In pots can be a really useful way of Utilising You’re growing space im potting the new realise for 2022 “bring me sunshine)
Make sure you choose the correct size plant for the correct size pot if this is going to be a permanent feature also do not have scrimp and save on the growing media that you use
I would suggest using a loam based compost
Such as a John Innes number three, here in this video I’ve mixed my compost with 25% eco-mix from @Eco _ sustainable_ Solutions to give the soil some extra nutrition
Pay close attention to the drainage and add a good layer of crocs broken up polystyrene or scrunched up plant pots to ensure that the Drainage hole in the bottom of the pot does not clogged up with compost putting the pot up on hot feet is also a good idea
When planting pay attention to the graft or union of the plant in mild areas in the UK this should just be above soil level if you’re growing in Colder climates it is suggested this is place just below soil level to protect it from the worst of the cold

The finished compost height should be around 3 cm from the top of the pot allowing you a good watering reservoir and to dress the top of the pot as you feel fit , don’t be tempted to use large decorative pebbles as a dressing for plant pots The stones warm up in the Sun and often keep heat late into the evening cooking the roots rather than shielding them from the Sun something like horticultural grit works really well here
Take care when handling the rose to ensure that the root ball contained within the part does not break away from the main roof structure make sure you wear good quality gloves when doing this mine are from @Henchmanltd

Great tips apu.
Back doing some homework!
That's just a lovely combination of pot and rose! I'm loving this video...the bird noise makes up for the wind :)
Love your planting techniques Ben, think these two are going to look stunning in their new pots! 🙂
Thank you, I hope so
Too
I’m excited to catch up on your videos! Wow that’s a beautiful planter! At first I thought it was wooden!
Isn’t it stunning
Really useful, thank you. Bring me sunshine is on my list for next year. I got a Gentle Hermione this year and is gorgeous. I never considered how big a pot these roses would need - that's enormous. I've only ever planted in the ground. I think they'll look stunning. X
Just discovered your Chanel I 💜 it!
Welcome along
I’m new to your videos & truly love watching them‼️ I’ve ordered 2 David Austin roses & can’t wait to receive them so I can plant them in their new pots‼️I’ve watched all your planting videos, along with having watched David Austin’s planting videos, too‼️I’ve ordered all my special planting supplies I learned about in your videos so I’m ready to plant when my roses do arrive plus I’ve watched your care & pruning videos so I’m learning all I can‼️ Thank you so very much‼️Debbie from Texas, USA🥰❤️❤️
Brilliant ! What did you get ?
@@the_gardenerben I ordered a Scepter’ Isle & a Life of the Party❣️I’m hoping they’ll do well in large pots but I’m really worried about planting them this time of our super hot summer‼️ I also want to order a Celestial Night due to its size, vivid color & I’ve read where it does well in our hot Texas weather but I plan to buy it early spring next year. I hope I haven’t made a mistake buying my first roses this time of our hot summer. They should arrive by July 7 thru July 10. Please share any special advice you have for me planting this time of year‼️🥰 Thank you so much ~ Debbie, Texas, USA 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing. I ordered ten David Austin bare root roses. I received them in February and got them all planted. It’s March 31st and they are beautiful with tons of blooms. They haven’t opened yet. I planted them all in large pots. I’m so excited for them to bloom. David Austin rose’s are the best. His roses are so healthy and beautiful. Blessings to you and your family 🙏
They are already in Bud ? Wow 💚
Would you share how feed the newly potted rose like this ?
This is first year for me to have David Austin rose in my garden
Thank you so much for sharing beauty and your work🌹🌹
Of course, a newly potted rose like this with the correct potting media will have everything it needs for several months so no need to feed at this point 💚
Hello , rose lovers! I am about to purchase a David Austin Rose as a gift for my daughter's 7th birthday. I am planning to have it planted in a pot, on the balcony on the East. We live in the Netherlands where summers are not super hot and winters are not too harsh. I have not cared for a potted rose before and I have a few questions. Any advice would be much appreciated. For my container of 40 cm x 40 cm how much water should I use so that the roots get enough water? I am at total loss: should it be a few cups or a few liters? And how often should I water it in a warm season? And the last one: how often and how much water should a potted rose receive if left on the balcony in winter time? Thanks for reading through this and do know that your help is much appreciated.
I’ve got several David Austin roses in large pots, it’s now beginning of May and roses are growing well with lots of buds but I have got some Leaf Curl and don’t want what to do about it.
Curling leaves can often be caused by cold or dry wind. Make sure that you’re keeping them well watered it could also be aphid so do you check underneath the leaves to make sure that they’re not hiding any critters?
Thanks mate. I build a container from pallets (60cm x 60cm x 60cm) and left bottomless to let the plant use ground soil in the future if needed more room (Ghislane de Feligonde rambler and Gertrude Jekyll climbing rose) so that I did not use any crocs.
I bought a bulk bag of soil mix (%50 soil, %40 organic compost, %10 well-rotted horse manure). Am I on the right way?
Sounds like you’re on the right path one little tip if you haven’t already planted them just to make sure that you break up the soil underneath your home-made planters to make sure that they can escape into the soil as you wish them to
Ben can i please ask you a question on your video youve said to place the union above ground level which is what i already do, but David austin videos show them burying theirs below ground level. In your opinion which is correct? So appreciate your imput. Do you also use broken pot at the bottom of the pot for drainage? Really appreciate your feedback. Thanks Suzie' uk
Would you ever plant more than one rose in a pot?
Also, what about under planting roses in pots? Any suggestions? 🌹💕
Personally no, I understand david austin plant up to 3 in a pot to get a certain look in less time but one is plenty if you chose too NEVER mix varieties you can under plant with bulbs and bedding plants if you like 💚
Hi many thanks for this lovely video. Where can I buy the potting compost "eco mix" u r using please or just suggest a good multipurpose compost to mix with John Innes no 3. Thanks
Hi, I’m glad that guy enjoyed it yes you can mix this media with John innings no 3
Take a look at www.thisiseco.co.U.K.
@@the_gardenerben did check the link but find it too expensive.
Good quality peat free compost is
Thanks for making this informative video. Could you please comment on the sort of care you would give beyond the next few months? Would you, for example, change the soil after a couple of years or would a proper feeding regime be enough?
All on its way over the coming month
@@the_gardenerben Great!
Hi Ben, Although I live in Australia (Autumn now) I love to watch your videos and rose recommendations. So much so that I have ordered 20+ roses for this winter which the majority are David Austin roses. I have a question for you, in the mean time I have bought 2 x Wollerton Hall bare root roses from the nursery (online orders sold out) today but the planting spot in the garden hasnt yet been identified as I have to install an arch I bought which will take some time. The bare root roses are currently sitting in a bucket of water. How do I treat the rose till I have its place in the garden ready? Is it safe to plant it in a pot, another area of the garden etc.? Would really like some help, thanks.
Hi and welcome along I’m so pleased that you like the content if you go right back to the beginning of my posting there is a series of videos posted last November as long as the rose is going to be in the ground before it physically wakes up which for you guys is going to be in around three months time I suggest you either put it up or heal it into the ground There are videos for both basically once the rose is rehydrated which you’re doing at the moment plant it into a temporary spot and aim to move it before it starts re-growing roots or shoots
@@the_gardenerben Thanks Ben much appreciated.
I'm in the US and just received my roses from David Austin this week. I planted them but kept the union above the soil. Kinda afraid to put it below as I've never heard of doing that. I guess a replant is in order.
Advice on the matter has changed with our winters becoming much more unpredictable advice will differ depending on which particular growing zone you are in if you have gone ahead and planted them. The easiest way forward is to mulch over them in the winter protecting the union from the worst of the weather you can do this with woodchip leaf mulch, spent compost or straw
@@the_gardenerben Thank you for the great information in your reply! I had put them in pots so re-potted before they really established. We are 6b in the US but our winters get near -20 some years so probably for the best to follow your lead!
@@EdgewoodGarden you can always bring the entire pot into a shed, or outbuilding for the worst parts of the winter, or wrap them in Hessian or cotton cloth protect the root ball during the worst parts of your winter
@@the_gardenerbenis there a max time to wrap them or bring them inside the garage? Is Jan-March too long?
@@clb52000 it will very much depend on how your season goes but as soon as the plant goes dormant and shed it saves your safe to bring it in to a unheated out building such as a garage shed or carport and many people that bring them in at the very beginningof December and don’t place them back outside again until at least the beginning of March, but it’s something that you’ll have to monitor as soon as they start waking up and it’s probably best that they go back outside
I've not long planted a Gertrude Jekyll shrub rose and i've planted it in the same manner it was in the pot, and that is with the union just proud of the soil, the canes are half covered by soil as they join the union. I've been advised that the whole union should be covered by soil and i think i see thats how you've done yours. Is this important? If so, should i wait a week or two as i have a new cane just starting to grow from the union, it's only 1cm long and i wouldn't like to damage it?
Where are you in the world
@@the_gardenerben i'm in the uk, south west-ish
In one of your videos for winter pruning you say give roses fire ash or potash. However, my soil is in the Cotswolds and has lime in it.
Potash or fire ash (I assume this has similar plant food) is what you advise but what shall I give my roses before composting in March
as my soil has lime and very free draining. I would be grateful for your advice.
I would still use a dressing of fire ash or a slow release such as grow more before mulching
@@the_gardenerben Many thanks for your reply. I have loads of wood ash to dispose of.
@@valeriealford9992 around one cupful per plant is more than enough dust
It over a round 1m2 and lightly turn it in with a hand fork in March/April
@@the_gardenerben Good advice for March. Will do. Thanks.
@@the_gardenerben After the wood ash treatment in March is it OK to put manure around the roses or perhaps compost. Manure is what I was planning to use but maybe just compost as a mulch is best.
I'm worried now DA told me to plant the graft 2" below soil level so I've buried it.
Don’t panic Just keep any eye out for root stock suckers, this growth will come from below ground level and should look completely different to your usual plant it will most likely have difference coloured flowers if left to bloom, Stems like T jd should be completely removed
I wish the ones I ordered looked that good. I lost 2 of mine out of 3 that came to me in very bad condition(bare root). It looked like they had been stepped on and the box was completely crushed. I tried to save them but they did not make it. Very bad experience with ordering David Austin roses. Sorry.
They have a warranty and will replace. Give them a chance to make it right. As well, they cannot control shipping other than by the best, most reputable. I'm sure the rose was perfect when it went in the packaging.
