needs more gas in the tank. While once a week (2x in summer) seems a reasonable starting point, you'll have to judge in part with how the plants are performing. Yellow leaves down low and in the center of the shrub can be a reaction to underwatering/moisture stress. When you water, be sure to water thoroughly. Sometimes a dryish soil will repel water for a bit, so water running quickly out the drain holes could also mean that the soil isn't accepting water quickly enough. Breaking it up into 3-4 smaller servings of water with a few minutes between applications can give the soil time to accept the water.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm He answered!!!🤗Thank you so much, Jason, for your reply. This kind of gesture/attitude means a lot to me and, I am sure, to the community you gathered on your channel. And, of course, your comments make a lot of sence; I find some reassurence and sort of relief in that watering frequence is Okish;) I just got spooked by “10 L per watering for potted roses; water every day in summer, even twice per day; the bigger the pot, the less frequent watering becomes” and I could not come to terms with this “flooding”/ contradictions - less frequent, yet twice per day- but also with the yellow leaves starting to show on my roses. I will keep trying (since you got me started;) and hopefully they’ll do better. Once again, a lot of appreciation for your work, spirit and attitude. I’ll be watching!;) Miruna
All your class-videos are just great 👍 thank you. I wish I were lesser in years and could enjoy gardening as I used to. Love it as much as nature. Bless you.

Happy to help Andrea
Good morning from New York City!
I've subscribed to your channel and I'm watching all your videos. Thank you for all the amazing, helpful information. We have a terrace with great sunshine and I'm learning about how to grow roses in containers. I love roses and I'm determined to figure this out. Thank you again!
Hi Laura. My pleasure - and I'm sure you'll do great!
Best info of all ... Thanks to share such a great knowledge ..Newcastle AU
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thanks again for the video. I am finally getting the climbing rose I want, which will be planted in a half barrel next to the garage. This is great info.
Very informative. I'm very pleased with your video.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Appreciate it very much.
I was looking for a vid how to plant roses in container . And in this vid this is very clearly explained . Thank you
Thanks for the video! Very accurate pros and cons of roses in containers. I have so many roses in containers, and yes, repotting them through the years is driving me a little bit nuts. And as they grow bigger, I either have to get rid of some of them, to give them to my friends, or I have to downsize them by cutting and separating them. Of course I would like to try growing them in the ground, so I can try many climbing varieties, and they thrive beautifully, but the reality is that living in a small flat in a crowded city doesn’t give me the option to own a garden. 😂 Hope one day I can move to a more spatial rural area.
I hope so too - sounds like you've done a great job in containers though.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm haha, the climate does 80% of the job. 😛
Thank you for your video on container growing of Roses loved it. Explained very well
Thanks Juanita
This was a really helpful video & I love that you are still keeping up with answering questions even tho the original date on this is 4 years ago---that's dedication! The one option you didn't cover was when the rose has outgrown the pot (roots poking thru the bottom holes!) but I don't want to up-pot to a larger size. There is a limit to how large a pot I can manage, not having heavy moving equipment & being a senior lady alone. My thought is to pull the rose out, do some root pruning, replace the soil with fresh, & back into the same pot. It seems the winter dormancy would be the correct timimg for this. Would this be the right procedure, or is root pruning going to send the rose into a death spiral? I do have mainly own-root roses (unless a variety is only sold grafted). Again, thanks much for so much helpful rose advise on your channel.
Thanks - that sounds about right for a rose that's getting overgrown in the pot and if you can't upgrade the pot size (or graduate to the garden).
Thank you
I will put it back in the pot
🤞🏻
News 7Glenview park 239Glenview
The data is rather fascinating.
Jason, you're the best.
I have not had much luck with coco peat (the common non soil type here) so I went back to using normal soil inside pots. Maybe I didn't get the fertilization right for coco peat but soil has been easier for me so far.
Thank you Jason. Your video was very informative. I have saved it as a favourite to refer back to.
Thank you for this video of clarifying even more what most people explain about making sure the roots are "good for repotting" The fact that you even showed it is actually what I needed to let me know that I can actually try to take care of my Miniature Rosier Roses I just bought a week ago when I wanted to try my hand (again) in taking care of miniature/tea roses (though I'm actually learning there's a difference between Tea Roses and Miniature Roses, as Miniature roses are literally just people making the roses smaller instead hybrid splicing, thus the "Tea" rose from how people explained. Please let me know if this is false information that is being spread because that's what I'm seeing in a lot of places when I'm trying to learn to take care of these new roses I bought). Note, I live in South Florida (closer to Miami so closer to the tip of Florida than up North and Central which can get colder for longer periods of time) so it's not in 70 Degree weather all the time, and can get hotter that isn't the most "ideal" all the time for roses. So that's the other issue I'm struggling with is finding people talking about how to take care of roses in hotter and more Humid climates.
(Sorry, You're just one of the first people that explained a lot more than people just assume is common knowledge for a novice.)
Thanks for watching. The miniatures are a bred and selected for their smaller flowers and (usually) compact habit. It's like if you follow dog breeding: a dog crossed from two smaller breeds is likely to be a smaller size when full-grown, and a dog crossed from two larger breeds is likely to be larger. I think when you say "hybrid splicing" you might be talking about grafting. In this case, the above-ground stems are from one breed of rose, while the roots are from another. It may impact the overall size of the rose a bit, but mostly it's based on the breeding.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm yeah, the Grafting is what I was talking about from what they were describing of the sources, but for some reason didn't use that word. So I guess Tea Roses are more using the grafting and Miniature roses are through the breeding? Or are those places wrong, and Tea Roses are pretty much Miniature Roses just of the same name? (When I tried to type it into google, I got places having them separate, and other places where they interchanged the two names. Mostly asking because I grew up with my grandmother taking care of Tea Roses, and I tried to take care of them but they died due to me being a high schooler who didn't even know that you had to prune the flowers for new growth and may have overwatered them then, and this Miniture Rosier Rose (White and Red mix) I have now is me learning to take care of them and learning the differences).
All of the classes of roses get their main characteristics from breeding. Grafting is used to produce vigorous plants quickly, and to lend some of the rootstock qualities to the finished rose. But if you grow them on their own roots (form cuttings) a hybrid tea is still a hybrid tea, a mini is still a mini, a climber is still a climber.
Fabulous video. Thank you! I have watched several on roses in containers, but yours was the only one that addresses overwintering. I have very nice expensive pots that I can't leave out during the winter or they will crack and shear. Glad that I can move roses into unheated garage.
Thanks Dina. Fairly cold winters where you are?
Fraser Valley Rose Farm I live in the St. Paul, Minnesota area zone. I’m not sure what your growing zone is or where you are located but I think our zone is 4b. Are you in Canada? Will the potted roses survive in an unheated garage here?
Thank you. Always enjoy these videos of yours
Thx for sharing all of this info with us. I am new to gardening, and your videos have helped me greatly!
Welcome to the hobby!
Brilliant tutorial!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌👌👌🌸🌸🌸
Hello again! Just a side note, I got from another wonderful gardener, is to choose a fertilizer with the highest number in the middle. So if the bag says "3" "5" "3" it's good! Or should be.❤ Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for bringing it up. I did a video in the fall where I looked at the research and growing recommendations in detail and it turns out to be the opposite: Higher N (first number), mid-level K (last number) and lowest P (middle number) is the most solid recommendation.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarmThank you for the clarification!
It Seems that as long as my selection at the nursery isn't root bound it wont hurt to let it stay in the pot for awhile.i admit to making several purchases in a mad quest for more roses only to find little time to plant on the weekend.😄
Ain't that the truth. My "holding area" gets larger in the spring when I'm short time... (but apparently not so short of time for shopping!)
Thanks a lot for this video! I’m going to keep my hot chocolate in the nursery for a year before upgrading it to a larger container 😁
Love your videos. I started out growing several new, small hybrid teas in large 20-25 gallon root pouch or smart pots, thinking they would be getting pretty big and that they needed large pots, eventually. Also, there is a lot of different information online, saying to use at least 15 gallon pots for hybrids or floribundas, etc. Do you think it is better to start off with small rose plants in small pots and transfer them every year to larger pots? Is there an advantage to this? I am noticing they are producing more, but blooms are smaller. I like your idea in the video..Also, some are foruniana root , and some info states they hate being repotted or disturbed, so I did not want to keep repotting. Thaks for all your info.
I love all your videos. Always so helpful!
Hi, I'm in the UK and I can say these are the best video's I've seen for roses so I've subscribed. I'm currently waiting for delivery of bare rooted floribunda rose "Symphony" and I want to plant it in a pot before I take it to the cemetery on my mother's birthday in September. I'm wondering now if it would be best to bring it on in the pot for another year before I can plant it in the ground there. This video has really helped, thank you🙂
You are so clear in your explanation! 👍
Very helpful as I've been looking up whether to change the pot of my rose. So glad you brought up the miniature rose at the end because that is exactly what I have. I was really hoping you would show how to change the pot in the video, bummer...Do you have a video of that? And I read that the plant might be in shock if I change the pot? Please help! 😀
Thanks - be somewhat gentle with the roots, just teasing them apart without too much damage, and that'll reduce the potential for transplant shock.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Oh no, wish I had seen this comment before changing the pot. I'm not sure what I did was gentle. I kind of ripped apart a bit of a dead stem and it's roots from the pot. What shall I do if it happens to not do well?
It had been doing pretty good, will be devasted if it starts dying as it is my first pretty flower plant I kept alive for this long. 😆😆😆
Thanks for the great info! I’m zone 5 and just starting out with roses. I will bring the potted rose in the unheated garage but need to know, should I continue to water over winter?
Thanks for the video, as I have just recently started to grow roses in pots this was very interesting to me. One problem which has come up for me is how to effectively keep the rose-pots cool, as mine are placed in a rather sunny spot, and on hot days I noticed the pots being heated up considerably. One of the roses had actually stopped growing for a while until I noticed the problem, right now I have them sitting with their original pots inside the much larger intended final planting pots, and the space around them stuffed with moist moss. That works very well to keep them cool for now, but once re-potting time comes, I am wondering how else to go about it. Only idea I have is to get even bigger pots and keep going with the moss stuffing around them - any other good options?
The larger the pot, the more stable the temperature - and what you're doing with the inner pot/outer pot is great. The sunlight may warm the outer container, but there's an air barrier preventing transfer of heat to the inner pot. Also works a bit better if the outer pot is a lighter color. If you can site in afternoon shade, that's great (although I know you can't always choose the perfect spot!). One last touch is that the potting soil surface could be mulched with a lighter colored mulch (like pumice) or sunk a bit into the larger outer container so that it's shaded.
ty ty ty.
ive been looking for months for information just as this.😊
Fraser Valley Rose Farm. Thanks to you I now realize that I wasn't taking care of my bushes the way they needed. When I cleaned out my 24 year old rose bush, I found that grulated food at the base of the bush. I got hit hard with black spot this summer. So I have a lot of work to do. Thanks Again.
My pleasure. Best of luck with your roses!
🍀 I gotta know which farmers market you speak of. Lol. Langley local here. Just potting up two David Austin’s from one location of the yard into urns for the season and you’ve provided the reassurance I needed. Thanks.
Hi Jasón, I hope you can find the time to quickly answer my question but first I want to say I’m obsessed with your channel and how you explain things, you are amazing! My question is: what pot size would I need for a climber, specifically Zephirine Drouhin rose to reach its full potential? Thank you in advanced - Jordana S.
Hi Jordana. I'd have to say the larger the better (too vague, I know) because Zeph has a tendency to mildew if she doesn't have consistent soil moisture (or even if she does sometimes!). I think you mentioned elsewhere that your pot was 30" by 20", which seems like an ample size.
That was so informative!
Thanks very much
I bought a beautiful climbing yellow rose bush last month. It was the healthiest plant and I was very excited about it but put it in the ground not aware that I should keep it in a pot
Within 2weeks it got black spot and all the buds are almost gone
I should have researched more
☹️ not sure what to do now
Thanks David. And of course, it's just a matter of preference. If you're pretty confident in the planting spot, there's nothing wrong with getting it right into the ground. Best luck with your rose!
I propagated some old old roses from cuttings & kept them in pots (I move a lot) my question is , do roses prefer cool roots? Should I surround the pot with some kind of insulation, like wet burlap. They don’t need water but they still suffer. These roses were 12 yrs old. I’m in CA and we have hot dry summers and it’s getting hotter.
Thx for the great info ❤️
Hi Shirley. I find that if I double-pot (smaller growing pot inside, slightly larger decorative pot outside) the air gap between them reduces solar gain on the soil. I'm sure a lighter colored mulch would be helpful too.
Thank you Jason! I've had good luck with my Don Juan it it's first year in a large container. I'm planning to start my bare root roses that i'll get in early spring in 5 gallon Home Depot containers in our little half hoop greenhouse - and its true that now I'm leaning toward keeping them more mobile. I also really love the height of container roses. I'm going to experiment with one larger container with 3 roses in it - maybe Munstead Wood. I wonder how large a container would make sense for the 3 roses?
Thanks again and warmest regards
Jennie
Great video, thank you! I am going to try my hand at overwintering some potted Explorer series roses in an unheated building here in Whitehorse, Yukon. This will give the added bonus of protecting them from the assorted rodents and moose who are problems with my current plantings.
Thank you so much for your insight on roses! Very helpful!
HI,thanks for the video its aligned for what I'm doing this coming year ,helps alot.
At around 4 mins talking about 3 choices of going larger pot, plant in ground or give it away.. what about cutting off 1/3 of the roots and putting back in the same size pot for roses? Thanks loving your vids, packed full of good info and you relate it all in a way that makes seed packets and stuff make sense
Some people are fans of root pruning (kind of like Bonsai) but I'm more inclined to up-pot myself.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Legend thank you
Always the best info here.
Thank you! You've helped me reach a decision I am quite happy to find out is possible!
This was really helpful.
Thanks Charles
Great job as always Jason. Here in so cal whatever I grow in pots gets ruined by fungus gnats, though never tried roses in pots before. I feel like I never wanna grow anything in pots any more, particularly fruits and veggies
Sorry to hear about your fungus gnat problems. I've tackled them before by reducing watering frequency - and also by topping the pots with something that dries out quicker (like vermiculite or rice hulls) because fungus gnats LOVE a moist soil surface. Then there's always BTI (bacillus) but I'm not sure how available that is in different jurisdictions.
If you have a lot of algae, fungus gnats feed on it. Like Jason said, letting the top dry off a bit or if appropriate a topping (1/2) granite/rock dust works well and can provide minerals too. Take a 5 gal bucket to your local stone - I yard will sell some just don’t go more than 1/2 way or you won’t be able to lift the bucket when you get home. All that said - the best way to eliminate them is the biological Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis). Mosquito Bits is used to kill mosquitoes and is now approved for use to kill fungus gnats. It is used across the country and in organic farming. It is very safe and only kills the larvae of mosquitoes, black flies and fungus gnats. See their website - and then look at the menu for other products. Note Summit also makes the super Mosquito Dunks - that work long term for ponds, pools, rain barrels, fountains, etc. I use the bits for quick knock down - if you kill the larvae there aren’t any to grow up to bite you. I sprinkle the bits on a low marshy area in my back yard and use the dunks in my little pond and rain barrel. If you have an algae issue, I also use Physan 20 as a preventative (PHYSAN 20™ is a broad range disinfectant, fungicide, virucide, and algaecide which effectively controls a wide variety of pathogens on hard surfaces, cutting tools, on seeds and cuttings to prevent damping off, downey mildew issues and other fungal disease as a pre-treatment, with cut flowers to last longer, to disinfect fountains, greenhouses, pots, and on many plants including ornamentals, turf, African violets, and orchids. It is a QAC, is safe, doesn’t ruin clothes or smell nor is it hard on hands like bleach. I use it to clean my kitchen and bathroom floors. It is toxic to fish - don’t discharge to drains, sewers, nor use in the direct presence of fish but it can be used as directed, and then thoroughly rinsed. In most applications, it is allowed to airdry and then used. If you still have folks who smoke, they will have tobacco mosaic virus on their hands and can spread to many ornamentals from orchids to tomato plants. Have them dip their hands in a Physan 20 solution as directed and let airdry before handling any plants or anything in the greenhouse. It is also used, again, at the appropriate strength to drench potting media and bark. See it’s website and the APPLICATIONS tab. Always check and follow directions. My suggestion, is you read each item under the Applications tab as there are items of interest for general use under each one...I.e. the TMV is found under orchids. And even if you don’t have a greenhouse, there are items there that are valuable even if you don’t have one. It is economical as most uses are in teaspoon to tablespoons -runs around $12 for 16 Oz but can be bought in larger volume. This is in the same family (QAC) Jason recommended when making cuttings but each product has its own dosages and uses. www.physan.com/

Hi Jason. I have a sceptre’d Isle in pot in Toronto. Will it survive if kept on my balcony over the winter? I don’t have a shed or garage unfortunately. Looking forward to you wise input ❤
I am a bit confused about wintering over for potted roses. Can you expound ? Are you suggesting to simply line the pots up in a row under an eve or do yo bury them? Water, how much and how often? I have a small unseated greenhouse. Some days in winter it will be 90 degrees F or 28 C but it does go below freezing at night. Is that too extreme? Thanks, Doug
Hi Doug. Those small greenhouses fluctuate so quickly, it's pretty hard on the plants. If you have an unheated shed or cool garage, that might be best, but even gathering them close to a building for shelter will offer some protection. If you dig or mound around the pots a bit, so much the better.
Hi Jason. Thanks so much for your great videos. I recently moved to a new place where I have a garden :) I have a dozen hybrid teas in 10 gallons pots and they been in there for about 3 years. They were originally bare roots. Its autumn now in Australia and I would like to put them in the ground. Should I convert them back to bare root before transferring them or keep the root ball intact. Thank u again
Hi David - if you can retain the roots in good condition as much as possible, it'll reduce transplant shock. Have a look at the roots when you remove from the container. You could break them up a bit if they're circling and rootbound.
You are amazing, I adore your explanations. Smiles
Hi Jason
Thank you for your very informative teaching on roses in containers.
Do you know how to deal with die back also what causes die back.
Thank you
From Australia QLD GoldCoast
Blessings to you and your family 🕊💐
Great video. I am undecided between rose varieties for a very large container and now I am confident to try things out in pots first. Question: what variety is the white rose in your video i.e. shrub, hybrid tea etc and does it have a name? It is really pretty and looks super healthy. I had previously read that roses can’t be potted on like this, but you are the proof of the pudding (so to speak) that they can.
Thanks Cecilia. I think I had 'Iceberg' in this video.
I just received a miniature cordona rose in a pot. I live in the south eastern corridor in New Jersey. Can this plant be potted outside make it through the winter time? I really enjoyed your video. Very informative. Thank you. 😊
