Good stuff Lee, proof that there are still a few things we can do in the garden over winter!
We certainly can mate and planning for next years a big one. So much easier to plant bare roots now and then pretty much forget about them save making sure they don’t dry out. Then next summer. Bang! Loads of flowering Roses!!
Your soil is just like mine here in Southern Ontario, Canada. So much compacted wet clay. I would amend it every spring with compost, and over the winter it would become compacted all over, and the cycle would begin again the following year. Your videos are very informative, thanks Lee, and Barry is adorable! Jay
You’re welcome. Roses don’t actually mind a bit of clay as it’s super high in nutrients which they love. Always best to dig it compost though to help add some drainage. I’m off to Canada for the first time in January. Can’t wait! Happy Gardening.
@@Gardenninja What part(s) of Canada are you visiting Lee?
Off to Vancouver and then snowboarding in Whistler. All tourist stuff really but can’t wait!!
Always look forward to your videos mate... Thank you. Dave in Liverpool
Cheers Dave. Glad you are enjoying them. 🙂 Happy Gardening Mate!
Getting ready to plant my David Austin Road Dahl rose!!!! So excited!! Shipment was slowed due to pandemic and I thought it would never come! Gloria Gloria!
The guide says to plant with the graft union 2" below the soil line. I'm glad you gave me permission not to, because that freaks me out. I'm going to plant it your way and see what happens!
Hey Busara. Some people swear by burying the graft. Others like me never had. You may find over years that a unusual rose stem breaks out from beneath the graft. If that happens then cut that right off as that’s not the true rose. Lovely to hear you’re planting bare root roses. 🌹 Happy gardening! Lee 🥷🌿🌱
I just got some bare root roses today and it’s going to be snowing on Sunday / Monday with temp of -5. Is this the right temp to plant them or will it damage the plants?
Hi Deepanshu. I’d wait until the weather improves slightly if possible place the roots in a bucket of water in an dark shed or garage for a few days. You can wait up to a week before planting in my experience. If the weathers not going to improve you just take your chances. Should be ok but all depends on the amount of frost. Usually soil beneath the frozen top layer is still quite warm in comparison to plant in. Hope that helps! Lee 🥷🤘🌿
I live in northern Ohio and we often get snow in the Spring randomly until May. Is it still safe to plant a bare root in March or April?
Hi Scott. Bare roots in the UK are usually planted in early spring when the ground warms up slightly. If you can still buy bare root in May that maybe better. However they don’t store well once lifted. They need to be put in the ground ASAP once you receive them. You could always plant in a containers somewhere protected then plant out after the chance of frost has passed. Hope that helps. Happy gardening! Lee
