Gosh , you make sound so SIMPLE. I own about 15 hybrid roses and I am always guessing myself. I don’t like losing roses. Is Ens of September her in N.E. and my roses are getting some sun because the sun is not as high and the tree I blocking the sun . And I am freaking out .

Hi Paul! This was very useful. Thanks. Care for a story? I recently informed Customer Service that the container roses that I received last Fall and had carefully nursed through our winter, inside my home, in a living room space that we keep at 50 F, with morning sun, had yet to awaken! Each plant had had magnificent sets of deep green leaves upon arrival and I was looking forward to a fast recovery in the Spring.
But alas, no such luck! A scratch test shows them to be alive but neither plant has showed any signs of life! How long should I wait before declaring them officially dead?
Customer Service tells me that this rose is out of stock and they have no way of knowing when they will get it back in stock! So, I am sad! But maybe I can learn something from the experience. Should I have kept these roses in their original containers? Should I have continued to water them after they had lost all their leaves?

How many times to water bare roots after planting? It’s in a pot mine looks like it’ll not make it 😔

[@lindadanley9985]

Why is the root ball so small as the rose comes out of dormancy? The whole plant lifted up while I was pushing away the fall mulch. Thank you!

The roots may have been eaten over the winter by voles or something else.
