Heirloom Roses Unboxing and Planting in an Earth Box - Florida Garden in December

Do I complain about Florida weather all of July - September? Absolutely! But I like to think Florida makes it up to us by gifting us a wonderful "cooler" growing season. I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing my first purchase of roses made online with you, and will continue to share updates here and on my Instagram. Roses purchased from Heirloom Roses are a Joseph's Coat, Dark Desire, and a Portlandia. Planted in my Earth Box Root and Veggie container, soon to be added to my automatic watering system.

I am a lover of the Joseph's Coat climbing rose. Mr Lincoln is okay too but to me nothing is more stunning than the Joseph's Coat. I am sure since this vid is a year old they are a good size now. Nice vid Heirloom Rose's is indeed one of the best companies.

If you check out the garden tours from summer 22 you can see them! They got rehomed before a cross country move and shortly thereafter got taken out by a hurricane 😔 I can't wait to try new varieties in our new garden!!

What are the sizes of your heirloom roses' pots? What's the size of the pot you're planting them into? Thank you
