Bare Root Roses

Planting Bare Root Roses



Bare root roses, are roses that are dormant. These rose bushes are readily available from nurseries and growers who do mail order roses. There are many good reasons for planting rose bushes that are dormant.

When do these rose plants become available? They are available in winter or late winter.

However, these roses must be planted right away, so schedule your deliveries, if you buy by mail order, for arrival after all danger of frost in your area is gone.



When To Plant Roses With Bare Roots


Because the rose bushes are dormant, you can get an earlier start in the season since they can be planted sooner than potted up roses.

Planting these roses can be done as soon as the ground is workable and the danger of winter frost is gone.

These rose bushes are always quite a bit cheaper than potted roses that are already growing. Cost is usually a consideration if you are putting in a hedge or planting on a larger scale.

I prefer ordering these roses by mail for late winter or early spring delivery.

The advantages of mail order is freshness and better quality.

This is because the rose breeders and growers who ship by mail are specialists in harvesting, storing and shipping.

Planting Roses That Are Bare Root

Mail order companies are also able to offer a wider selection of interesting and rare roses, that local garden centers typically do not stock.

And catalog companies are willing to stand behind their products. Replacement of merchandise is just a phone call away.

I have had nothing but great experiences buying roses by mail, so I recommend it highly, especially for dormant roses.
