You might try planting your roses in a wire cage. Then they can’t get to the roots. I am 75 yrs and am still very active...I watch your videos and get inspired to just get out and plant.
You can get gopher baskets from Amazon under the name of RootGuardTM. I get the 3 gallon size for ALL MY ROSES. Actually I follow a similar design now and make my own because they are expensive when you have to plant every rose and many other things in baskets. I just posted this on Fb but wanted to be sure you saw it.
I, for one, appreciate the 'real life' gardening! It's great seeing you do things in the garden even when it's not optimal weather or timing! Too many videos/garden tv shows make it appear they're always gardening in the best sunshine with no sweating & no getting dirt on their freshly pressed clothing or face, etc. They never seem to run into rocks or roots. The plants they dig up, magically come right out with no strain whatsoever😐 Yeah, that's not true gardening! Sometimes ya gotta move things, sometimes you're racing the weather, and EVERY TIME you're gonna get dirty!😆 I think that's why so many of us can feel a connection with you... because you're real😊 Keep doing what y'all do, it's awesome!!
The voles do that to many of our plants, especially roses. We put harware cloth baskets in the holes and then planted the roses in them which stops them. We have had great luck re-rooting the roses devoured by the voles. Place them back in soil an keep them moist, in your coldframe would be perfect, and you would be amazed at how they do.😉
I agree. Roses root very easily and those are nice bushes that it's worth trying. Just cut them back very hard first so they aren't trying to support a large structure, sprinkle mycorhizzae on the stump and try it. Maybe the odds are great, but nothing to lose. :)
Can you and Aaron PLEASE do a winter watering video (trees, shrubs, perennials, evergreens)? Seeing how you guys do it for your diverse garden would really help all of us with ours. Thank you!!
I love seeing “real life gardening.” It’s very educational and I’m looking forward to seeing how the plants do in the spring. When you went to get the repellant, it occurred to me how many questions I have about proper storage of all the fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, repellants, sprays, and concentrates we, gardeners, use. Is there an acceptable temperature range for liquids, for powders? What happens if it gets too cold? If it gets too hot does the fertilizer get activated? Hope you can explain this stuff. Thank you for all the work you do with such great care and enthusiasm, in all kinds of weather.
I was just about to close video when you showed the cutting tree root, which I have a couple in yard and wasn’t sure how to get rid of - thanks for adding these little spontaneous problems to your videos.
Windy coffee with Laura and transplanting which is good to see that you sometimes have to just get out there and do it! That was so sad about the roses and I hope you get those darn gophers turned away. I love it that you show all the parts of gardening including inclement weather and pests!!
Awww sorry about your roses. Well, now that your plants are in their new homes maybe you can have a nice warm cup of cocoa. And warm up inside with your husband and Benjamin.
you were so funny. had to laugh several times. I like the spots you found for the plants. thank you for taking us with you in your garden. I love yours as I do mine. I love Living with plants!!
The ideas of others to re-rot the roses needs to be a video. They're so pretty and deserve a try to save. The new places for the transplants is perfect, more white in the moonlight garden yay. 🌼💕
🌿Laura, should we ever be concerned about watering too much in the winter? Will it kill the plant if moist soil around the roots freezes into an ice block? 🤔
Good question!! She did mention cutting back on watering once it snows. I thought you stopped watering in winter because they didn’t need it in the cold but... guess not!
Yes, I don’t know about your climate but where I am you want everything to be dry because we get so much rain, I don’t water a single thing from October through february, when plants are dormant their roots aren’t absorbing or using water so all the water in the pot is just sitting there which will rot the roots, I usually have to tuck my pots into a dry corner where the rain doesn’t reach. Laura lives in an extremely dry climate where she gets hardly any rainfall so unless you’re in similar conditions you can’t follow everything she does
I have been battling voles eating my roses this year. I did a video of how I have saved them even though the base was eaten to a nub. I am so glad they rerooted. I love my David Austin roses and having them eaten by these rodents is a night mare. Been here twenty years and never had a problem. I didn't know gophers would eat them too.
Laura, you have never been so REAL as you were in this video! You were cold, frustrated, doing chores that were unscheduled, and the wind was doing its thing. We all have those days and ours aren't on video. Actually seeing you cope with the problems and enjoying your new gloves made me relax. The fact that you ran into unexpected drip lines and huge roots just endeared you to all of us because we are just people who like to garden and hate to run into those distractions that have to be fixed along the way. Detours are annoying! Keep smiling--Pixie.
Laura, I fully empathize about the lost roses. I had a terrible problem with voles eating my hosta roots. They’d chew them down like an apple core. Now I routinely use molemax when I plant everything. Molemax also comes in a hose end application product so one can irrigate and apply the repellant simultaneously.
Thank you for showing the “real life” challenges and how you tackle them. I gives me a little relief to not stress about book perfect timing of tasks and just get it done.
The “real life “ garden videos are awesome 👏! It’s a lovely reminder that even though sometimes the situations/timing aren’t ideal, life happens! All the best as you do your late fall transplanting 😀👌🙏
So happy to have found you!!!!! I'm only 2 hours away from you in Riggins. I'll come see your folks garden center in the Spring, can't wait. Meanwhile, I'll binge watch your videos this winter and plan my gardens with your wonderful advice. You are absolutely darling and SO inspiring!
Real-life gardening indeed! Dealing with, surviving and thriving in spite of critters seeking a salad bar, and contending with Nature's moods. I've actually worn myself out using a shovel to cut through tree roots that size. WHY didn't I think of a saw?? lol
I noticed when you planted the limelight hydrangea you made a little well around it. I would love if you could show the best way to plant on a small slope and how you make sure the water doesn’t run past the plant, but also doesn’t fill too much. Thank you!
I started with 2 spiera and now have over 50. Over a 4 yr span.. They can be divided but tricky as the root ball is very woody. For example your spirea I would have made 4 plants. I take am electric saw zall and cut it into 4 pieces like a pie. . They look ugly at first but once spring sets in they take off and fill in and look awesome. My success rate is like 97%. I've had 1 that died. I do this in late winter early spring though. I only have 2 varieties, about 25 of each.
So sad about those roses, I noticed that several people suggested rerooting them in your cold frame, roses are pretty resistant and should come back around. Also I have heard there is something you can plant around them so the gophers can't get to the roots. I am always inspired by all of your videos. Now this spring I am super excited to tackle the projects I will have drawn on paper so I don't forget where I want things. Thanks Laura and Aaron, I can't wait to see more videos, have a great day, bye for now.
I would also try to save the roses by planting them in pots in your cold frame, after cutting them back.Roses are amazing survivors. Good luck with the gofers I hope you find a way to keep them out of your roses.
Oh, Laura, I'm so sorry about your roses. You've got a lot invested in them, so I hope you're able to get them to root. I bet you can. I missed seeing Benjamin and the kitties, but I wouldn't want them out in that weather. Go have a cup of hot chocolate to warm up! ~ Lisa
Kudos to you Laura that wind would put me off any gardening projects, well done bet they will look gorgeous in spring. Side note: i know u dont tie yr hair but im thinking u might have wished u had a scrunchie nearby 😂😂
Couple of things, Laura I got excited when you said ponytail!!! I thought today would be the day!!! And I see an extension cord and Christmas lights!!! Also, you might like mini split units for AC/heat. Just a thought! Love watching!!
I have a gorilla cart too! Love at first sight, I bought the regular all rubber tires because the tires were always flat, being solid rubber NO more flat tires. I cannot live without it. Sorry about gophers nothing is prettier than roses. Great as always video.
Come on, Laura show us your magic! Put those roses in the cold frame with soone root hormone or something and see what happens!! 👏😂😂that makes me sick they did that! 😢
You just amaze me. I too had to transplant one of my lime hydrangeas just last week. I'm hoping it survives. Our temps here in nj are up and down right now. Great video Laura 🌻💗🌻💗
Bad gophers! I also noticed the barbed wire in front of your fence. I must have missed the episode of your installing it. Great idea to keep Benjamin in.
Audio was great 👍🏾 you are my coffee ☕️ morning video please don’t stop is addictive I have never see fern in cold climate I 🤔 I’m use to see fern in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 so I thought it was a Caribbean plant 🌱 🥰
Hi Laura, two part question. Actually three!!! Firstly could you store the plants you dug out in your cold frame? Could you take cuttings from your poor roses (what a bummer) and.....what the heck is a well house??🤔 Ps. I love love your channel and actually binge watched last winter while I was sick and shut in with shingles.
Hi Laura, Love the void you were talking about moving plants for renovations, I had to moved one before we had our new windows put in, It was my favorite one with little light purple flowers on it. I lose it never mind Looks like i get to go shopping for a new one. Cheers Deb
Moved from way north California to Arizona and our zones are completely the opposite of Laura’s. I Can’t grow any of the same plants but I still watch her videos. Maybe some tomatoes this winter. Fingers crossed.
Yes, we do have to do things when the timing is not right! We deal with too much rain, mostly, and have to wait until it’s dry enough to transplant. I hope you can get rid of those gophers! How annoying! It made me so sad 😞 for your roses to see that damage! Hopefully they will leave your new transplants alone! Thanks for this video and hope y’all have a great weekend! 💚🌿🍁
Oh no!! So sorry about the roses! Love the real life gardening!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I know you’re going to think of something great to replace those roses... maybe more or maybe something new. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Hope you get inside and get warm!! 🔥
Hi Laura & Aaron, Love your videos, thank you for all the great content! I've been watching for about 2 years but I still get confused on the layout of your garden, would it be possible for you to post an arial view of your property with wind direction & names of the different gardens?
Thanks to you, Laura, I actually planted some daffodil bulbs this week! I've never 'dared' to plant this late in the season, but saw bulbs on sale and went for it! Thank you for your encouragement to try it when the soil is still workable, even when the weather's cold! Looking forward to some beautiful blooms this spring!❤
Laura you always make me smile, a very good way to start my morning. But I really had to chuckle at the ads that were inserted in this video............”We can deal with eaten flowers but we cannot deal with bleeding gums.”
Laura, next time you plant your roses, make up a ring of hardware cloth and a bottom if necessary and set your rose root ball in that. Might just work?
Always so informative and you have a marvelous way of educating us to inspire gardening no matter what the weather. Hope you went in and got a huge mug of hot cocoa.
Gophers take my good stuff too. They have expensive taste. The only place I don’t have a problem at is an area that used to have decorative rock and now it’s all mixed in down. I wonder if putting some rock at bottom would help for permanent stuff.
Good morning Laura I have similar problem with gophers. I started planting roses in a cage made out of hardware cloth. Lucky you that deals with lose soil on November 22. My soil is already frozen and tulip bulbs are still waiting to be planted....
Crossing my fingers that everything survives!! Bummer about your roses, very frustrating - darn gophers! At least the sun was out during the replant but that wind makes it colder! Good luck & anxious to watch everything come back to life next Spring!!!! 🤞🌬🥶🌲🌿
I know in your old house garden tour you mentioned the black swan beech in your front yard and how much you loved it. Will you be planting any ones here? I love your videos and you're such an inspiration!
Try making a wire barrel and put the rose inside of that in the ground... When there little claws hit that it will totally make them go away. It work for me and the rose are doing wonderfully...
“Gotta do what ya gotta do!” Aaron please buy that girl some warm socks 🧦 for 🎄Christmas! She can wear them with her worn out shoes and have warm feet!!! 👟😂 💕 I just couldn’t resist! Hugs ❣️⛄️🥶❄️🎁🧦🧤🧣🎄❣️
I had no idea what a problem gophers are. In Iowa our underground pests are moles which I fortunately do not have in my yard. It’s kind of tragic to lose two big roses at one time. I know you’ll put something else there that is just as beautiful.
I must transplant my Annabelle hydrangea this weekend and luckily for me you posted this video. We're not as cold yet in NJ but it won't be long. Sorry about your DA roses, I'd be bummed too.
Fingers crossed that the plants come back in the spring. Love their new location. Sorry about your roses 😞. Can you plant something there they don’t like to eat? Maybe the roses attracted them?
You might try planting your roses in a wire cage. Then they can’t get to the roots. I am 75 yrs and am still very active...I watch your videos and get inspired to just get out and plant.
Great idea!!!
You are blessed
Those are goals

Actually I follow a similar design now and make my own because they are expensive when you have to plant every rose and many other things in baskets. I just posted this on Fb but wanted to be sure you saw it.
They have been known to come down inside the basket and dig down. Keep active and digging as I just turn 72. Still have 300 bulbs to plant
I, for one, appreciate the 'real life' gardening! It's great seeing you do things in the garden even when it's not optimal weather or timing!

That's a very clever idea!
Thank you! I came to the comments looking for a solution. And whoop there it is. 😜
Laura says, “ Oh I’m so irritated at those gophers right now.” - so sweet - normal irritated person, “#@&*!” - God bless you! 🥰❤️
I thought the same thing! If I were Laura I'd have to turn off the camera and say a few choice words... real loud!
Can you and Aaron PLEASE do a winter watering video (trees, shrubs, perennials, evergreens)? Seeing how you guys do it for your diverse garden would really help all of us with ours. Thank you!!
I love seeing “real life gardening.” It’s very educational and I’m looking forward to seeing how the plants do in the spring.

Good question
I also wondered about fertilizers getting activated in the heat.
Same questions. Thanks for asking them for me!🙂🌱
I always wonder if I'm storing those items in the proper area too. Thanks for asking those questions.
I was just about to close video when you showed the cutting tree root, which I have a couple in yard and wasn’t sure how to get rid of - thanks for adding these little spontaneous problems to your videos.
I love your “real life gardening” videos. Reminds me that just like life gardening doesn’t always go the way we planned.
Windy coffee with Laura and transplanting which is good to see that you sometimes have to just get out there and do it! That was so sad about the roses and I hope you get those darn gophers turned away. I love it that you show all the parts of gardening including inclement weather and pests!!
Way to go. Nothing stops you! Grab that saw and finish the project in the cold!
Omg Laura my heart just broke for you when I saw what the gopher did to your roses 😭😭😭
I love all of your videos they really get me through the day they are therapy for me they take me out of my own life for a while thank you
And we are eagerly awaiting to see what other surprises you picked up at the garden center.
Awww sorry about your roses. Well, now that your plants are in their new homes maybe you can have a nice warm cup of cocoa. And warm up inside with your husband and Benjamin.
I want to see the final video for this project!
you were so funny. had to laugh several times.
I like the spots you found for the plants.

Have definitely wondered this, too
Once the plants are dormant, they don’t drink
Much. So you don’t water when the ground is frozen.

Laura gardens like I eat ribs... If it doesn't get all over your face, it's not good. :)
My Concrete Paradise haha. Too funny
same. Gotta get dirty!
🤣
Laughing so hard.. 😂
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 Hi Laura, Good morning everyone.
I would also try to save the roses by planting them in pots in your cold frame, after cutting them back.Roses are amazing survivors. Good luck with the gofers I hope you find a way to keep them out of your roses.
Ring those roses with daffodils and see if that repells the gophers.
Not a bad idea since they (and deer) hate daffodils (and alliums).
Great video. Thanks for being out there in the wind to educate us on what to do if this happens to you.
So pretty with your hair blown back, I always looked like a hot mess when I lived in a “challenging” area!😊
You are amazing!! In that weather!!, no way I'd be out there! Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
Thanks Laura you are so cute even with dirt on your face. Real life that's so true and it does happen to the best of us. Love the show.
Oh, Laura, I'm so sorry about your roses. You've got a lot invested in them, so I hope you're able to get them to root. I bet you can. I missed seeing Benjamin and the kitties, but I wouldn't want them out in that weather. Go have a cup of hot chocolate to warm up! ~ Lisa

Try planting garlic around your roses. I had a very old farmer tell me that. It seemed to work!
I have a gorilla cart too! Love at first sight, I bought the regular all rubber tires because the tires were always flat, being solid rubber NO more flat tires. I cannot live without it. Sorry about gophers nothing is prettier than roses. Great as always video.
Come on, Laura show us your magic! Put those roses in the cold frame with soone root hormone or something and see what happens!! 👏😂😂that makes me sick they did that! 😢
Even in the very cold you are out working, you are amazing:)
You just amaze me. I too had to transplant one of my lime hydrangeas just last week. I'm hoping it survives. Our temps here in nj are up and down right now. Great video Laura 🌻💗🌻💗
What kneeling pad😁 I stopped bringing mine out because I forget to use it. Good job, Laura! That's true gardening dedication to work in that weather!
This is true Laura in her natural habitat,one of your best!
Bad gophers! I also noticed the barbed wire in front of your fence. I must have missed the episode of your installing it. Great idea to keep Benjamin in.
Audio was great 👍🏾 you are my coffee ☕️ morning video please don’t stop is addictive I have never see fern in cold climate I 🤔 I’m use to see fern in Jamaica 🇯🇲 Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 so I thought it was a Caribbean plant 🌱 🥰
You are just like your plants and flowers year round all season no matter what die hard plant people 🌱🌿💐
Nice job Laura 👍..was asking my self why i never see your hair in a ponytail like to see that a day specialy when it is soo windy day 😊👍
Hi Laura, two part question. Actually three!!! Firstly could you store the plants you dug out in your cold frame? Could you take cuttings from your poor roses (what a bummer) and.....what the heck is a well house??🤔 Ps. I love love your channel and actually binge watched last winter while I was sick and shut in with shingles.
Hi Laura, Love the void you were talking about moving plants for renovations, I had to moved one before we had our new windows put in,
It was my favorite one with little light purple flowers on it. I lose it never mind Looks like i get to go shopping for a new one. Cheers Deb
Moved from way north California to Arizona and our zones are completely the opposite of Laura’s. I Can’t grow any of the same plants but I still watch her videos. Maybe some tomatoes this winter. Fingers crossed.
Laura is there anyway to take cuttings from your damaged roses and root them in your cold frame building? So sad they were damaged😢
I was wondering the same thing.
Always wise to dig hole that the plant is going to first before pulling old plant out.
Very informative as usual for us new aspiring gardeners. Thanks you guys!!😀
Laura, please give us an update on these plants in the spring.
Loving the dirt smudge.. u show life in the most relevant ways and that's why I love you guys😊
Yes, we do have to do things when the timing is not right! We deal with too much rain, mostly, and have to wait until it’s dry enough to transplant. I hope you can get rid of those gophers! How annoying! It made me so sad 😞 for your roses to see that damage! Hopefully they will leave your new transplants alone! Thanks for this video and hope y’all have a great weekend! 💚🌿🍁
Oh no!! So sorry about the roses! Love the real life gardening!! Thanks so much for sharing this. I know you’re going to think of something great to replace those roses... maybe more or maybe something new. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. Hope you get inside and get warm!! 🔥
Hi Laura again if you put your roses in there ground you could put some strong wire around you root ball
Hi Laura & Aaron, Love your videos, thank you for all the great content! I've been watching for about 2 years but I still get confused on the layout of your garden, would it be possible for you to post an arial view of your property with wind direction & names of the different gardens?
So sorry about your roses. Love seeing the seasonal changes. I’m in zone 9 and there’s barely any change so I’m fascinated.
Thanks to you, Laura, I actually planted some daffodil bulbs this week! I've never 'dared' to plant this late in the season, but saw bulbs on sale and went for it! Thank you for your encouragement to try it when the soil is still workable, even when the weather's cold! Looking forward to some beautiful blooms this spring!❤
Laura you always make me smile, a very good way to start my morning. But I really had to chuckle at the ads that were inserted in this video............”We can deal with eaten flowers but we cannot deal with bleeding gums.”
How nice to have a wonderful partner to join in with you in what you do. I love that.
Those David Austin roses are gigantic, I’ve never seen any that size in any nurseries.
I bought a 15 gallon one, it cost me $75 though....big mistake.
Take hardware mesh and make a cage around your root balls when you plant. Tractor supply has all sorts of sizes. Gotta keep those gophers out!
Laura, next time you plant your roses, make up a ring of hardware cloth and a bottom if necessary and set your rose root ball in that. Might just work?
Lovely real-life gardening!
Always so informative and you have a marvelous way of educating us to inspire gardening no matter what the weather. Hope you went in and got a huge mug of hot cocoa.
Proud of you for not cutting through the drip line!
You could add some of that repellent to lawn fertilizer when feeding lawns. Also use hand fertilizer scatterer in flowerbeds
So sad about your roses and i will keep my fingers crossed for the hydrangea and your bush hopefully they will come back beautiful in the spring
Can the tank tops come in larger sizes for the busty Gals 🤗
Looks great! Love the formality of that part of your garden.
I can hardly wait for a Spring update video! Best wishes.
Make wire cages for rose roots. Always works for me. Never worry again.
Gophers take my good stuff too. They have expensive taste. The only place I don’t have a problem at is an area that used to have decorative rock and now it’s all mixed in down. I wonder if putting some rock at bottom would help for permanent stuff.
Good morning Laura I have similar problem with gophers. I started planting roses in a cage made out of hardware cloth. Lucky you that deals with lose soil on November 22. My soil is already frozen and tulip bulbs are still waiting to be planted....
Stay warm!
Hope you are done working outside for a while and enjoying the cozy inside
Crossing my fingers that everything survives!! Bummer about your roses, very frustrating - darn gophers! At least the sun was out during the replant but that wind makes it colder! Good luck & anxious to watch everything come back to life next Spring!!!! 🤞🌬🥶🌲🌿
I know in your old house garden tour you mentioned the black swan beech in your front yard and how much you loved it. Will you be planting any ones here? I love your videos and you're such an inspiration!
RIP Beautiful roses!
Try making a wire barrel and put the rose inside of that in the ground... When there little claws hit that it will totally make them go away. It work for me and the rose are doing wonderfully...
Your ankles look freezing, socks are good ☺
Would you be able to save the rose bush that had the one root still attached by using the Bio-tone?
Good experiment, I guess.
“Gotta do what ya gotta do!”
Aaron please buy that girl some warm socks 🧦 for 🎄Christmas! She can wear them with her worn out shoes and have warm feet!!! 👟😂 💕 I just couldn’t resist! Hugs
❣️⛄️🥶❄️🎁🧦🧤🧣🎄❣️
Aaron .. buy her shoes too 😂 Such dedication this girl has!!!
I vote for warm boots!
I agree with all these replays. Lol girl needs some new socks and shoes. 😁
She doesn't like boots though. Lol!
Michelle Fritz what does she wear outside in winter?!?!? Her "best" shoes? :))))
I had no idea what a problem gophers are. In Iowa our underground pests are moles which I fortunately do not have in my yard. It’s kind of tragic to lose two big roses at one time. I know you’ll put something else there that is just as beautiful.
I must transplant my Annabelle hydrangea this weekend and luckily for me you posted this video. We're not as cold yet in NJ but it won't be long. Sorry about your DA roses, I'd be bummed too.
I would love to try soaking those roses in rooting hormone as experiments if I can get my hand on those. ;)
Great video Laura, keep 'em coming, very enjoyable to watch x
Fingers crossed that the plants come back in the spring. Love their new location. Sorry about your roses 😞. Can you plant something there they don’t like to eat? Maybe the roses attracted them?
Thank you for sharing your day with us enjoyed watching.
