Transplanting Roses - Tips For Success
from:Author: K. Finch
When is the best time to transplant roses? This is one of the
most common questions asked by novice gardeners and one of the
most popular topics discussed by dedicated Rosarians. There are
no right or wrong answers and any experience gardener will have
his or her own rules regarding this based on experience. There
are general guidelines offering good advice for novices to
follow, which can give successful results. However, it is a good
idea to keep a record of the dates when you transplant your
roses and observe their progress. This will give you a clear
indication of which is the best time for you, to transplant your
roses given the type of climate you live in.
For generally guidance, the best time to transplant roses is
during a time when they are dormant. In northern climates this
period falls at the end of the winter season. In a warmer
climate transplanting can take place in late autumn or winter
Exposed roots can be transplanted any time as long as the
temperature is above freezing level. Rose transplants will not
survive if they are subjected to 10 degrees below 0 F. Container
grown roses can be transplanted at any time of year but Spring
is best, this will give the roots chance to spread and
strengthen themselves before the winter sets in.
It is possible, although it goes against the general rule, for
you to transplant roses before they become dormant. It isn't
always necessary to wait, if you don't want to, you can
transplant at any time during the growing season even during the
height of summer.
If you cannot wait until the growing season to transplant your
roses then you will need to put some safety measures into place
to ensure your roses survive the ordeal. Before you transplant
during the growing season, please follow these steps.
1) On the day before you plan to transplant your roses, give
them plenty of water, making sure the roots are thoroughly wet;
this will protect the roots and help them survive
2) Choose and prepare the ground before hand, making sure the
area is in a sunny position. The soil needs to be enriched and
nourished with plenty of peat and organic fertilizer.
3) Transplant your roses as soon as you take them from the
ground. It is vital that the roots are not subjected to sunlight
and dry air. If this isn't possible, keep the roses in a cool
dark place, never expose to sunlight or heat, as this will
damage your roses irreparably.
4) When you have successfully transplanted your roses you must
water them thoroughly. Roses need constant watering during the
growing season especially if they are adapting to new ground.
Never let the soil get too dry, especially in the height of
Summer.
5) There is no need to add any further fertilizer until you see
new growth. If you add fertilizer too soon, before the roots
have settled, you risk damaging them. The fertilizer may be too
strong for the roots at this time. Remember, your roses have
just experienced a traumatic disturbance during transplantation.
If your roses are not at their best and are beginning to wilt do
not replant them during the growing season, otherwise you risk
damaging them further, and they will not survive.
Roses are one of the most beautiful and aromatic plants that you
could have in your garden. To obtain the maximum from your roses
make sure you choose their location carefully. A well-positioned
rose, which receives at least six hours sunshine everyday,
plenty of air circulation, is in a reasonable quality soil which
is not too waterlogged can produce the most beautiful flowers.
As long as they are protected from freezing temperatures, have
plenty of space for root growth and not overshadowed by other
plants they will continue to grow year after year and give you
the most amazing results and beautiful roses.
