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.

‼️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.

Harvested some rosehips last year and I have a baby rose growing now! Such a proud rose parent now 🥹

Some of my roses are almost 35 years old. I learned about the 5 leave rule when I volunteered at Hershey Gardens in PA. 🌹

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

12:10 pruning it in that way also helps ventilation and therefore makes them less exposed to fungal diseases. the rule is to prune leaving space in the center, with only branches going outwards

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!

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!

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

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.

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!

A great KZfaq 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!

I've had roses for years and once established they are fairly resilent! They do indeed thrive in full sun and have deep roots once established. I love them because they will bloom until it gets cold.

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 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.

'Cecile Brunner' is a rambler. In California, I saw them grow up an evergreen to over 30 feet. Ramblers don't like a hard prune. They will not bloom if pruned too hard; on the other hand, climbers, which may go to 12 or 15 feet (depending on the hybrid) but rarely more, will bloom even with a hard prune (even though it defeats the purpose of a climbing rose if you prune hard). People who want a good selection of own-root roses should (must) go to sellers of Old Garden Roses and older Hybrid Teas--and there are several online. In the category of Old Garden Roses are many varieties of rose: albas, gallicas, damasks, portlands, chinas, teas, noisettes, polyanthas, musks, mosses, etc. Each has its own shape, growth habits, bloom structure, etc. That's the trouble with accepting a sponsorship: You cannot tell your audience that there are MANY own-root roses out there that are sold by people OTHER THAN HEIRLOOM ROSES--and you get more value for your money. I wish Americans would stop taking the "I'm too dumb, you're too dumb" route. It was NEVER DONE by Baby Boomers. LEARN AND TEACH. Stop presenting mental laziness. It's unforgivable.

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.

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.

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.

You should have mentioned cleaning your pruners and snips before using them on a rose AND between rose types, sometimes even between branches if you already have disease. I live in the middle of the UK and we are quite moist all year round, this can cause fungal issues with roses in particular. Get a jug or something filled with a diluted anti fungal/antibacterial and just dip the snips in the jug after every cut or so, give em a wipe with a clean cloth and keep on trimming.

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 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’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

I love my Heirloom Roses “All Dressed Up”. I chose it because it is an own-root rose. Thanks for these tips, Eric! 🤣🤣🤣

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 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.

Thank you so much for this video! I just bought an Heirloom rose (Jasmine Climbing) about 2 weeks ago and planted it in a prized all-sun part of my tiny urban backyard/garden. Wow! Jasmine is really taking off! Perhaps a little weird, but having a rose is a bit like having a pet -- training and watching and feeling a bit of pride in the process. I am enjoying all of 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!

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.

@epicgarden I had 47 roses different variety, and part of the 47 roses, I had 15 climbing, one of the climbing had not produced any new growing but still have healthy roots, I'm crossing my fingers for it to grow next years, I've been deadhead my roses and seeing great improvements on the new grow, I'm having a hard time trimmings them too, since I want my climbing move forward, they're been giving me a tough time after I planted them, some was disturbed while I took them out of their tight containers, we lost some roots not going to lie, they're not happy with me for almost 4 weeks sad and yellow leaves, I had to cut off many yellow and new sprouts since they turned brown, I finally getting some new fresh grow now, thanks to your videos education about how to keeps them survive 😂, I appreciated it alots ❤

thank you for this video, I am looking to relocate my mum 3 roses into pot. this has given me a lot of tips

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!

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.

Thanks for the great pruning roses videos from the past. Pruning to an outward facing bud was the game changer advice for me. I pruned my rose last season properly and I never saw it bloom so much. I always thought it wasn’t getting enough sun but it was improper pruning and fertilization was needed. I’m on the hunt for purple colored roses. I got plum perfect from heirloom. I also have ebb tide. I love that South Africa rose.

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.

Thank you! Ive been searching for information on roses for probably a year since I decided to give gardening a go and yours is the only channel to actually explain things so that a complete newbie like me can actually understand! This has helped so much! Love your climbing rose that is just gorgeous, I wonder how long did it take to grow that large?

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 am planting my yard long beans today. I can't believe how prolific they were last year!

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.🌹

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...

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.

I’m so happy about this video!!! Love the explanations and suggestions you always give us ❤

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.❤

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.

Have had lots of roses over the years. Love them

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 🤞🤞🤞

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.

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.

Great pruning tips. Thank you for the great tips. Love your channel.

Fantastic rose video! Thank you!! I love the metal arches!

Kevin, A lot of great advice--thank you. 😊

I live in San Diego and have 2 roses that the previous owners planted. They give off a good amount of blooms but always seem to have rust on their leaves. I prune the affected leaves, thin them out to encourage air flow, and only water at the base but it keeps coming back.

Love this video! Will help me with my rose garden

Thanks so much for the awsome video, Kevin! Roses are pretty hard to kill for me. But these tips will definlty help them thrive!! ❤❤❤

Oh my word! Roses are amazing at the same time there are so many kinds....it makes my head spin lol

Great video, thank you. I have oved roses all my life and taken some courses in pruning and caring for them.

Thank you, I am growing my 1st rose ever this year bare root!

You and I started in roses about the same time. Yours are amazing! I’m struggling with some of mine bc of drought and they just don’t like our city water. I’m trying so hard to get a good flush of blooms this year. Rain, rain come my way.🌧️ ☔️ y’all, Florida is getting crispy!

Great primer for new rosarians.

Thanks-I learned a lot!

Great tips. Thanks.

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

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 lol'd at the "granny plant" reference, that was 100% me too and now in my 30s they're one of my favourite plants - my philosophy used to be that if something wasn't edible or medicinal I wouldn't waste space growing it, and I think that was a negative reaction to all those ugly lawn-and-hedge gardens that are neither beautiful nor functional but still get called "ornamental". The older I've gotten, the more I've slowed down and started to appreciate that beauty (and fragrance) is just as useful to the soul as vegetables and herbs are to the body. They say people get more conservative as they get older, but at least IME they just become more likely to grow and appreciate roses

Thanks for this

I bought our Judy Garland rose from Heirloom Roses. It smells like peaches 🍑 and is my favorite rose

Thank you for the information

Thank you for this video

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.

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!

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.

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

Once upon a time I had roses that lived beautifully through the North East in Winter. Now I have a few that look like thy have gone to seed or critters, bugs so forth. I keep trying though. Today I planted a beautiful Tea Rose in Cream Sickle orange and am babying it, lol. Fertilizer, water, mulch and bug spray because some of the leaves look chewed on. I planted it in full sun and am looking forward to using your tips on keeping it gorgeous. Thank you for all of your tips! I just subscribed. :) Hugs from One Happy Planter :), Dee

Had to laugh when I saw a pic on the Knockout rose's website showing a watering can pouring water on top of a rose shrub.

Cecile Brunner is beautiful as a climbing rose ❤

Roses& alliums (esp. garlic!) love growing together as companions 🌹💗

Love this video. Can you do a similar video addressing how to prune citrus properly. Thank you. ❤❤❤

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 ❤

Can’t wait for that “You’d be crazy not to grow this in May” video to drop!

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.

Thank you❤

I went to check if he linked his prunes because I've never had any that don't splinter the cane. They are $60 I usually spend about $9. I guess that explains it.

I've become obsessed with roses this season, theyre so wonderful. The worst part is that im in florida haha

OMG English speaking!!! This is one of the few videos I can understand clearly!🥳

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...

Heres anotha great video on ERIC'S gardening channel ❤ haha

I see you flossing them fancy felco cutters. It's my dream to fool up on felco and Sneeboer tools❤

Greeting's From Ireland, The only rose I have is a very old peony rose no thorn's great. Me and the thorny one's don't get along. My mother is eighty five and she has load's of the thorny one's and I dread when I have to weed them, there were time's when I thought I'd have to go to A&E. I'd rather be nailed to a cross than grow rose's in my garden.

Can you share the information about the climbing rose arch that you have?

wow ! very good .

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.

why oh why was i always told to ONLY water roses after the sun had gone down!! didn't realise it introdused bugs? never again!!

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!😅

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??

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.

Here In Maryland, nothing seems to survive the insects and fungus. Could you please recommend a Repeat Blooming Tea Rose that can survive North Easter hot and humid conditions?

👌🏽👍🏽👋🏽🙂💯💯awesome video thank you 😊

god bless you more

Mines are having black spots..I took all the ugly leaves off and threw them away and even trimmed my roses some. I then put some treatment in the soil that's suppose to treat that a a few other rose diseases etc ...But since then my roses are even more ugly.. I hope they pop back..
