Late last summer, 2023, I planted New Dawn climbing rose in a large pot. I left the biodegradable container it came in. Zone 8. It is amazing & filled with branches & buds that are ready to pop. Early this Spring I pruned any parts that looked like they needed it. I even used sharp shears to cut off the thorns, but nothing that was 'green'. I have anchored the branches with twine, tied to branches of mature, blue Hydrangea. I even rooted some Catmint in the container. I understand it's a great companion to the roses. All of the plants I have are in containers. Clematis, ITOH peonies, nasturtiums, sweet peas, Cosmos, Baby's Breath - which last year was so huge you couldn't see the pot. I have to repot at least one of my ITOH peonies & expect I may have to do that with New Dawn as well. It's location is perfect & I am able to keep it well watered. & have given it food & lots of TLC. Jason has also said it's good to snip the flowers off as each flower opens & starts to fade. Apparently that will encourage more roses to grow. However, I may leave some hips at the end of the season since I understand they are very striking. Last but not least there are brunnera in pots at the back where it's shaded with a pop of vibrant pink impatience in yet another long pot above that. If I can find this post again I will let you know how the summer goes with New Dawn. Right now it is looking amazing & the flowers should start to open in the next day or two.
How lovely. My mom would love to have climbing roses in containers on either side of an arbor in a circle of pink rock above a stone bench. Now I can make that happen. Thank you!
I have found getting a wide edge cutlery kitchen knife & aerating the top 3 inches of soil, helps the rose so much. Gives that extra deep drink of water & oxygen it wants, done in late afternoon or evening after watering every few weeks. Not in freezing temperatures.

Good to know there are repeat climbers hardy to even zone 2 because we really can’t move them indoors during winter. Even a zone 3 repeat climber would suffice because we are in zone 5. Thank you.
I find that the cloth pots dry out really, really fast in my area, so I put a 1 inch tall plant saucer inside in the bottom (like, if it's a 16 inch pot, I'd put a 10 inch plant saucer) to hold in some extra water and it doesn't seem to bother them so much and it keeps the water in there a little longer. Also, in my area, those decorative pots are sold w/out any holes in them and I drill a hole in mine about 1 inch from the bottom so that the standing water can't get above 1 inch (like if it were to rain on them).
@@prajaktajoshi6280 With the hole 1 inch from the bottom, you can still use the pots indoors where you wouldn't want the water going through to the floor below.
Good idea on the fabric pots. I stopped growing in them for that reason. Now I'm wondering if it's better to use garden soil for them for that reason, since the potting soil is designed to drain water more quickly from non-porous pots.

I’ve really been enjoying your channel and learning a lot. 🌹Why do some rose companies say not to use granular fertilizer in pots and others use it quite successfully? This has been a point of confusion for me. One company has a year guarantee on their roses UNLESS you use granular fertilizer, which voids that warranty. Clearly, your plants are flourishing. Can you please clarify this for me, Jason? Thank you in advance.
Thanks Paula. It's a tough issue for rose growers to recommend the addition of fertilizer to their customers. 1) You're far more likely to kill the plant by over-fertilizing the young roots than you are to harm them by nutrient deficiency, and at least deficiency is easily corrected once it's observed. 2) the vendor doesn't want to pay for mistakes in fertilizer rates. As specific as they could be in instructions, it's not hard to imagine some customer thinking "more is better" or just estimates a handful would be okay because they can't figure out a conversion on the fertilizer bag. So, safer all around for the vendor to say "no fertilizer until it's established". I have no problem with this approach, but a low to mid rate of controlled release fertilizer in the pot can be helpful to even out the fertilizer supply. I'll likely be adding supplemental fertilizer anyway, but the base rate in the pot will cut down on the needs a bit. I do so at my own risk because I'm pretty comfortable & experienced in its use. In the ground I add almost nothing (maybe a little bone meal, but only if somehow the bag is already sitting nearby!) and just feed from the surface of the soil.
I just received a Julia Child rose for Mother's day that I have in a whiskey barrel-type pot. 1- I mixed vermiculite with my potting soil. Do I need to repot it using perlite instead? And 2- what is the best inexpensive trellis to put inside the pot since I don't have anything that it can climb up like you have on your patio. Thanks!
Hi Jason! Good information in video about pot size but how long can we keep roses in pots? Is it a good solution for long term, and what do we need to do yearly to maintain the roses in pots. Some of my strawberry planters had vine weevil grubs in them. Will roses be safe in pots?
For the most part, yes. There's not particular insect pest for rose roots. If you go a little "oversize" on the pots, you can get away for quite a while without repotting. Even in the minimum size described, I'd expect you can manage it for 2 to 3 years. I have roses in much larger pots that are going on 10 years now.
Jason, I am considering ceramics pots that are taller than what you used; 16.5” wide x 21.2” high. The climbing roses are Don Juan, Polka and GoldenShowers. Will 21.2” be deep enough for their root systems? Thank you! I am in Zone 10b.
Hi Jason, what do you think about growing roses in bottomless pot? Would it make easier (and safer) for the rose to be moved in a different spot if needed? There will be roots damages but maybe less than having to take it out from the ground. Not to mention less work to be done for the gardener!
Hi, I have a question about 3 climbing roses I purchased 2 years ago…the first year (2 springs ago) they did not provide any blooms, only foliage, this year they were covered in blooms; I cut all the roses and ended up giving a pretty good pruning to them in doing so but even prior to cutting I noticed the newest foliage, not the initial spring foliage covered in buds, was vigorous and quickly getting very long but no buds. It has now been over a month maybe 2 months since I cut the roses and still no new buds on any of the plants. Each rose had a new shoot that was extremely long, about 6 ft that I cut way back bc it had nothing on it. Is this normal?? Thanks so much! Lauren
Thank you for this video! Can you advise me on the care of a potted rose 2-3 years later? Do you replace all potting soil every year? I think the container is not draining as well as it did. Could I be watering it too much? Should I take rose out of pot altogether and start over with the soil? If so, can I do that at this time of year?
Hi Eileen. Yes, you can repot at this time of year as needed. If the pot size is large enough and the soil free draining, you can probably get away with repotting every 2-3 years (I have some roses in much larger pots that are going on to 10 years now).
Hold off heavy pruning until you see strong growth - it might be a year or more of establishment. I only tied up one cane this season before I pulled the pot in for winter, but I expect that the rose will do more this spring/summer.
Bring them in to a minimally heated space is the best option if you can work it out. Roses don't need to be kept from cold entirely, but deep cold and esp. with wind can kill the canes and/or crown.
Hello from Sweden. I have a question about fertilizing .. I bought a Ghislaine de feligonde. I have planted it in a large pot, and it is 60cm high and a lot of buds. Should I give it fertilizer….
Hi Annicka. Sounds like it's still small and just establishing, but with all those buds it's doing quite well. I'd let it flower and then deadhead and fertilize afterwards.
Hello! Thank you so much for this and all your other videos. Keep up the great work! So eloquent and thorough! Quick question. Last year when I planted my rose garden, I didn't plant the roses deep enough to cover the bud union. Do you recommend covering up the bud union with ground soil this spring? It will be a year since I planted the roses. Please and thank you!
Some people plant deeper, but I like to have the soil just *at* the bud union, so I can keep an eye on its condition. It can also depend on your climate - as many in cooler climates will recommend the bud union be well beneath the ground. Yes, I'd say bring the level of the soil up to just cover the bud union if it doesn't make for an awkward mound. Otherwise you could consider replanting.
Do your guidelines follow for climbing roses that have been in the ground for about five years (poss future video) How about prune both the roots and shoots and when would be best time (season) to carry it out SMILES
Thank you very much for your informative video. I've ordered two New Dawn climbing rose plants. Would you recommend New Dawn planted in a large container?
I bought one of those fabric pots , at the beginning I thought it was great but soon I realized it doesn't keep the moisture enough time to next watering, I also used a mix soil with perlite, humus and coconut fiber .
Thanks for the feedback on the product Albert. I haven't used them much except as an inner "lining" to an ornamental pot, which seems to solve some of the moisture problems.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm cant wait to watch and learn👏🏻👏🏻 i just put 3 new Roses on the ground like 3weeks ago. They were doing good until i found all the new growth was eaten by this ugly small smooth black caterpillars 😡. Btw Thanks for sharing your videos. You are awesome 👍🏻
I am learning g a lot with your videos. Questions my roses are constantly blooming but I notice the flowers are smaller and and the leaves too...what should I do...Houston here..
I usually find the size of bloom problem later in the summer, when there's not as much soil moisture. If your situation is similar, an increase in the watering schedule might help.
Hello, is there a particular reason why you didn’t just plant the rose in the big pot instead of the black pot? I am new to growing roses and don’t have much sun other than on my patio which will require them to be in pots. Your videos have been very informative. Thank you.
Thanks - a few reasons I can think of: 1) the outer container catches the sun so the soil in the inner container stays a bit cooler 2) you could switch out your inner containers easily to change the look of the area 3) if you want to bring the rose in to a sheltered location over winter, the inner container is a bit smaller and easier to move. This particularly applies if the outer container is ceramic or clay and quite heavy to move.
It's pretty hard to suggest a quantity and timing - everything depends on your climate, the soil, the plant, the position. Its a little like asking how often you should fill the gas tank of your car: it depends on the vehicle, terrain, and distance, but most people just fill the tank when they see it's getting empty. Likewise for plants, you'd need to tune in to the moisture level of your soil and any signs of wilt or stress on the plants.
How often do you need to change the potting mix in the pot? I have some on a deck out all year and I wonder if the potting mix breaks down after awhile? Thank you!
How about in Zone 5 where winter can dip down to 10 degrees F? My concern is the roots can freeze inside the pot in freezing temps. They don't have the insulating protection if planted in the ground. What are your thoughts?
Hi Jason. Thanks for the video. I am in zone 4b. I just bought the Rosa- rambling red rose. My deck gets a ton of sun through the day, and I’m hoping to pot it. What pot size would you recommend for a rambling rose? Thanks
You can probably start out with something in the 16 to 20 inch diameter range - the rose will likely demand more soil volume (to supply enough moisture) eventually, but it's a good start.
Will roses tolerate semi-hydro? I have never heard anyone comment on this topic I wonder if you’ve ever experimented with it. Thank you for your hard work! I really appreciate your postings. 😎
Hi Erica. I grew some roses (minis) successfully in aerated nutrient solution. They did okay, but when I tried to get them back into the garden, they sulked pretty badly.
Thank you for this!! Can you recommend on how to prune it in the container? I normally prune container shrub roses in the fall and apply dormant and wilt stop to overwinter outside (with burlap wall). Wondering what you would recommend for a container climber overwintering outside. I’m in zone 7a
Personally, I minimize pruning in the fall except just a light cleanup of dead, diseased or damaged stems and to nip off spent flowers. Dormant oil/lime sulfur is a good step, especially if you can defoliate first. Burlap is good. I mean, basically you already have a pretty good routine, and the only thing I might do differently is just leave the major pruning for spring (when you can also address any winter damage in the same step).
Hi, Jason, thanks for sharing! Can I put the fabric back inside a plastic pot to keep the temperature warmer for winter and cooler in summer? I plan to plant a bigger climber rose.
I have planted a Joseph's Coat rose at a grave site for my son Joseph. There is no place for it to climb. Do I need to put a trellis in or can become a bush or may grow lateral across the grave it self? Any advise.
I love the color of that rose. I haven't tried it with Joseph, but many climbers can either be trained laterally or as a shrub. In my climate, this is a bit of a difficult rose to keep healthy. I hope it comes out well for you.
If you choose a hardy enough rose, you can overwinter in place with no additional protection. The 'John Davis' rose I featured in the video is like zone 2, so pretty bulletproof. If the rose is borderline to your hardiness zone, you can wrap in place with dried leaves and burlap, or you can trim it back and move the container to amore sheltered location.
Hi Lucy. It depends on how hardy the rose is. The 'John Davis' I selected would be fine to overwinter in place. If the variety is more marginal in your area, you could bring the whole pot in for the winter - to an unheated structure like the garage or an outbuilding.
I have just brought home a large Eden climbing rose plant for my balcony in Paris. The nursing container is already 26x26 cm. Should I repot directly or let it acclimate to my balcony first? I only get 1-1.5 hours of direct sunlight but otherwise it is very bright. The guy at the nursery said it would be be great for them. He tied the roses up for their journey home. I am wondering if I should untie it? Some of the roses are heavy and drooping down to where their stems are almost snapping. Is this a sign to begin training it? I don’t know how much longer we will live here so my fear is having to leave her behind if I move and she is trained to the building but she is already very tall and seems to need support. Thank you for your expertise and tips if you have any for me!
Depends on the container actually, because some I do manage to wedge inside if there's a particularly cold stretch coming. If you do need to keep them out, make sure you're selecting varieties that are hardy to zone 6 or even 5, as a safety margin. You can wrap the bases of the plants in burlap to cut wind, or even pack some dried leaves in there. Shelter as best you can from biting wind and make sure they're not sitting under the roof line and getting staying soaked over winter.
What is the hardiness zone for southern Vancouver Island? Also, we cannot have water dripping from our balcony to other balconies below. How can I control this?
We have a small 3 foot kousa dogwood to plant in memory of a loved one. Because they grow quite tall, is it a bad idea to sink it in a large pot in the ground? Thinking of the roots spreading. Thanks
I've actually done Kousa dogwood trees in large pots, but they struggled with getting enough moisture in the summer. I probably could have watered more frequently, but they seem to be doing a lot better now that I have them in the ground.
Hi, your videos are amazing and have been very helpful. I am a novice at gardening rose plants and currently in USDA zone 9B. I have an iceberg white rose plant that I got three weeks back. But for past few days I have noticed that the buds are getting burnt a little and have a brown tan on them. Some younger buds are completely burnt.Few bigger buds are breaking and falling off :(. Can you please suggest what can I do.
Can I grow Arabian jasmine with my New dawn climbing rose? I've googled it and can't find anything definite I thought Jason would know. I'm zone 7b north Alabama mountains.
Does the placement in the pot itself make any difference? My inclination would be to place it closer to one edge, then that the edge that sits against the climbing wall. Also I guess a square pot would be good if going against the house so it sat more flush...
Thanks so much for the video, I am getting in alot of climbers this spring for my patio area, and am taking your recommendation, is there a general rule for how long they can live in a pot? Thank you.
Hi Jackie. Indefinitely - so long as the pot is large enough, you just have manage your watering and fertilizing appropriately. Watch for signs that the rose is outgrowing its pot, and even if it doesn't outgrow the pot, it may be a good idea to repot every 5 years or so, just to make sure the potting soil isn't degrading to the point that in inhibits proper drainage.
Not necessarily. In a larger pot, I often skip a year or two between repotting. I've even had some roses in very large pots for up to 5 years without changing soil. It's comes down to how long you can leave the plant between watering and how healthy it appears. If it's taking water a couple of times per week and the rose is growing well, I'd leave it.
Very informative and i'm watching your videos all the time.. I want to know about this soil mix because i always trying to plant roses in pots and garden but it 's unsuccessful.. can you give me informations regarding this soil mixture..Thank you..
I'd suggest you look on the sites of rose societies in warmer climates - I just lack the experience to say which are suitable climbers for tropical locations.
Do you think planing a bareroot climber directly into a 22 inch pot is okay? I’m not really wanting to repot to a bigger size. I’d rather just plant it once and be done
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm i figured. it’ll be it’s temporary home for 2-4 years so it’ll probably reach its maturity by the time it needs reported. Thanks!
Oh my goodness Jason, I bought my very first climber, 'John Davis' last year and was heartbroken when the rabbits ate it down to the nubbin. Luckily it has made a comeback, growing very well but alas no blooms as yet : ( Do you think you could do a video on how to prune down to healthy stalks for a climber, unless you already have one?
Hi Olivia. It depends on your climate and the hardiness of the rose. For the 'John Davis' I planted, it's plenty hard to stay in place. For something more marginal, you may consider protecting in place (wrapping canes with dry leaves and burlap for instance) or trimming them a bit to move inside
I wish I could be more specific, but potting mixes are a regional thing. Here, I use mainly composted fir bark-based mixes, but if you could find something like ProMix, I've done well with that too.
Hi Jason! I can never seem to get an answer to this… How do you overwinter a rose that is grown in a container? I live in zone 6A but I using choose roses for zone 5. Thanks
If they're zone hardy enough (and a 1 zone buffer is iffy - I'd say 2 zones is safer) you can keep the pots outdoors and tuck them in a sheltered location (someplace where they won't suffer too much from the cold wind. If they're more borderline, I put them inside an unheated space. My downstairs garage is a good example. It stays cool but not freezing, keeping the roses in a semi-dormant state.
Hi Derek - good to hear from you. In this size of pot, you can probably go two or three years before you'll see the rose struggle to stay watered/fed because the roots have filled the pot. I've held roses in much larger containers for 5-10 years (so far) with no need to repot.
Hi Jason, I just bought a bunch of floribundas and hybrid tea rose plants. What size of pots are suitable for these roses? Would you recommend planting them in grow bags? If so, what would be the right size?
Hi Andrew - a larger hybrid tea would be comfortable in the same size range as shown in this video (15gallon, 18" diameter) and even a compact floribunda might take a 10 gallon. I generally start young roses in a 5 or 7 gallon, and then up-pot as needed. Grow bags are a good option if you're moving, and just need to temporarily hold a larger roses until you can get it in the ground. What I've found (and others reminded me in the comments) is that the bags dry out a bit quickly, upping your irrigation frequency.
Hi! Thank you so much for this helpful video. Do rose bushes grown in ceramic pots do well through the winter? I’m in zone 6 and just bought a beautiful David Austin rose bush. I rent, so I’m debating planting it into a pot instead of into the ground so I can take it with me when I eventually move, but I worry it won’t do well through the winter. I don’t have a great place to overwinter it, so it would need to stay outside in the garden. Do you have any advice? Thank you in advance for your help!
Keeping them in a pot leaves them a little more susceptible to winter damage because the entire root system can freeze solid even in a fairly large pot. Quite a few of the Austins are zone 5, but that's not much of a margin of safety if you can't tuck the pot into a sheltered area over the winter.
Is it even possible to grow a climbing rose in a container in zone 5a? I'm thinking more about how to winterize it (if that's even possible)? Thank you!!!
Hi, i live in Malaysia and have growing New Dawn in my garden, i fertilize the plant every 2 weeks. i wonder why it is not blooming. Kindly please advise.
I'm afraid I can't say too much specific - first thing is to make sure the rose is well established and growing well in your conditions. 'New Dawn' blooms on older more established wood, so prune sparingly.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm im from japan and gardeners tell me i should add gravel/pebble stone below before i add the soil.. why is that? i’m so confused. I bought some premium climbing roses so I don’t want to make a mistake
The reason I've often heard to add gravel to the bottom of a pot is to improve drainage - when in fact it does the opposite, leading to a perched water table and wetter soil.
Depending on how hardy the rose is rated for (USDA zones) you can overwinter in place, or move the rose into a more sheltered location (like an unheated garage or outbuilding)
Hi,😊 I enjoy watching your videos... very useful information I have question please can I move a climbing rose from the ground to a pot now? I live in London, I planted it last year in a shady spot and not growing very well or I have to wait till Autumn🌹🌹🌹🌹
You're not wrong. They're definitely more vulnerable than in the ground - but it depends a lot on the hardiness of the rose, and the way you shelter the containers.

Thanks for the kind offer. I do have 'Seven Sisters' in my collection already, but I really appreciate the sentiment!
Thank you! Very helpful video :) alex from the UK
Just bought one from Costco, hope it grows
Thank you for this tips. Im gonna grow a few climbers on the planters just because digging or make a flower bed are too much work for me😬
I'm in USDA Zone 5. Will the rose overwinter outside in the pot, or do I need to move it into shelter every winter?
'John Davis' would be fine in place, but for others you'd have to check the hardiness zone.
Where can I purchase John Davis climbing rose bush?

Can i plant succulents or other plants around the base of the plant or will that interfere with the roots
Succulents are fairly shallow rooted, so it could work out just fine.

I’ve really been enjoying your channel and learning a lot. 🌹Why do some rose companies say not to use granular fertilizer in pots and others use it quite successfully? This has been a point of confusion for me. One company has a year guarantee on their roses UNLESS you use granular fertilizer, which voids that warranty. Clearly, your plants are flourishing. Can you please clarify this for me, Jason? Thank you in advance.
Thanks Paula. It's a tough issue for rose growers to recommend the addition of fertilizer to their customers. 1) You're far more likely to kill the plant by over-fertilizing the young roots than you are to harm them by nutrient deficiency, and at least deficiency is easily corrected once it's observed. 2) the vendor doesn't want to pay for mistakes in fertilizer rates. As specific as they could be in instructions, it's not hard to imagine some customer thinking "more is better" or just estimates a handful would be okay because they can't figure out a conversion on the fertilizer bag. So, safer all around for the vendor to say "no fertilizer until it's established". I have no problem with this approach, but a low to mid rate of controlled release fertilizer in the pot can be helpful to even out the fertilizer supply. I'll likely be adding supplemental fertilizer anyway, but the base rate in the pot will cut down on the needs a bit. I do so at my own risk because I'm pretty comfortable & experienced in its use. In the ground I add almost nothing (maybe a little bone meal, but only if somehow the bag is already sitting nearby!) and just feed from the surface of the soil.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm This makes a lot of sense. Thank you for such a speedy reply! 😊🌹
I just received a Julia Child rose for Mother's day that I have in a whiskey barrel-type pot. 1- I mixed vermiculite with my potting soil. Do I need to repot it using perlite instead? And 2- what is the best inexpensive trellis to put inside the pot since I don't have anything that it can climb up like you have on your patio. Thanks!
Hi Jason! Good information in video about pot size but how long can we keep roses in pots? Is it a good solution for long term, and what do we need to do yearly to maintain the roses in pots. Some of my strawberry planters had vine weevil grubs in them. Will roses be safe in pots?
For the most part, yes. There's not particular insect pest for rose roots. If you go a little "oversize" on the pots, you can get away for quite a while without repotting. Even in the minimum size described, I'd expect you can manage it for 2 to 3 years. I have roses in much larger pots that are going on 10 years now.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm that is very assuring. Thank you Jason
Jason, I am considering ceramics pots that are taller than what you used; 16.5” wide x 21.2” high. The climbing roses are Don Juan, Polka and GoldenShowers. Will 21.2” be deep enough for their root systems? Thank you! I am in Zone 10b.
Hi Jason, what do you think about growing roses in bottomless pot? Would it make easier (and safer) for the rose to be moved in a different spot if needed? There will be roots damages but maybe less than having to take it out from the ground. Not to mention less work to be done for the gardener!
Yes. I do this for several larger roses and they've done quite well.
Can I plant Rosa Eden in a pot and how large should it be ...? Thanks
Thanks for your valuable information
Thanks for sharing
Hi, I have a question about 3 climbing roses I purchased 2 years ago…the first year (2 springs ago) they did not provide any blooms, only foliage, this year they were covered in blooms; I cut all the roses and ended up giving a pretty good pruning to them in doing so but even prior to cutting I noticed the newest foliage, not the initial spring foliage covered in buds, was vigorous and quickly getting very long but no buds. It has now been over a month maybe 2 months since I cut the roses and still no new buds on any of the plants. Each rose had a new shoot that was extremely long, about 6 ft that I cut way back bc it had nothing on it. Is this normal?? Thanks so much!
Lauren
Hi Lauren. It would be interesting to know the variety name - roses vary quite a lot in their growth and flowering behavior bases on genetics.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm they are a white eden climber, iceberg climber, and another eden climber (pink)
Thank you for this video! Can you advise me on the care of a potted rose 2-3 years later? Do you replace all potting soil every year? I think the container is not draining as well as it did. Could I be watering it too much? Should I take rose out of pot altogether and start over with the soil? If so, can I do that at this time of year?
Hi Eileen. Yes, you can repot at this time of year as needed. If the pot size is large enough and the soil free draining, you can probably get away with repotting every 2-3 years (I have some roses in much larger pots that are going on to 10 years now).
Great video , when would you start tying it in ,? And when would you start pruning it many thanks Eddie
Hold off heavy pruning until you see strong growth - it might be a year or more of establishment. I only tied up one cane this season before I pulled the pot in for winter, but I expect that the rose will do more this spring/summer.
What are your overwintering recommendations? Especially regarding zone 3. TIA
Bring them in to a minimally heated space is the best option if you can work it out. Roses don't need to be kept from cold entirely, but deep cold and esp. with wind can kill the canes and/or crown.
Just the video I wanted! Now I need to research discreet structures. The big pots are hard to move. Can they stay put all winter in Zone 5b/6a?
Thanks Carol. It depends on the rose. Some, like John Davis, are super hardy and could overwinter in place.
Any thoughts on growing an Eden rose in a very large pot in zone eight?
I like the sound of "very large"
Hello from Sweden. I have a question about fertilizing .. I bought a Ghislaine de feligonde. I have planted it in a large pot, and it is 60cm high and a lot of buds. Should I give it fertilizer….
Hi Annicka. Sounds like it's still small and just establishing, but with all those buds it's doing quite well. I'd let it flower and then deadhead and fertilize afterwards.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you.
How big of a pot would you recommend for a new dawn, if any at all? Thank you thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!
I'd look for something 20 to 24" in diameter - big guy!
Hello! Thank you so much for this and all your other videos. Keep up the great work! So eloquent and thorough! Quick question. Last year when I planted my rose garden, I didn't plant the roses deep enough to cover the bud union. Do you recommend covering up the bud union with ground soil this spring? It will be a year since I planted the roses. Please and thank you!
Some people plant deeper, but I like to have the soil just *at* the bud union, so I can keep an eye on its condition. It can also depend on your climate - as many in cooler climates will recommend the bud union be well beneath the ground. Yes, I'd say bring the level of the soil up to just cover the bud union if it doesn't make for an awkward mound. Otherwise you could consider replanting.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Got it, thank you!

Thanks. I'll put it on the list
Thank you very much for your informative video. I've ordered two New Dawn climbing rose plants. Would you recommend New Dawn planted in a large container?
Depends how large the container - New Dawn is pretty vigorous. 20" across the rim at a minimum I'd say, and larger if you can manage it.
I bought one of those fabric pots , at the beginning I thought it was great but soon I realized it doesn't keep the moisture enough time to next watering, I also used a mix soil with perlite, humus and coconut fiber .
Thanks for the feedback on the product Albert. I haven't used them much except as an inner "lining" to an ornamental pot, which seems to solve some of the moisture problems.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm They are great for growing out of zone peppers who need dry.

What is the best time of year to plant a climbing rose in a container please ? We live in zone 7/8.
I usually like to start them off in early spring, but fall planting can be okay too so long as you're mindful of protection over the first winter.
I am learning g a lot with your videos. Questions my roses are constantly blooming but I notice the flowers are smaller and and the leaves too...what should I do...Houston here..
I usually find the size of bloom problem later in the summer, when there's not as much soil moisture. If your situation is similar, an increase in the watering schedule might help.
Hello, is there a particular reason why you didn’t just plant the rose in the big pot instead of the black pot? I am new to growing roses and don’t have much sun other than on my patio which will require them to be in pots. Your videos have been very informative. Thank you.
Thanks - a few reasons I can think of: 1) the outer container catches the sun so the soil in the inner container stays a bit cooler 2) you could switch out your inner containers easily to change the look of the area 3) if you want to bring the rose in to a sheltered location over winter, the inner container is a bit smaller and easier to move. This particularly applies if the outer container is ceramic or clay and quite heavy to move.
Great info. The Outside Container has holes for Draining ? 😊 🙏
Thank Carol - yes, it has holes to drain
Hi, if a new climbing rose is planted in a raised bed, how much water would you suggest and how often ?
It's pretty hard to suggest a quantity and timing - everything depends on your climate, the soil, the plant, the position. Its a little like asking how often you should fill the gas tank of your car: it depends on the vehicle, terrain, and distance, but most people just fill the tank when they see it's getting empty. Likewise for plants, you'd need to tune in to the moisture level of your soil and any signs of wilt or stress on the plants.
I use a 22 inch white resin pot with pot feet.
How often do you need to change the potting mix in the pot? I have some on a deck out all year and I wonder if the potting mix breaks down after awhile? Thank you!
On average I'd say every 3-4 years if you have a large enough pot.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you!
How about in Zone 5 where winter can dip down to 10 degrees F? My concern is the roots can freeze inside the pot in freezing temps. They don't have the insulating protection if planted in the ground. What are your thoughts?
Most often I move my potted roses into an unheated garage when they go dormant. It's cold in there, but rarely below freezing.
I live in Zone 5 (Northern Chicago). Would I cut the rose down in the winter and bring the container into the garage? Or leave outside? Many thanks!
If you can manage to get it into the garage, that'd be my choice.
Hi Jason. Thanks for the video. I am in zone 4b. I just bought the Rosa- rambling red rose. My deck gets a ton of sun through the day, and I’m hoping to pot it. What pot size would you recommend for a rambling rose? Thanks
You can probably start out with something in the 16 to 20 inch diameter range - the rose will likely demand more soil volume (to supply enough moisture) eventually, but it's a good start.
Will roses tolerate semi-hydro? I have never heard anyone comment on this topic I wonder if you’ve ever experimented with it. Thank you for your hard work! I really appreciate your postings. 😎

Thank you for this!! Can you recommend on how to prune it in the container? I normally prune container shrub roses in the fall and apply dormant and wilt stop to overwinter outside (with burlap wall). Wondering what you would recommend for a container climber overwintering outside. I’m in zone 7a
Personally, I minimize pruning in the fall except just a light cleanup of dead, diseased or damaged stems and to nip off spent flowers. Dormant oil/lime sulfur is a good step, especially if you can defoliate first. Burlap is good. I mean, basically you already have a pretty good routine, and the only thing I might do differently is just leave the major pruning for spring (when you can also address any winter damage in the same step).
Hi, Jason, thanks for sharing! Can I put the fabric back inside a plastic pot to keep the temperature warmer for winter and cooler in summer? I plan to plant a bigger climber rose.
Yes. Double potting is a great way to insulate the inner pot somewhat.
Hi Jason. I lost my potted rose after adding slow release nitrogen. I think that my pot was too small.
I have planted a Joseph's Coat rose at a grave site for my son Joseph. There is no place for it to climb. Do I need to put a trellis in or can become a bush or may grow lateral across the grave it self? Any advise.
I love the color of that rose. I haven't tried it with Joseph, but many climbers can either be trained laterally or as a shrub. In my climate, this is a bit of a difficult rose to keep healthy. I hope it comes out well for you.
I need to know how to maintain during the winter?
If you choose a hardy enough rose, you can overwinter in place with no additional protection. The 'John Davis' rose I featured in the video is like zone 2, so pretty bulletproof. If the rose is borderline to your hardiness zone, you can wrap in place with dried leaves and burlap, or you can trim it back and move the container to amore sheltered location.
Morning what do I do with my roses planter in winter zone5 are winters are very cold?
Hi Lucy. It depends on how hardy the rose is. The 'John Davis' I selected would be fine to overwinter in place. If the variety is more marginal in your area, you could bring the whole pot in for the winter - to an unheated structure like the garage or an outbuilding.
I have just brought home a large Eden climbing rose plant for my balcony in Paris. The nursing container is already 26x26 cm. Should I repot directly or let it acclimate to my balcony first? I only get 1-1.5 hours of direct sunlight but otherwise it is very bright. The guy at the nursery said it would be be great for them. He tied the roses up for their journey home. I am wondering if I should untie it? Some of the roses are heavy and drooping down to where their stems are almost snapping. Is this a sign to begin training it? I don’t know how much longer we will live here so my fear is having to leave her behind if I move and she is trained to the building but she is already very tall and seems to need support. Thank you for your expertise and tips if you have any for me!
I see no harm in repotting right away. The location sounds like it won't be too stressful a transition.
How do you handle cold winters for climbers in containers? Zone 7a. It’s not like you can move them indoors.
Depends on the container actually, because some I do manage to wedge inside if there's a particularly cold stretch coming. If you do need to keep them out, make sure you're selecting varieties that are hardy to zone 6 or even 5, as a safety margin. You can wrap the bases of the plants in burlap to cut wind, or even pack some dried leaves in there. Shelter as best you can from biting wind and make sure they're not sitting under the roof line and getting staying soaked over winter.
What is the hardiness zone for southern Vancouver Island? Also, we cannot have water dripping from our balcony to other balconies below. How can I control this?
Lucky you - Victoria can be a 9b! I'm not sure I can help with dripping water though.
We have a small 3 foot kousa dogwood to plant in memory of a loved one. Because they grow quite tall, is it a bad idea to sink it in a large pot in the ground? Thinking of the roots spreading. Thanks
I've actually done Kousa dogwood trees in large pots, but they struggled with getting enough moisture in the summer. I probably could have watered more frequently, but they seem to be doing a lot better now that I have them in the ground.
Hi, your videos are amazing and have been very helpful. I am a novice at gardening rose plants and currently in USDA zone 9B. I have an iceberg white rose plant that I got three weeks back.

Can you please suggest what can I do.
Hi Jo. It might be a bit of stress to do with changing growing conditions. Just take it slow and let it settle in
Can I grow Arabian jasmine with my New dawn climbing rose? I've googled it and can't find anything definite I thought Jason would know. I'm zone 7b north Alabama mountains.
Arabian Jasmine appears to be zone 9 hardy - so a bit tender to overwinter unless you bring it in for protection.
Does the placement in the pot itself make any difference? My inclination would be to place it closer to one edge, then that the edge that sits against the climbing wall. Also I guess a square pot would be good if going against the house so it sat more flush...
Thanks Patrick. Yes, I sometimes "cheat" towards the support as well.
Thanks so much for the video, I am getting in alot of climbers this spring for my patio area, and am taking your recommendation, is there a general rule for how long they can live in a pot? Thank you.
Hi Jackie. Indefinitely - so long as the pot is large enough, you just have manage your watering and fertilizing appropriately. Watch for signs that the rose is outgrowing its pot, and even if it doesn't outgrow the pot, it may be a good idea to repot every 5 years or so, just to make sure the potting soil isn't degrading to the point that in inhibits proper drainage.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you so much!!
Do you need to change soil in the container each year?
Not necessarily. In a larger pot, I often skip a year or two between repotting. I've even had some roses in very large pots for up to 5 years without changing soil. It's comes down to how long you can leave the plant between watering and how healthy it appears. If it's taking water a couple of times per week and the rose is growing well, I'd leave it.
Very informative and i'm watching your videos all the time.. I want to know about this soil mix because i always trying to plant roses in pots and garden but it 's unsuccessful.. can you give me informations regarding this soil mixture..Thank you..

im living in a tropical country, may you please recommend a variety suited for us? please
I'd suggest you look on the sites of rose societies in warmer climates - I just lack the experience to say which are suitable climbers for tropical locations.
Do you think planing a bareroot climber directly into a 22 inch pot is okay? I’m not really wanting to repot to a bigger size. I’d rather just plant it once and be done
It's not a bad size for a small to medium climber, but if you're looking for something 10+ft tall, that'll pull moisture out of the pot even faster.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm i figured. it’ll be it’s temporary home for 2-4 years so it’ll probably reach its maturity by the time it needs reported. Thanks!

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks so much Jason :)
what do you do to winterize these? do you move the containers even thought it’s being trained?
Hi Olivia. It depends on your climate and the hardiness of the rose. For the 'John Davis' I planted, it's plenty hard to stay in place. For something more marginal, you may consider protecting in place (wrapping canes with dry leaves and burlap for instance) or trimming them a bit to move inside
Will a rose get too hot in a clay pot ? Or is it better to use double plastic ?
I like the double walls if summer heat will be a concern.
Please suggest me the potting mix in detail for climbing rose 🙏
I wish I could be more specific, but potting mixes are a regional thing. Here, I use mainly composted fir bark-based mixes, but if you could find something like ProMix, I've done well with that too.

Hi Jason! I can never seem to get an answer to this… How do you overwinter a rose that is grown in a container? I live in zone 6A but I using choose roses for zone 5. Thanks
If they're zone hardy enough (and a 1 zone buffer is iffy - I'd say 2 zones is safer) you can keep the pots outdoors and tuck them in a sheltered location (someplace where they won't suffer too much from the cold wind. If they're more borderline, I put them inside an unheated space. My downstairs garage is a good example. It stays cool but not freezing, keeping the roses in a semi-dormant state.
How does this affect them in the long run? Will they get root bound quickly and need to be re-potted frequently?
Hi Derek - good to hear from you. In this size of pot, you can probably go two or three years before you'll see the rose struggle to stay watered/fed because the roots have filled the pot. I've held roses in much larger containers for 5-10 years (so far) with no need to repot.
Hi Jason, I just bought a bunch of floribundas and hybrid tea rose plants. What size of pots are suitable for these roses? Would you recommend planting them in grow bags? If so, what would be the right size?
Hi Andrew - a larger hybrid tea would be comfortable in the same size range as shown in this video (15gallon, 18" diameter) and even a compact floribunda might take a 10 gallon. I generally start young roses in a 5 or 7 gallon, and then up-pot as needed. Grow bags are a good option if you're moving, and just need to temporarily hold a larger roses until you can get it in the ground. What I've found (and others reminded me in the comments) is that the bags dry out a bit quickly, upping your irrigation frequency.
Hi! Thank you so much for this helpful video. Do rose bushes grown in ceramic pots do well through the winter? I’m in zone 6 and just bought a beautiful David Austin rose bush. I rent, so I’m debating planting it into a pot instead of into the ground so I can take it with me when I eventually move, but I worry it won’t do well through the winter. I don’t have a great place to overwinter it, so it would need to stay outside in the garden. Do you have any advice? Thank you in advance for your help!
Keeping them in a pot leaves them a little more susceptible to winter damage because the entire root system can freeze solid even in a fairly large pot. Quite a few of the Austins are zone 5, but that's not much of a margin of safety if you can't tuck the pot into a sheltered area over the winter.
Do you have a window well? Those are good places for sheltering plants. I've heard wrapping the pot in burlap can help.
Is it even possible to grow a climbing rose in a container in zone 5a? I'm thinking more about how to winterize it (if that's even possible)? Thank you!!!

Hi, i live in Malaysia and have growing New Dawn in my garden, i fertilize the plant every 2 weeks. i wonder why it is not blooming. Kindly please advise.
I'm afraid I can't say too much specific - first thing is to make sure the rose is well established and growing well in your conditions. 'New Dawn' blooms on older more established wood, so prune sparingly.
will they still live for a very long time, or do they end up just dying after 3-5 years?
They can live a long time so long as you manage their growth and upgrade the pot size every few years.

No
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm im from japan and gardeners tell me i should add gravel/pebble stone below before i add the soil.. why is that? i’m so confused. I bought some premium climbing roses so I don’t want to make a mistake
The reason I've often heard to add gravel to the bottom of a pot is to improve drainage - when in fact it does the opposite, leading to a perched water table and wetter soil.
Great content as usual. What if I grew them in Bottomless containers like how Bunny Guinness does on her channel.

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm when it grows how climbing roses luks like some of the roses stems r falling from d pots.
I was under the impression that roses in containers would be detremental to the roots over the extreme winter weather...am I wrong?
You're not wrong. They're definitely more vulnerable than in the ground - but it depends a lot on the hardiness of the rose, and the way you shelter the containers.
