If you're looking for a specific recommendation from Heirloom Roses, I'm partial to '4th of July' - Kevin
I can't count the number of roses I've had to treat for powdery mildew because of bad watering practices. Always water at the base like he said, don't ever let water sit on the leaves. If your sprinkler hits the leaves and you water in the evening or at night you're asking for a mildew infestation.
Same. The rain needs to learn better watering methods.
Depends on the varieties. A few years ago a new rose variety hit the market. It's called 'knockout' roses by the growers 'Star Roses and Plants'. A VERY disease resistant rose variety especially diseases common in the southern and southeast US like Powdery Mildew, Black Spot Disease, and Phytopthora Root Rot. I've had a variety in the ground at my home in North Carolina since they came out and these roses have survived 3 full years of hot humid and wet conditions and they've handled them with no issues whatsoever. It's incredible how clean the foliage looked. Even after our cold and wet winters here. It was so mild this winter that the roses didn't even drop their foliage and even after going through weeks on end of overcast and wet miserable rainy weather in the winter, come springtime the foliage still was spotless which really astounded me. I'm not getting paid to say these things im genuinely impressed at the disease resistance these roses are for my (and I assume your) climate. I think the way the growers were able to get such disease resistance is probably that they hybridized them with a native rose variety (like Rosa Virginiana or Rosa Carolina) which has that natural disease resistance from millions of years of evolution
‼️Something that wasn't pointed out in this video which I wish it was‼️ is DO NOT PUT GRANULAR FERTILIZER ON ROSES THAT ARE IN CONTAINERS. This is per Heirloom Roses themselves. They really stress this to their audience. It's very important to only liquid fertilize your container roses. The granular fertilizer will be way too hot for the rose roots in a container because there is nowhere else for it to drain away from, thus killing the roots.
2 years ago I decided I wanted a rose. I found a rose group on facebook and I asked for recommendations. I said i wanted a single-flowered rose in pale pink or white, something that could look a bit gangly and known for it vicious thorns, and something that makes great hips. I mentioned where I live and the type of weather I get. I got a great recommendation, found a rooted 6 inch twig online. It's now over 8 feet tall with some branches coming almost all the way back down to the ground. And this year it started blooming. And the bees and orb weavers love it. This may sound weird, but it's a trick my grandma swore by (and she had stunning roses in her garden), to get rid of either bacon greese or old frying oil, dig a hole about a foot down near the base of a rose bush and pour it down there. Once it sinks in, fill the hole back up and cover with a stepping stone to keep critters out. I don't know if it helps because I don't have other roses to compare it to, but it sure isn't hurting
I get ads for epic gardening while watching epic gardening!! Thats EPIC!! Im so stoked for all you have done for yourself and us!
_This sounds more like Google's various marketing algorithms that target people with ads based on all their personal data they're selling off to third party advertisers, people looking to manipulate your financial spending habits so they can profit off your choices_ (western capitalism views people as renewable commodities ... people are herded together based on common interests, grown steadily over time via. demographically targeted entertainment/adverts/social engineering tactics etc. ... and when a given crop looks ripe enough for financial exploitation ... those corporate entities profit the most. Monetized KZhead channels are just marketing pawns used to manipulate us and that's why websites like KZhead are willing, and able, to pay content creators more $ for larger sized "herds" = aka # of subscribers, views etc.) *If you aren't PAYING for a product online -- it's because you ARE the product*
Some of my roses are almost 35 years old. I learned about the 5 leave rule when I volunteered at Hershey Gardens in PA. 🌹
I would love to see a video on grafted plants - what plants are commonly grafted, how to handle them, etc. and WHY grafting is done
Great question. Grafting is a faster way to mass produce roses that require less grow time to get them to market. Since it is two "older" plants basically attached together, it will be fuller faster. But it won't last as long as far as lifespan. Heirloom Roses only creates own-root roses because we truly believe roses thrive better and are more disease resistant when on their own roots AND this is the way nature intended roses to be grown. The less human interference, the better. Hope that helps!
I got 7 roses from HR and they are absolutely taking off. They've only been in the ground maybe 2 or 3 weeks. One even has a bud already. Loving my roses!
Roses& alliums (esp. garlic!) love growing together as companions 🌹💗
Here’s something our rose growers have observed here in central Florida-the darker green the foliage is on a particular rose the better disease resistance the rose has. We have to grow them on fortuniana rootstock here because of heavy nematode presence in our soils unless they want to keep their roses in pots forever. A lot of local gardeners grow marigolds and turn them into the beds every season as well as adding crabmeal into their soil for the chitin in the shells to reduce nematode presence in the soil. I’ve also had growers use the three types of beneficial nematodes from Arbico Organics in their home gardens as well to try to get rid of them.
Thanks for the interesting tutorial on roses! You chose a very prolific climbing rose. We have two of them, and they grow like weeds! It feels like they grow back overnight every time we prune them. The birds love to hide in them as well. We had a couple of Scrub Jays build a nest because the rose bush was so thick. They didn't like it when I hacked it back after their babies grew up and flew the coop, LOL! I am growing my very first David Austin rose, "Eustacia Vye," and cannot wait until the flowers are in full bloom. It is supposed to be very fragrant.🌹
Roses are a great trap plant like nasturtiums. Aphids will go after them long before anything else in your garden. It is the reason wineries plant them at the ends of grape rows!
Yessss the video I've been waiting for! I had to say goodbye to a very old rose this week, which was heartbreaking, but I can't wait to grow more in the future.
The previous owner of my home planted a couple of rose plants in a tiny shaded corner. Literally the worst possible place on the property. It hasn't been pruned in years, was barely getting light or water, and definitely no fertilizer. Soon, I'm going to try and transplant them out into the sun and see if they take off with a little extra care 🤞🤞🤞
Sounds good! Kind of fond of Espoma's Rose Tone too. Contains Biotone Starter Fert.
Thanks so much for the awsome video, Kevin! Roses are pretty hard to kill for me. But these tips will definlty help them thrive!! ❤❤❤
Great pruning tips. Thank you for the great tips. Love your channel.
Love Heirloom Roses! 💗 I have Eden and Quick Silver and on their 1st year are giving me roses 🌹 . Love your video, always on point! Thank you!
I have purchased several roses from Heirloom. They are good roses but for the prices, TINY. If you are looking for David Austin's, I would specifically order from them since they send you, for a cheaper price, very well established 2 to 4 year old roses in bare root. Jackson Perkins also will send you older roses that are in pots for a cheaper price. I order from Heirloom if they are the only ones that carry that specific rose. Just like grafted fruit trees, they say in the winter cold days/nights, to mulch up the grafted area to help them from the cold. the rootstock lives because it's in the ground out of the cold, while the graft area is in the elements. Texas A&M teaches you to mulch up and cover the graft area to help the grafted plant alive. That's what we do with our grafted citrus plants along with our roses. When the cold is over, uncover the area so it doesn't rot.
I'm on my second home with roses already established in the yard. I've been blown away by how hardy and drought-tolerant these plants are while providing tons of colorful and lovely smelling flowers. I used to think roses were fussy plants, but now know that once they're established, roses (at least the ones I've encountered) are absolutely bulletproof. The biggest challenge I've had is keeping them under control. So nice to have fresh cut, sweet smelling flowers to bring inside and no work needed besides keeping them in check. Give 'em a few years of TLC and then stand back!
Kevin, A lot of great advice--thank you. 😊
I'm so thankful for this video. I can grow vegetables and fruit. Last year , we added knock-out rose's to our perimeter. We took planting instructions seriously but now what lol. I can say very happily they survived our winter and came back nice and green with a reddish color so they are healthy. Great timing for this video. You are much appreciated
I have a rugosa from Heirloom Roses that has taken over a problematic area in my garden…exactly what I wanted! I really don’t mess with it, it’s very self sufficient. And extra perk-it’s too spiny for even the deer to bother it! The scent is wonderful too. I also have a small Rosa glauca can hope it’s going to thrive.
Excellent video! Once roses grab hold of you, they don’t let go. They’re incredibly modern-yet-classic, and very rewarding. Nothing else like it. Thanks for another good video on roses. The ones in your garden are clearly thriving with your work. 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌹
I’m so happy about this video!!! Love the explanations and suggestions you always give us ❤
A great KZhead rose channel is Fraser valley rose farm. And congrats on giving a pep talk on older and rare roses. They are dying out fast, but as so with growing!
Have had lots of roses over the years. Love them
I put all my spent petals in my potted plants. They dry quickly and I crumble them up. Acts as both a water retaining mulch and decays into soil nicely. Never seen it suggested, but my plants love it.
I live in SoCal, some of my roses that I planted about 12 years ago are like 8 feet wide and tall! So it kinda depends on the rose and where you live. But sometimes they can get super huge! I absolutely love my roses. I don't have to do that much for them now that they are established. I find that once I get past the first couple years, after that they are quite drought tolerant to some degree because they have deep roots. 90% of my roses are own-root roses. I actually have La France in my yard! Very few of my roses are the typical Hybrid Teas actually,... In general I pick roses that are 1- heat tolerant, 2 - reblooming, 3 - fragrant, 4- have a bloom/petal pattern I like. I prefer complex blooms usually. I even get blooms in December sometimes. I dont even bother pruning them that much other than removing overgrown, crossing or damaged branches. I fertilize maybe a couple times of year with things like fish emulsion, etc... and that's really it! Huge return for very little effort. I feel like peoples' impression of roses is highly manicured hybrid teas of a particular type. But there are so many other kinds of habits and roses. you don't have to be limited to just a heavily pruned hybrid tea. I also plant reblooming irises among the roses. That should be what you add next! Irises! Descanso Gardens near Pasadena has some really beautiful displays of interplanted plants with roses like catmint, yarrow, borage, dusty miller, salvia, calendula, geranium, nasturtium, snap dragons, sweet peas, etc!
I love snap dragons and petunias with my roses.
Love this video! Will help me with my rose garden
I am planting my yard long beans today. I can't believe how prolific they were last year!
Thanks for this video. I ordered two roses from Heirloom Roses and should have them in about two weeks. So exciting. 🌹🤞 I'm going to use containers so I'm watching as many videos as I can.
Fantastic rose video! Thank you!! I love the metal arches!
I’ve bought from heirloom roses from the past. Gorgeous roses but pricy. They’re gorgeous and every year gives me bigger blooms. My favorites are the double delight and anything orange. TFS as always Kevin
That's a benefit of own-root roses! Bigger, stronger blooms and strong canes since they can focus on creating basal breaks to make the plant fuller and more shapely. You made a wise investment in your garden! Have you tried Louise Clements? She's a stunning orange color with beautiful shape.
@@robinheirloomroses3483 I’ll look for that one! Thx so much
Thank you, I am growing my 1st rose ever this year bare root!
45degree cut has become redundant, but if you have a older or sickly plant you want to reduce the risk pest or climate damage, after many rose prunes Cutting 45 and letting the face show the sun to dry out quicker has healed much success. Also looks neat if all pruning is done in the same direction. Great vid Kevin! We need roses and flowers in and around the veg garden to boost bee and insect diversity.❤
Oh Kevin, I've always grown roses since I bought my first home in 2014. I grow mines in a mix of compost and soil. Also I never spray on top but towards the soil. The only time I will do top is if I'm blasting spider mites or aphids.
Thank you for this video
Love this video. Can you do a similar video addressing how to prune citrus properly. Thank you. ❤❤❤
How I got my roses Co worker: hey my neighbor is getting rid of his roses, I don't have space for them, you want them? Me: (never gave 2 craps about flowers before) sure I'll give 'em a whirl. Mounds up compost in a heap, stuffs roses in, been 3 years they're doing great and now I have planted a bunch of other flowering things around my property.
Now that's a success story! Way to go!
rose petals tea only if you're not spraying the plant. We use the green rose for haku leis. I used to plant my roses by the street lights. I know it worked for me because when he had a blackout, parts of it were eaten.
Thank you for this. I won a beautiful rose at a Proven Winners seminar at my local nursery. Having failed at the discounted $5 bare root roses in the past I’ve been nervous about this new addition. I did make sure to dig the hole as deep and as wide as the soil surface it had in the pot. That happened to be my biggest mistake with the bare root roses. I apparently buried the graft. I know I didn’t do that this time. I did have to wait a month before I put it outside so the blooms it had became cut flowers for my house. I’m nervous I cut the rose hips and stunted it.
I love my Heirloom Roses “All Dressed Up”. I chose it because it is an own-root rose. Thanks for these tips, Eric! 🤣🤣🤣
I had a large rose garden in Washington state .. 50 plus plants … now I live in a small city plot .. just 14 but we get chili thrips in our buds bad … some more prone to them then others .. I will likely sacrifice two plants this year and replace with more thrip resistant roses … I am a Grammie and I love my roses ❤😂glenda
Captain Jack’s Dead Bug will keep thrips under control.
I have a rosa rugosa bush in zone 5 (Canada). They are very hardy to say the least. It is my trap crop for japanese beetles
The ad nauseam slanted-cut mantra is silly. I find it hard to belive that one (or even many) drops of rain could do damage to a rose bush. I've never really been into roses either, but this year I have four (and counting). 🤣😍
Thank you for the information
Cecile brunner will tolerate some shade very well. It’s a polyantha. The hybrid musks can do really well in part shade too. It’s your hybrid teas that really want all that sun.
Agreed, I have a dwarf polyantha called "The Fairy" and it blooms like crazy, even though it gets some shade under my hydrangea in the afternoons. Produces mounds of tiny pale pink roses that look incredibly delicate, but the rosebush itself is super hardy. Last year the entire bush got snapped off right at the base when a couple of rampaging squirrels decided to have a battle royale in my flower garden, but this spring it appeared again with beautiful healthy shoots like nothing had happened. I was so relieved!
I'm partial to rustling old garden roses (i.e., ones not protected by plant patents). Except for the two miniatures I rescued from the $1 half-dead plant sale cart at a local store, all mine are grown from cuttings. I figure if a rose has been growing for decades all on its own, I'm not likely to kill it. 😂 I have a monster that I grew from cuttings of a rose that was slowly swallowing an abandoned house in my old neighborhood. She only blooms once, but it's spectacular and the scent is amazing. And rose hip tea is delicious.
Good intro to roses. A little more about pruning and late maintenance- would help. People don’t seem to realize that roses need good air circulation. Less of a probe, for you becuase your weather is not and dry. But in humid climates I’ve noticed that people don’t cut back stems all the way so that there is space for air - and that causes diseases of all kinds.
Honestly, that’s for almost everything.
I think own roots roses are the way to go! And in cold areas, think about Canadian roses. Lot of information in this short video.
I bought our Judy Garland rose from Heirloom Roses. It smells like peaches 🍑 and is my favorite rose
Such a good choice!
Heres anotha great video on ERIC'S gardening channel ❤ haha
I've become obsessed with roses this season, theyre so wonderful. The worst part is that im in florida haha
I love love love the arbor your rose are growing on Would you share what it is or where you purchased it To me it looks like a fencing of sorts that we put around our horses hay bales, trees? No? Either way it’s EPIC!😅
That’s climbing Cecile Brunner. It also comes in a shrub form. Climber puts on biggest show in April then a bit more in the fall. Shrub version has first bloom in may and continues throughout season. Since it blooms all summer, not quite as many blooms as the climber (that blooms “all at once”
Kevin when you said to water close to the plant and fertilize also , on roses do there roots grow down or out ? Because if they grow out don’t we want to focus on the drip line of the plant😊this is when we need people like you ❤
There are deep roots and some shallow feeder roots. Classically you make a soil basin around the rose to water. That way you can fill that up and it will percolate down all around the base of the rose.
I could use some advice on roses. I'm in zone 9b subtropic and I can't tell if my roses like full sun. I've got two on the north and 2 on the south. The ones on the north have less sun, thick but few stems, and big flowers. The ones on the south - the one that's shaded until late spring all summer have thick stems and spreads, but rarely flowers, and the one that gets afternoon sun makes a lot of flowers but is extremely leggy with skinny stems.
Hi Kevin - another great and informative video. Could you tell me how long should a bare root rose take to wake up and start flourishing? I've had 5 David Austin bare root roses since February and still nothing. I received three Rose trees from David Austin and they are going to town and I just purchased those last month? I'm from Tampa, FL where we are in zone 10a and its hot. We're already hitting the high 80s close to the 90s already. Not understanding why they are not growing. 😞Thank you so much!!
Noissette is pronounced NWAH/ZET. French word referring to a choice morsel,(usually of meat). BTW I hate the taste of blue fish but they make excellent fertilizer for roses.
I always thought roses were super hard to grow but out of all the stuff I planted in our front yard when we moved into this house a few years ago the ONLY thing that survived my ADHD brain was the one rose bush I planted. 3 years on and it's still going fine. I literally never do anything to it. I don't water it, I don't fertilize it, I don't prune it, frankly I'm shocked it's alive but I must have picked a very hardy variety or something. So as impressed as I was with that one I went back to the nursery I got it from and bought another rose bush from them. I intended to plant it but never did. That was a year ago, it's still sitting in its original container on my front porch. Now granted, this one does not put out many blooms (my other one blooms like mad once the weather warms up) but it IS still alive...somehow...
After a little more than 1/2 this video, & I am now thinking about taking out my rose plants for food. Wife doesn't like them in the house, so why do I keep them? I like your videos, informative, & fun. Maybe I can move some from the back yard - garden area - to the front - the do not tread on me area :-) or no parking...
Can’t wait for that “You’d be crazy not to grow this in May” video to drop!
1:47 that rose hip, it is kind of a fruit. If you brew it like tea it can help you with kidney stone. It breaks it down and help you pass it. Persians do it all the time and my uncle drinks this because he gets kidney stone all the time. It tastes sour and delicious.
The house we bought came with millions of roses.. literally like rose garden. Being with a toddler we were worried that she will hurt by running around so we moved everything around the borders.. it was very well installed roses so we're bit scared. But it survived without any watering just with some wood chips around the root. And I didn't touch it for two years. Now after two years I have cut to around 50cm from the ground. This season they are explosive. My experience from roses are don't do anything special. Also I find that the one in the partial shade gets more aphids which I let the natural predators to take care of. So lot of sun little to no care will let your roses to thrive.
Not to forget to mention I indeed tried to fertilize them with rose fertilizer I bought. But I found the aphids was so much that year.. and recalled some blogger mentioning that too much nitrogen and too much aphids. So I literally didn't do anything but it's very good this year.
Best way to avoid issues with grafted roses is to just not buy them. Buy own-root roses instead. Harder to find, but worth it! They can die all the way to the ground but come back from the roots. No more Dr Huey reverted roses! In my colder climate we lose grafted roses all the time. The last couple winters caused a lot of rose casualties. But own-roots came back as beautiful as ever!
We do love own-root roses for this very reason!
Great primer for new rosarians.
This article certainly paints a rosy picture of growing roses. In dry climates and areas with lots of pollution, they are much easier than in other areas, because those conditions tend to keep black spot and rust in check. Roses can also get virus disease, which permanently weakens affected plants, and then there is the matter of replant disease. So while I liked this video I think the importance of selecting varieties that both thrive and are disease resistant in your area wasn't stressed enough. A lot of people are constantly spraying their roses with fungicides to keep them healthy, but it's not only a losing game in the long run but also harmful to many creatures. So maybe a follow up on these topics would be a good idea.
How many seasons has that Cecile brunner been in the ground? Looks great.
Hey Kev! Did you ever end up getting a Philodendron Spiritus Sancti? I’ve been seeing them pop up online recently in the UK, established or tissue culture, for
What other alternative do you guys recommend using mulch made from wood, I am trying to avoid termites as I have seen them around my house, can I use rubber mulch?
wow ! very good .
What about knock out rose bushes or double knock or rise bushes? Are they one time bloomers, or multiple bloomers, are they easy to grow in Florida??
Pretty 🌹
I NEED help.😂 I didn't see on the trusted channel. I can't figure out is it better to make your own soil or buy? I have only ever used Miracle-Gro Moisture Control and my plants have always survived I have over 800 plants but for composting I bought worms and Miracle-Gro has so many chemicals in it that I didn't realize and I couldn't use it for my intended purpose so my real question is would it be worth it or cost-effective to make your own soil versus buying the most organic stuff
I just transplanted a tiny rosebush in my yard. It hasn't started blooming yet. Should I prune any buds that emerge to encourage the plant to develop stem and leaf growth in the first year? Or should I allow it to bloom? Any advice is appreciated.
If you transplanted while the rose was dormant, you can let it bloom! The plant will naturally send more energy to the roots and push out smaller blooms this first growing season. Prune back in the late fall or late winter (depending on your zone) and she should bounce back next year... especially if she is own-root.
@@robinheirloomroses3483 Thank you, Robin!
Kevin, where did you get your rose arbor?
Yes I love the rose but I would like to purchase an arbor that it is growing on Does anyone have an idea where to purchase such an arbor
And the old garden roses are mostly hybridized as well as the modern garden roses
can you make video about lavender?
Can you show us how you grew your roses on the arch
7:40 Blue pigments are the hardest color to produce. Unless it has the potential to have a blue variety in nature, it's not possible. For animals, they use have to used metallic molecules to bend the light to make themselves seem blue.
My gardening style has changed so much recently. I used to love roses and hydrangeas but I cannot afford to water them anymore. In the UK we get charged per drop of water we use :(
What?!! No way! I’m so sorry
@@nikkistump3480 sad reality of water meters being installed across the UK :/
Had few roses that was so nice big, but this year starte look horrible, so l cuted almost evrything till The ground and now its regrow, not expectong blogoms lm happpy they alive again. I heard Pine needles is good for roses is it true?
Whats the giant coral one on the end?
My problem is with the yellow or diseased leaves and what to do to prevent them. I pick them up, as I once learned, but over the course of the season, I will lose many leaves and end up with just a stock. Help with this would be great.
I didn't lose any roses winter 22. I lost 5 this last winter.
Kevin! 😃
Also not all old garden roses are pre 1867. The group, or class of rose that the individual plant belongs to had to exist pre1867 for the plant to be an old garden rose.
Rose hips are very high in vitamin C and make excellent jelly.
Question not related to roses, but you got me thinking… I have 3 15yr old peony plants and I haven’t fertilized them once since I moved in 3yrs ago. AND I’m sure my aunt who live here prior hadn’t done it either. Should I fertilize them annually? And if so, with what?
Easy rule to follow: if they are healthy and producing good flowers, they don't need it.
I have no idea what kind of roses I have. They were here when I bought my house. They look like basic big box store bushes. I have never watered them or anything. I have to cut them back every year though or else they get out of control!
my mom is great in the garden but she still has a professional gardener to prune the roses at the end of the season
I'm still learning roses, so the video's timely. I think roses are like the "gateway" plant to get into more flowers in the garden.
Thanks mate . Can you talk about your garden tower please I got one but the soil is always dry
Do you have any help with making them bloom? I bought a rose bush from our Tractor Supply two years ago and it gets tall and green every year but no blooms. Before we moved here the ground was covered with poison ivy and oak. I dig it all up and cleaned the ground but no blooms.
I had this happen once , they called it a “blind rose”. I eventually got rid of it.
It could be midge also. Do you see black near where a bud should have formed?
My neighbors across the road have planted roses on the street side of their houses. They did that the first couple years. And don't bloom much now. It is the North side of the houses. They are shaded all but a couple months in the summer when the sun is at a high enough angle. It is nice and open where they are planted, but the trailers cast a shadow there except for a short period during mid day, most months of the year. They get a few months where they get 6 hours of bright sun.
@@GoingGreenMom This is a great example of why rose planting location is so critical. They LOVE sun! I would recommend 6 hours of sunlight minimum. My house faces north too. So all my roses are in the back!
Im visiting an Antarctic base camp rn and roses cannot grow there for sure
lol granny plant!
Kevin all three of our rose bushes got “witch’s broom” 😭
I have a Cherokee rose (rosa laevigata). It is both so pretty and the bane of my existence at the same time. I planted it in the ground. Don't do that. DO NOT DO THAT. It spreads everywhere and makes me cuss a lot. Now I can't cut it out because there's a cardinal nest in it!
I have a rosa rugosa that I and the pollinators absolutely love, but it could easily take over my garden if I didn't stay on top of the suckers.
❤❤❤
Great to see a new sponsor, but Heirloom roses are notoriously…underwhelming and not a good deal. Too many other companies offer larger, healthier, older and established roses for the same price (and often less). If you’re new to roses or want a better yield sooner, do your research on online suppliers and growers.
