It is prudent in these conditions to prepare an area in which to heel in the roses. More advice on heeling in can be found within our planting advice pages and a full set of planting instructions will come with your rose. We would never advise buying a pre-packed rose from a supermarket for you have no idea how long they have been packaged and may well have dried out. Bare root roses are available to order throughout the year and are normally delivered between November 1st and March 31st.
These should always be hard pruned at the time of planting, before they are placed in the hole is the logical time. Even the most rampant of ramblers will benefit from this treatment as it encourages basal growth, from which the plant will make its shape. Climbers, ramblers and shrub roses should be reduced to about six inches, bush roses to about four inches. A correctly planted rose will need to have the union and first inch or so of branches below soil level.
This is to reduce the risk of suckers developing and damage by wind-rock. For a bare root rose the hole should be wide enough to allow the roots to be spread out and deep enough so that the base of the stems are just covered.
We recommend using a good quality compost, like John Innes No 3, especially if planting roses into pots. We would also advise adding a proprietary rose food or bone meal into the base of the hole. A handful is enough and this should be mixed in with the soil there to avoid root scorch. A little powdered food can also be sprinkled onto the removed soil before it is returned. Alternatively, we would recommend using Peter Beales Roots Boost mychorrhizal fungi.
Unlike bone meal, mychorrhizal fungi should be applied directly to the roots to promote better absorption of water and essential nutrients. The bare root rose should now be held with one hand at the right depth with the roots spread out, whilst the first of the soil is returned, either by hand or with a spade.
When approximately half the hole is full the rose can be left alone and the soil firmed in by foot. The remainder of the soil can then be returned and firmed in the same way. Once this is done the surface soil may be tidied and the rose labelled, there is nothing more annoying than not knowing the name of a beautiful rose. Much of the bare root planting instructions also apply for a rose bought in a container, with the first inch or so of the branches below soil level, and the hole wide enough for the root ball.
To reduce the risk of damaging the root system we would not advocate the teasing out of the roots. The plant should be young enough to allow the roots to break through by themselves.
If purchased early in the year it is wise to leave the rose in its pot until late May at the earliest to give the roots time to establish. A more comprehensive set of planting instructions can be found within the advice section of the website. For information on delivery costs please click here.
Please Note: Bare root roses are tied in bundles. If you have ordered more than one rose please cut the string holding the roses together and separate carefully before planting. Bare root roses should not be planted when their roots are dry nor should they be planted during frost. If it is frosty when you receive them, they should not come to any harm left unopened in their package for up to one week. If it remains frosty for longer than this open the package and, after thoroughly moistening the roots, place the roses still in their bundle in a container of damp soil or damp sand.
A wooden box, bucket or large polythene bag will usually hold enough soil for this purpose. Plant out the roses when the frost has disappeared. Container roses are delivered throughout the year.
If you receive your container rose at the start of the year then it is likely to have been recently potted into its container. This is to allow the young fibrous roots time to establish and knit together with the surrounding soil, which will minimise any chance of damage. Browse All Roses. Browse All Bare Root Roses.

Planting Advice. Roses like a generous root space, so dig a deep hole approximately twice as wide as the current root system, preferably adding composted organic matter to the soil.
Never plant into frozen soil — in winter, await a frost-free period. Carefully remove the pot and gently tease the roots apart to spread them around the hole. Replace the soil, firming it down gently, then water copiously. Ideally, a general purpose fertiliser should be applied to the surrounding soil as a top dressing. Buying our Roses. Most of our roses are supplied in a 4 litre pot although this may vary slightly depending on rose variety.
If the size of pot differes significatly from 4 litres then we will make this clear somewhere on the product page. Our roses are grown outdoors and as such are subject to seasonal changes. As we sell potted stock throughout the year your rose may not arrive and look like you expect it to. If you are uncertain how your rose will arrive especially if buying for a gift then we suggest you contact us prior to making a purchase.
Freshly Potted. Each year a new batch of roses is potted up ready for the following season. If you purchase a freshly potted rose and plant it soon after you will find that when removing the rose from the pot there will be a lot of loose soil as the roots will not have had time to grow and bind the compost. In autumn the majority of our roses have finished flowering and begin to look untidy, at this point we prune them quite hard in preparation for the following season.
We continue to sell roses throughout the year, when a rose has been pruned in such a way we will identify it has being so.
