I think grouping the planters together is an excellent suggestion. Mean while, it would be helpful, too, that you mulch the roses with one to two inches of compost in pots and ground, then water with kelp. Kelp acts like a natural anti freezer while compost is a heated blanket. They help all my plant surviving the harsh winters in the past.

First year, very windy in area 5b and I decided to leaving them in one my raising bed. This bed is in a area surrounded with two walls, very good protection but of course they will get less sunshine…i will surround the raise bed with mulch bags for additional isolation as suggested. My husband definitely think I am crazy as this raise bed is just underneath our formal dining room … i said, it’s perfect, i will have an eye on my pots easily!

Thanks for sharing the tips! Can not believe that it will be winter soon. I like the idea of mulch bags! That's awesome. 😊 last year during the snow in TX. I used a freeze blanket that made for a vegetable garden wrap around pots together. They look like roae mummy. Lol 🤣 They are very long and perfect for wrapping around. Always water before the hard freeze..it helps.

I've been overwintering some balcony plants for a few years now, with pretty good -but not perfect- success. One thing I found helped with small (under 1 gallon) planters was to nestle them into a tote filled with dirt for added insulation. (Or even just into a larger container plant, in the case of tiny cup-sized planters.) I picked up a lot of useful tips (mulch, no terracotta, frequency of winter watering) from this vid, and I am excited to improve upon my process!

Glad to see this video. As an apartment dweller, I grow all my roses in containers on my deck. I plan to wrap the pots in bubble wrap for added insulation (the pots themselves can withstand weather just fine), and push the roses up against the side of the house in a group. I do like the mulch bag idea. I'm in zone 6b, and they're all zoned colder than that, so I'm hoping they do OK. I admit I'm a little nervous about it having never overwintered potted plants before. But I really appreciate advice that isn't just stick them in a garage or bury the pot, since that's not something we all can do.

@@TheRoseGeek Over all well, considering we got hit with crazy weather over Christmas - a sudden 40 degree temp drop and temperatures below zero for a couple of days. I only lost one and have another that's struggling. The rest all came back just fine. When I left to go out of town at Christmas, I thought they'd all be wiped out, but they're made of some pretty stern stuff.

Hello. I just found you here in youtube and enjoy your content so much. They are very helpful. I just started planting roses and this will be my first winter with potted roses. Is it safe to just take them and hide them in the garage after the first frost (zone 7, Oklahoma)? I planted them in large plastic pots. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge . ❤

This is my first year with the roses. Some in bigger pots some still in smaller individual pots. I was planning to group them in a bigger container fill the gap with wood sreddings and leaves. And bring them out to the shad. Apparently they're love to be dormant for the winter. But I am bit nerves. Maybe the basment is a better idea. Would love to hear your suggestions. I do not feel comfortable leave them out next to the house. Thank you kindly

Hi there! New rose steward here, appreciate the video and tips. I have a lovely rose bush in a pot at the moment, I was thinking of insulating the pot and keeping it in the garden shed over winter. The shed gets a little natural light but it is mostly dark in there. Do you think this is a bad idea?

I love this idea of placing mulch bags next to the group. I am a backyard gardener. But my back yard is north facing. I tried potted roses last winter (2023). They looked good until the spring when they all died. I didn’t protect any of them (4). I was so devastated. This video was very informative except I didn’t hear anything about north side vs south side. What is your opinion on that? Thanks

I will be putting my young potted hybrid Tea rosses in my shed for winter... should I let them go bone dry in winter or just keep them a bit damp until after the last deep frost when I take them out of the shed? (zone 5B) It sounds like you would advise me to water them a bit even in sub zero conditions?

The house is tough (inside) because they won't go dormant and you will be fighting with spider mites and aphids. It might be really frustrating for you. What zone are you in? Would they be ok outside so that they can get a little nap and go dormant?

I intend to take my container grown plants in heavier containers and put them in smaller containers to make them lighter and easier to move. I will then put them in the ground to protect them from winter in zone 7A. Does anyone else follow this practice? I''d be interested in knowing about any tips that people use.

I don't have ground access for my garden, but I have buried pots in a big bin of dirt! The plants lived, and the bin of dirt + planters was more temperature/moisture stable as a whole than individual containers I left out. I imagine it would work similarly, but better, in the ground! Though taking a bit more energy to get the initial hole dug :)

My observation 1. What is the source of heat? Plants do not generate heat like animals so there is no real point to isolate from that perspective. But house walls or earth are potentially a heat source worth protecting around plants. Keep the plants as lower to the ground and even covered by snow. 2. The most devastating for plants is not cold but cold dry winds that dry out the plant that is unable to compensate water loss. That is the biggest benefit of covering the plants and watering. However do not use plastic or bubble wrap. 3. Protect the plants from temperature swings. Not in the sun, no plastic covers that create a greenhouse effect.

I am in zone 8B and have all terra-cotta planters. None of them have ever cracked. I can't imagine replanting all my plants every year for the winter and this seems like it's irrelevant in my zone. Perhaps you could be a bit more granular with this advice?
@TheRoseGeek
@TheRoseGeek 10 ай бұрын
In zone 8b and warmer, you don't really have the freezing temps that we do. I lose ceramic and terra cotta if they are left outside for the winter. I will certainly try to research other zones if I make another video. Thanks for watching!
