Your Questions About Planting Roses In May

Laura asks…

new bagged rose bushes just purchased here in New Jersey – what is the best way to store them until planting?

I just purchased some nice “bagged” rose bushes at my local hardware store in N.J. What is the best way to store these rose bushes until the planting season arrives – aprox. early May here in New Jersey? And should I keep them moist in their plastic bags until planting in May? The roots looked like they are wraped with peat moss and wood chips.- no soil…. Thank you!

MrRoseGarden answers:

Keep them bagged and they should stay moist. Put them where it is cool like a basement. If they look a little dry, spray a little water into the bags and make sure the bags are closed tightly to keep in the moisture.

Daniel asks…

is it a bad idea to put soil that housed the pink rose bush this summer, and put the 5 or so gallons of soil?

into a new lily/tulip garden that I am begining to put together. I’m just worried that the rose plant may have emitted ‘noscious’ matterials that my bulbs won’t like and may kill even. This pink rose plant has a ‘history’,,,it killed a yellow rose bush that I put too close to it, earlier in the year. So, yeah,,it HAS been known to poisoin visitors and I just wonder if it’s maybe NOT a good idea to use that soil in my new garden spot for my lilies and tulips next year! What’s your ‘take’ on the matter? Appriciate your advise all you green thumbers!!

MrRoseGarden answers:

Killed a yellow rose and poison visitors time to kill it also but you must have if its soil is to be used elsewhere.
If the soil you are talking about was in a container don’t use.

But as had another plant nearby i think was in the ground there is a problem planting a rose in soil where another rose has been before they call it ROSE SICK SOIL..

But that only affects roses and if wanted to plant another rose in same spot then take a wheel barrow of soil from that spot and put another barrow load from someware else in the spot for the new rose.

The rose is meant to put out a growth retardant or maybe its just depleted the soil in that same spot
so new roses don’t thrive just affects roses only.

But i would put the soil elsewhere even though will not affect the bulbs why not give them fresh start
and give them some soil enriched with compost to give them best chance.

Helen asks…

can I plant mini roses plants that i received in a funeral arrangement?

I have a mini rose plant from a Feb funeral. I have been keeping them in soil and watering them. Am I able to plant them in May?
I live in Upstate NY

MrRoseGarden answers:

Should be able to, but where do you live, For MI May is when you want to plant but Upper MI June is the earliest because it’s so far north. MD started planting a few weeks ago.

Sharon asks…

I have 2 climbing rose bushes that were planted in May and have not bloomed. Growing well, in sun. Houston?

I have given them rose food, plenty of water, cut off dead branches. One is a climbing blaze, the other is a climbing pink.

MrRoseGarden answers:

A Yahoo search for “climbing rose bush” (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 2,840 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I’m sure that you will quickly find the information you seek.

Good luck with your search.

Richard asks…

help someone just sent me roses that need to be planted is it too late to plant?

Help i live in louisville ky it is 40-50 degrees here is it too cold to plant roses i have always planted late april -may what do i do too save them

MrRoseGarden answers:

They’ll do better in the dirt than in pots inside. Scarify the roots when you plant and give them a good drink of Root Stimulator (Fertilome makes an excellent product, direcions on container.) Your winters in KY aren’t too bad, if you were in the north I’d definitely keep them inside.

Good luck

Your Questions About Planting Roses In Containers

William asks…

Is it ok to plant roses in a container?

MrRoseGarden answers:

Planting roses in containers is a great way to make them a “portable” addition to your landscape. Choose an 18″ container with good drainage, use quality potting soil, fertilize and water as necessary. I have a rose tree that’s been potted for approximately 4 years.

James asks…

I live in Las Vegas, what is the best way to plant roses?

I have the roses in a one gallon container, but know little about the transplanting, watering and best rose food.

MrRoseGarden answers:

Las vegas~! Loved it when we were there so many years ago. Best way i ever seen anything grown out there was in very large pots! Keep them out of direct sunlight and water them in the morning, every morning !

Laura asks…

Can you take roses from the yard and plant them in containers?

I recently bought a house and in the back of the yard are a couple small older rose bushes that I would like to put into containers on the front of the house. Is this possiable? or am I stuck with them in the back?

MrRoseGarden answers:

You can move them, but if they are too large then they will not grow in the container. The roots need room to grow and also space to breath. Make sure the planters are large enough. Hope that helps you out!

Linda asks…

QUESTION FOR ROSE LOVERS; Can roses be planted in a container and transplanted in the fall?

I have a bare root rose that is being transplanted from another home to mine. The ground is too wet to plant and I’m afraid that if I wait it will damage the root. If I plant it in a large container will it be safe to replant in the fall?

MrRoseGarden answers:

Yes!

John asks…

Planting rose bush in a container…?

I know I need good soil, maybe fertilizer, etc. I am wondering about exactly WHAT to put in the bottom of the pot for drainage. I have a large rubber pot, made from old tires and it’s gonna be great for the bush, but what do I use for drainage? Can I use styraphome packing nuts? Strange question, but I have a lot of those. I also have a big limb that blew into our yard the other night with a storm. Should I break it apart and use the leaves, small limbs for drainage? Please answer if you know about roses. They are hybrid teas. Thanks.

MrRoseGarden answers:

I generally put gravel in the bottom of my pots, whatever the plant type and even if it’s got a drainage hole.
