Great advice! My experience with own-roots is exactly what Paul is saying - that spindly little own root looks like a full grown old rose in 4 years. I have one 4 year old climber that was one little cane when I got it. It's now 12-14 feet in either direction. They grow fast!
Thank you so much for the service you offer everyone. This video along a few others I have viewed so far are informative, educational, and entertaining. You are quite funny. Your method of teaching is fantastic. I forgot one.. Inspirational.. After viewing your videos I am going to take the plunge and try to grow roses.. Thankyou !!! Thankyou !!! Thankyou !!!
So glad to discover your videos about planting and caring for roses, just what I needed before receiving my own own root roses from David Austin, thank you for the tips!
Thank you :) You have inspired me to get into roses. I pruned my bushes, I already owned by watching your videos on pruning roses. I hoped I did all of it right based on instructions by your video, and OH MY GOSH...this year my roses are AMAZING. TONS of blooms and it looks SO healthy. So again THANK YOU.
Hi Paul, again, so happy I ran into your channel. I bought some 1 gallon David Austin own root roses and planted them on ground 6 months ago. They have not grown much at all. I watered them everyday and fish fertilized them a couple of times. The soil is amended with compost. Some have black spots and so I sprayed them with neem oil. I m in zone 8 where it constantly rains. I’ve been patiently waiting for them to grow but after watching this video I feel like my situation is an unusual and so wanted to reach out to get some insights.
I would have expected some growth by now. As it's winter now they are dormant. I would contact Austin so you are on the record and then expect a growth spurt in spring. If you don't check back with them.
@ thank you Paul. I did not get them from David Austin. They are from the “2x2 feet hole” people. If you can guess who I’m referring to 😀. I followed their instructions to the T. Had to hire folks to do all the digging( wish I knew about you sooner). Come spring I’ll know if all the labor, material and plants cost all are down the drain or if they actually survive. 🤞
You can certainly add water before or as you are planting. I've found because the mix I just put back in is loose and I'm not stamping it down the water gets through it just fine.
I put some freebie rose cuttings with small leaves in the ground at less than a foot apart coz I wanted a patch like you show. Deer got em a few times so they are still small and now I'm happy they are coz it looks like I'll have to move a few out of the mosh. I will keep those in a larger pot and give them some juice for a year :)
Hey Paul Zimmerman Roses Very informative video. I wish I had seen it before I planted my first own root rose seedlings in this huge 24x24in pot. They haven't grown that much and it's been about 8 weeks. Should I move them to smaller pots? I'm in Zone 7 in central NC.
You are taking the fear out of roses.Now could you do one on how to protect a inground rose from a unexpected into coming hard frost.I wraped the crown in newspaper,cover with black plastic bag(all I had on hand) and put sun heated water bottle to secure clinched bag and then covered bottom of the covering with mulched oak leaves. Hope it does ok for the next few days.Have the sunny yellow knock out,has beautiful little yellow buds,would hate to loose them...I an in zone 9/10 FLA .
You should be find planting it right now. Mulch around it and if you get a freeze in the next few months pile leaves over it while it's cold and then take them off when it warms up.
hi, I have really liked your videos. I wanted to ask for your help . I have been to ALDI shop and seen some rose bushes which looked dead and had wax on them, I have bought them as they were only for £1 . will they grow I have soaked them in water I am hoping that the will grow
Hi Paul! I’m growing an own root discontinued rose so I’m giving it its best shot and starting it in a gallon pot. How often should I water it in the pot? And how long do you think it will take until it’s ready to go in the ground? I definitely don’t want to plant it in the heat.
@@Paulzimmermanroses and I can’t say what month exactly because orders haven’t opened yet 🙈 but I’m betting April. I’m new to roses and wanting to be prepared. Your videos help me so much
@@Rena0Dawn Most likely they will ship in early spring. I assume it's a smaller pot and you want to put it in a one gallon pot to grow it to some size before you plant it in the ground? Assuming that's the case likely watering every other day will take care of it as long as the soil drains well. Roses don't like wet feet so don't be afraid to let the soil dry out a bit between watering.
what do i do if my bare root roses canes ( i peeled my self) a little of the canes stick skin on the top when i first got em. :,( i wasn't thinking.what do i do???
Hi Paul, I'm from Malaysia and it is a tropical weather ( hot, humid and rain for the whole year. I need your advice how can I plant a rose in this situation.
You will want a rose that is pretty disease resistant for that climate. I would ask around to see if there are any other rose growers in your area that might be able to give advice on what roses do well in that kind of climate.
You'll need to try and find roses that grow well in your area. Are there any local public gardens that grow roses. Trying finding out what grows well for them.
IN EVERY VIDEO PAUL SAYS HE LIVES IN HEAVY CLAY IN S.C. AND IT'S A MASSIVE CHORE TO DIG LARGE HOLES IN IT. Not sure if he is trying to appease the ladies watching these videos or what. He's built for digging. His arms are thicker than Popeye's, and clay is just a good workout, LOL!
I am planting five Lady Emma Hamiltons in pots tomorrow. Should I add some root stimulator to the water? I live in northern Indiana. It's July 3rd now, so when should I transplant the pots to the ground? Should I put some cypress mulch in the pot or leave it uncovered?
You can certainly add root stimulator to the water. It can only help. If you plant them in pots now I'd put them in the ground in early September so they have time to get established before winter. Mulch is always a good idea. Great choice of rose by the way!
@@Paulzimmermanroses I want you to know I grow hybrid tall bearded irises and Roses were in second place , since I have watched your videos they will soon be in first place LOL
Grafted isn't necessarily better. Grafted puts on more of a show in the short term, but own root is better suited to colder climates and for the long run. Generally speaking too you can avoid graft born diseases and completely avoid die back that results in the undesirable looking graft taking over.

Thank you for sharing your common sense approach to Roses. When I bought my first own root and read through the directions and saw the 2' x 2' hole!!!
You are more than welcome!
You are more than welcome and I'm glad you are enjoying them. Just remember that garden roses are just flowering shrubs and you'll do great!

Paul , thanks for your demo. excellent video presentation and very simple to understand.
So much good advice. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Answered all my questions! Can't wait to get my Ashdown roses!

I like your videos
Very informative, i would love to grow roses, but i didn't know anything, thanks to give the direction
It will help me a lot to grow my garden, thank you so much
Great. If you'd like more help I have a Facebook group where can ask all kinds of questions. facebook.com/groups/58500441971/
That's a good idea to do some winter protection tips. I'll work on one.
You can certainly add water before or as you are planting. I've found because the mix I just put back in is loose and I'm not stamping it down the water gets through it just fine.
Thanks so much I've learned a lot you explained greatly
Thank you!
Thank you. Great information.
Love your videos ! Subscribed ;)

Sounds good!
Never has for me but it's always good to check your ph every few years regardless.
Very helpful, can you tell me what are those white particles in the soil mix you are using?
I live in South Florida (Miami) can I grow roses in containers in Miami, FL where the weather is warm year round.
Perlite. Comes in most potting soils to help with drainage.

***** At this point I'd leave it where it is. It's putting out roots and disturbing it may do more harm than good.
Thanks for the tip. I like your approach to growing roses. Your videos have answered many of my questions. You've gained a fan!
***** Thanks!
You are taking the fear out of roses.Now could you do one on how to protect a inground rose from a unexpected into coming hard frost.I wraped the crown in newspaper,cover with black plastic bag(all I had on hand) and put sun heated water bottle to secure clinched bag and then covered bottom of the covering with mulched oak leaves.

Huh. I wouldn't have thought that Florida gets any serious frost given all it's citrus fruit production
Another awesome video! Thank you, Paul! can I plant a young own root in Oct- zone 7 richmond va? Or should I just overwinter in unheated space?
You should be find planting it right now. Mulch around it and if you get a freeze in the next few months pile leaves over it while it's cold and then take them off when it warms up.
@@Paulzimmermanroses Thank you, Paul!!

Paul, have you made any changes to your approach planting own root roses?
Not really.
Can you trim down to below where you peeled?

Hardwood mulch? Doesn't that effect the soil ph due to the high acidity?

@hlatino03 Absolutely. They should thrive there that way.
How can i get my cuttings grow, please help me....
I live in the country. You have to know about backhoes!
As I looked through the 20 22 catalog I noticed if not all most of the climbing roses are grafted why is that why are there only grafted climbers
Nurseries that offer own root roses have plenty of climbers on their own roots.
@@Paulzimmermanroses I want you to know I grow hybrid tall bearded irises and Roses were in second place , since I have watched your videos they will soon be in first place LOL
@@stevebrucken1944 happy to hear that!
Why do people buy bare root roses when grafted ones are better?
Grafted isn't necessarily better. Grafted puts on more of a show in the short term, but own root is better suited to colder climates and for the long run. Generally speaking too you can avoid graft born diseases and completely avoid die back that results in the undesirable looking graft taking over.
Where can l get bare root roses to buy from a garden center in the Hastings area
Roses are very hardy and you’re not going to kill them unless you don’t water them. Don’t drown them.
So true.
