I’ve been procrastinating on transplanting a few roses in front of our main door because I don’t want to kill them. This video is so detailed and easy to follow. I it helps muster the courage to transplant soon.
We have ordered your roses - they are gorgeous - thank you for the hard work you all do there. I wish you could get more old antique roses from Europe - the demand for them is higher than you think. We have a small nursery here and we get constant requests for old roses because we have some growing here. They line out really fast and easily and are climbers. We are hunting for the old ones - some go back hundreds of years and just are relentless growers and fragrant. Who has them?? Even the older ramblers and shrubs have been patented and hybrid. It's a terrible loss - they carried more roses than the constant blooming ones.
I just placed an order of 6 one gallon roses from Heirloom Roses! I'm currently renting and I'm glad y'all did this video!! Now I can take them with me in the future when I move!
To minimize shock, recommend selecting and prepping destination *before* digging up the plant/rose. Doing this first will ensure you can actually use that destination (no rocks, poor soil drainage, etc.) and not make the plant stress while you solve any problems!
OMG this is soooo helpful! And also the replies to all the questions! ! I just planted one raspberry cream twirl around a young maple tree, yes that’s a very bad idea and I’ll probably have to move it later. Thank you for this awesome video!
I give my roses levingtons tomato liquid fertiliser & they grow so healthy & full of blooms.. planting in levingtons ( best old company ) rose tree shrub compost in big pots.. magnificent displays
Hello! Good question; unfortunately, we cannot ship to Canada; But whether a rose can grow in Ontario will depend on its hardiness zone. Some roses can grow in the hardiness zone as low as 2 (-50 to -40); Also, for more winter hardy roses, own-root roses are best. I hope this helps!
Thank you, this video was very helpful. I had to move to mature rose bushes here in so cal and it's still pretty darn hot right now. I have a question: how often should I apply the liquid fish fertilizer after the initial watering after transplanting?
Great helpful video. My question is do I follow same tips to transplant my newly grown baby rose plant from stem cutting in a small pot to frontyard? Its very small about 1 ft thin bush and today is 3rd October . Im in Maryland, hardy zone 7. Please help. Thank you
I would like to uproot my rose bushes and place them in large pots. I purchased Miracle Grow Garden Soil for Trees/Shrubs and would like to know if i can use this 100% in the pot or do i need to use a 50/50 mix of native soil and the Miracle grow together. Also, do i still need to use the manure and fish bone meal in my process when amending the soil to prepare for replanting. Thank you.
I would recommend mixing the Miracle Grow soil with your native soil as that brand contains an added granular fertilizer that can be very strong on the roots during transplanting, especially if it is not a grafted variety but grown on its own roots. Amending with natural materials such as bone meal and aged cow manure will boot the available nutrients in the soil, making them more readily available for the roots to absorb.
Good question! For hot weather, you will want to use it every 2 days for a week, and if it is normal, climate every 10 days, so one time before and then continue after transplanting your rose. I hope this helps!
Thank you for a good step by step for how to transplant a rose. Will this wok for a climbing rose and do the transplant in mid july here in northern california?
With transplanting a climber does the cutting down to the same height you described also apply? Would it be like I am starting all over planting a new potted climbing rose?
Not necessarily, you will want to preserve 5-6 ft. of height on 4-6 of the healthiest main canes. That way you will have canes to train up the new trellis or arbor as soon as it is transplanted.
I need to move some shrub roses that I planted last year, in August, back about a foot from where they are in the rose bed so they aren't competing with the boxwood as both mature in size. They haven't even been in the ground for a whole year yet. Should I still prune them back as far as suggested in this video? Thank you for any advise you have.
Yes, you will want to prune as suggested in the video so that the plant does not have a large amount of foliage it needs to support after transplanting since it may experience some shock from being moved.
My dad gave me a rose bush that bloomed very well for a few years, then it stopped blooming, and has powdery mildew. I cannot seem to find the right treatment. Also I want to move it from the south side of our house where it gets extremely hot and much sunshine. It’s about 40 years old. I think it’s a climber,?? There are six pink blooms on each flower. I will it to live.
You might want to try testing your soil to make sure it has the proper nutrient levels to keep your rose happy and healthy! Poor soil is the most common cause of roses loses their vigor over the years. Transplanting it with plenty of amendments to the soil may be just the key!
does the age of a rose bush matter in moving it? I've been thinking of moving a rose bush from my grandparents' house. From what my dad told me, it was my grandmother's and she's been gone for over 40 years. I barely remember her and I would like to try to bring the bush to my yard. its in a rough neighborhood and every time I go there to check the property I'm afraid it's gonna be vandalized and destroyed.
GabrielC38 I personally moved my husbands great grandmother's rose that had been planted over 20 years, I used a pack from our local garden center to help with shock, and it's done great this whole year. Hope you have a successful transplant 🌹😊
I have a rose in a pot and I want to put it into the ground. Today is Oct. 21, is it too late to put the rose in the soil and if it is okay to plant now, what do I need to do to protect it over the Winter months. I live 60 miles west of Chicago.
Good questions! We recommend planting at least 6 weeks before the first frost. Also, it is best to keep your potted roses inside a non-heated building like a garage or shed for colder areas. I hope this helps! 🌹
I transplanted my rose bush back in the fall and I have buds this year, although I chose my spot poorly (I was in a hurry to get it in the ground) when can I transfer it to a better spot? Next spring? This fall? After the first bloom? Should I wait longer?
Early spring after all freezing weather has passed is the best time to transplant as the rose is still dormant. Fall is tough because you risk not having the plant get established in time before freezing weather comes, leaving more opportunity for transplant shock and root die back.
Hello Emiliia, you are so welcome and thank you for watching the video. We offer aged cow manure on our website, I have added the link for your convenience. www.heirloomroses.com/merchandise/fertilizer/cow-manure.html.
It is possible, but your rose will have a better chance of success if you wait until spring. If you must move it during the growing season, check out this post on our website for instructions on how to safely transplant your rose. www.heirloomroses.com/info/care/how-to/transplanting-roses/
@@heirloomroses every time I click on the link, it brings up a search page with roses on it instead of the instructions for transplanting roses. Is there an updated link??
Can we transplant roses in the fall or should we wait for spring... I have special roses from my great grandmother's roses... They do spread and these roses would be from 100 year old roses... You know what I mean... They are a double pink with verigated leaves... They do not get enough sun where they are and have not bloomed even tho they are fed enough organic feeds... They have spread from 1 plant I have 5 but I wish to do it right to keep this rose line alive...
The best window of time to transplant a rose is early spring, while the rose is still dormant. You'll also want to make sure there is no more threat of frost or freezing weather.
@@heirloomroses thanks very much... I was thinking it might be best that way... I really don't want to loose these roses I'm not even sure if my mom has any left... I'm glad they spread I have a few now after starting with just one... They just never flowerd there not enough sun
@@wildedibles819 Try out our Founders Fish Fertilizer product come spring time! We have had tons of feedback that it can help promote maximum blooms. It will also help your plants establish strong growth after being relocated. www.heirloomroses.com/founders-fish-fertilizer.html
Can I order rose plants from your company from Toronto Canada? Is May the best time to order? I am afraid that plants will be damage from the long travel time. Thanks.
A 2' hole is a good start, you will just want to make sure there is plenty of room to cover the root ball and the canes about 1"-2" higher than the soil line was previously. This will promote strong root development and encourage branching.
This can be hard, especially if the root system is well-developed. Make sure the particular type of rose you have is able to be grown in containers successfully as many types do not thrive in containers. Check out our video titled "Growing Roses In Containers" on our channel!
Very helpful and informative video. One thing wasn’t clear to me though: can someone please explain what is meant by when he says: Amend with good organic compost mulch, such as peat moss or garden mulch (paraphrasing, so hopefully not misconstruing!) what is meant by “organic mulch” ? I didn’t think “garden mulch” could be used as a soil amender ??
There are a lot of options when it comes to organic mulch, you will just want to choose what works best for you. The purpose of mulching is to retain moisture, discourage weeds, and enrich your soil.

Hello Syed, you are so welcome! Thank you for watching. :)
Does this apply to climbing roses too?
Yes, however you will want to preserve 4-6 of the healthiest main canes to be tied to the new trellis or support in its new location!
Thank you for a good step by step for how to transplant a rose. Will this wok for a climbing rose and do the transplant in mid july here in northern california?
Do you recommend the slow release fertilizer to add on the soil ?
We do not recommend using any slow release fertilizers for the first year after planting (including transplanting) as it may burn the roots.

Can you transplant a rose from the ground to a container. I have a rose which I planted in the ground 2 years ago but I it would look better in a pot.
Certainly! Depending on the variety, I would recommend a pot that is 7 gal. or larger to give it plenty of root space.

Hi Joy! Unfortunately we do not ship to Canada. I am sorry for the inconvenience!
Hello,
How deep you have to plant transplant ?
A 2' hole is a good start, you will just want to make sure there is plenty of room to cover the root ball and the canes about 1"-2" higher than the soil line was previously. This will promote strong root development and encourage branching.
