Thank you for your advice on planting roses, I feel more confident now to order my roses, I was worried and concerned as to what kind of hole to make- your video answered all my concerns! 🌹🌸🏵🌸👍🌹
Thanks. I have two miniature roses, in planters. I live in the northeast, and think I should put them into the ground for winter. And being mid August, I will do it soon.

Many thanks Jason, that answers my question about my rose cuttings that I’m planning to plant out next spring. I also have a lot of fuchsia cuttings that I started at the beginning of June. Should I take the same approach do you think; ie. overwinter in a sheltered spot in their containers then plant out in the spring using your small hole approach! Thanks again for all you advice, it’s so helpful!
Let me know how it goes for you! My (imperfect) analogy to cooking: if you underseason, you can always add more later... if you overseason, it's a lot more difficult to fix. I definitely topdress my roses generously after I see signs that they're well established - but until then, I grown them lean, and make them work to establish their roots.
When I transferred my mother's roses (rugosas) to my yard I thought I had to amend the hole, the big, expensive hole, and I almost lost them, and rugosas are a very hardy rose. It took 2 years for them to recover from inadequate information and the lack of a soil test.
I’m always curious and amazed at what plant roots do. I take every opportunity to dig up and see what went wrong or what went right. I imagine that you have loafs of experience with these types of observations.
The final judgement call on whether your own soil is decent for gardening (or in dire need of improvement) is am individual one. If drainage is reasonable, that's a good start.
Hi Paul. It started as a way to protect the roses from the lawnmower, string trimmer, and even the lawn itself (encroaching). There have been a few added advantages over time: it creates a good spot for adding mulch & fertilizer. It has helped protect the roses in winter, and it's also a good spot to mount the name tags & signage. Downside: they're not the classiest way to present a rose. But this is our mother stock, so I'm emphasizing function over form right now.
The heavy weed cloth can be useful for nursery applications on the surface, but the light stuff that you would bury quickly becomes ineffective and eventually a nuisance. ruclips.net/video/r2YZwySc6Fo/видео.html
In the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California, where I live, we have dense red clay soil that becomes almost as hard as a rock when it bakes in the summer heat. I amend the clay soil by mixing in 50% organic matter such as compost primarily made from steer manure in with the dirt to break it up a bit before planting a rose bush. We don't have heavy snow. Little wind. Does that sound at all reasonable?
I have a question I now have a couple cuttings that have taken and winters coming here in CT. Should I keep them inside over the winter in grow lights till spring or just plant the little cuttings in the ground in the fall? I just want them to live as I don’t have many at all
Hi Cindy - happy to hear you've got roots. If you have decent indoor growing space, go for it. Otherwise, I personally would overwinter in a container (not in the ground), and tuck it into a sheltered location. An unheated garage or shed would be fine, otherwise, just up against the house or another structure to cut down on the exposure to cold wind. Best of luck.
This is the kind of education I was looking for as a beginner gardener. Love your channel.
lol, you kill me! You're the Rose God! Every time I watch one of your videos, I'm out buying roses, lol.
Yes! That is what all the soil scientists and even leading growers are saying based to research...thanks again!
Well explained again! Many thanks from the beautiful City of Osnabrück in Germany!!!
Wow, good to know. I think growing in pots will be the way to go for us. Our native soil is heavy clay and lots of broken basalt rock.

Great videos Jason. I recently started watching your channel for rose growing advice. I look forward to every video.
Thanks Henry. Now that I'm finishing my Summer propagation season, I may have some more time to get my ideas taped. I appreciate the encouragement!

Did you do this? How did it go?

Fuchsia can be a bit tender, so take extra care when choosing your "shelter" (depending also on severity of winter cold in your climate)
Thanks Jason, I’ll be careful, I lost quite a few on the way so I don’t want to lose any more 😂
Makes perfect sense but I'd still be tempted to go with bigger hole with expensive soil mix. Guess just have to try it both ways to see for myself

Hi Jason, thanks for this. My home was build on reddish, gravely fill... if I follow your directions for planting in this video, will my rose survive?

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you, Jason!
Hi can you please explain the use of tires when planting your open ground root stock

I know this is off subject in a way, but I was wondering your thought on using weed barriers

Fraser Valley Rose Farm ok thank you
Why mulch? If mulch, why not or why yes, mulch with alfalfa? Thank you.
Yup
