Wow - I've been gardening for over 50 years, even studied horticulture at the college level AND went through the California Master Gardener program and I must say your videos and information are top notch - thanks!

Dig hole. Add to hole 1 part peat moss, 1 part living or good soil (no granular fertilizer soil mix), 1 cup bone meal and 1/2 bag worm castings. Mix it up. Start holes before roses arrive to break up planting process. Use rose box to make weed barrier around rose cutting triangles where canes come out. Water in well with liquid fish fertilizer. ☺

Just got my first roses ever - about to embark on this new journey. The videos make me feel more confident that I can do this. Using the box is brilliant. TY!

Ok, so your plantable, non toxic cardboard makes me very happy ! I started using all our cardboard to suppress weeds and feed worms and I love it. It’s so important to waste less and I really applaud you guys for thinking of this green detail! Way to go

I am so excited to get my 2 Jude the Obscure from you guys and now I know exactly how to prepare for their utmost success ! Bravo

Loved the cardboard triangle cut out idea, thank you 😊

I just received my roses, they look in a good shape even is 95° now in Ohio . Can’t wait to see how they perform in the next few years .

Got my roses! I have gotten “own root” roses from other companies previously but without question these are the best packed and the best “own root” specimens I have ever seen.

I can't wait to get my rose garden started!

[jeanburgin]

Great tutorial!!! My roses will be coming from you in a couple of weeks!!! Can't wait. Thanks for sharing. All the best! lol, yes it is stinky and like you I love it for plants.

[GardenDoodles]

Great idea using the cardboard to suppress weeds around the rose before mulching. Wish we had done that!

I'm really glad that I just watched this video, in a couple weeks I'm heading to Tombstone Arizona where the world's largest rose bush is and I'm going to get two or three rose bush cuttings and thanks to you now I know how to correctly plant them!

[tibbs]

Thank you!!! I have been so scared to plant my first rose bush but this has given me confidence!

I have never tried own root Rose's, I've always bought grafted roses, either from local nursery, or Jackson Perkins or others on line. But, I've watched a few of your videos recently. I will order a few roses next spring from you guys. I've lost grafted roses in the past, when I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong. So, I may try a few of your hybrid tea roses, and see how they do, and how they compare. Thank you, John

I can’t wait for this to come out! I just bought my first climbing rose

[Kathysart]

Ohh so helpful!! I am expecting 3 rose bushes from Heirloom tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for the info. Yup, I need worm castings and peet moss. I’ve got the bonemeal. Very exciting! I cannot wait as I’ve never planted roses with fragrance before. I just didn’t know. 🍃🌸🍃

[rodolfocastaneda]

Thank you!! I just got mine and I can’t wait to plant it!

[rawsunnata]

That is a good idea about a cardboard!

[isabelladavis]

this is exactly what I needed to see this morning, love everyone of my roses from your company.thsnk you for the very informative video.

[angiemeyers]

Thanks for great video. I just started using fish fertilizer this year and my dog goes crazy! I am on pure sand, so building my base has been quiet w process. Great tip about using the cardboard as weed barrier. I will start using that idea!

My recommendation to you: I wish I had read this BEFORE my roses arrived. I am here suggesting, that when someone order roses from you, with the information that you have received the order to INCLUDE this video and also the video of amending all parts of the garden soil like you did (that I still have to look that you have mentioned at the beginning of this video). So when the roses come, the bigger area has been amended, then an additional amended soil created just before the roses are planted in the created hole. And also use measurements like 1/2 cup instead of part of the bag.
