I ordered a bare root mini rose call Life's Little Pleasures. On March 10th, it arrived truly bare... without any soil... and I planted it in a pot. 2-3 weeks later, I placed the pot outside. Now, roughly 7 weeks after I planted in a pot, it has almost 20 buds of all sizes, and more are coming. This is my very first rose, and it boosted my confidence so much. I highly recommend this type of roses for all beginners,
Clear, concise instruction and explanation. I find that with all of your videos. Very helpful, even for those of us in hot southern California. Enjoyable videos thanks for your time
Jason, the only problem I'm having is the cold weather but that will go away come spring. If I was having a problem I'm sure this video would help me solve it. So thank you for making these videos, they are so educational. I never had much success till I found you and now my friends and family ask me for advice on roses.
Thanks Dennis. I'm keeping this video in my back pocket for the next time(s) I get asked the question - and I can send the link. The way I figure it, there's only a short-term benefit to me personally trouble-shooting a viewer's gardening problems, but it's a long-term win if I can teach them how to solve the problem themselves.
Wow! Thank you for this video. Being in a tropical climate, I am quite prone to calling it quits on roses that don't bloom for me in a year (I usually assume it needs a colder period of weather). However now, I think I'll just wait some more time for my Climbing Angel Face to have mature wood before giving up.
Moved into my house about 10 years ago. The rose was here and was well established. It's either a climber or a hybrid tea, it grows 2 metres tall pretty easily. I pruned it back in winter to about knee height. It's now over doubled in size but hasn't flowered. It's the middle of spring here. I used some clippings and propogated 3x. 1 died, one really took off but hasn't flowered and the 3rd took off lightly but I think it's got it's first bud on it. Out of all my roses that's all I have. But I wasn't expecting much after just a few months. It has rained heavily but everyone around has such pretty roses so it's my plant
Thanks Jason for encouraging me. and oops I think I spotted something I should have done. Looking forward to spring so I can see what I remember. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
This was perfect timing for me as I have a climbing rose which has not given me a single bloom since I put it in the ground 18 months ago. It was on my list to get rid of if it didn’t perform by next season, but now I think I will go through your checklist and give it a bit more time. Thank you so much - I love all your videos. You explain things so clearly. I am in Australia so I love seeing all the snow in your videos right now!! Happy New Year. 🇦🇺
Hi 👋😀👍Jason @ Fraser Valley Rose Farm please don't feel alone without any Rose blooms mine has not a bud for the whole summer because it has been so cold here and my Rose tree just been growing leaves maybe let's hope your Rose trees and my Rose trees will do better thank you so much for sharing your video Happy safe warm and Healthy Holidays 👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️
Thank you so much Jason @ Fraser Valley Rose Farm for the beautiful red heart and thank you so much for enjoying my messages and comments@ Fraser Valley Rose Farm 👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️
I have 2 rose bush 7 feet tall, I believe their tea roses 🌹 I live in zone 3 Minneapolis Minnesota. They seem to have plenty of good soil there up against the house about it on the sunsetting side so they get enough sun but not too much my question is when do I chop them down what season what month? And I have rose fertilizer that it comes in a box I’m not sure what brand. I have not used it much. Help to flower 🌹
Hi Jody. In Minnesota, it's best to do any major pruning in the late winter or early spring, after the risk of coldest weather. You can still deadhead and tidy the rest of the season as needed. Fertilize at the same time by the package directions and perhaps repeat through the early part of the season.
Hi Jason … I have a David Austin rose..Breath Of Life… growing very well one main stem is over 7’ in a year and it’s like a broomstick. It’s flowering. but for the size of the bush seams sparse of blooms. It’s about 2 years old now. I’ve wired it along a fence about 8’ x 7’ it’s taken over most of it. ( It’s loved) it’s fertilised, watered, sprayed just incase of pests.. There’s about 8 to 10 blooms/ buds… am I to impatient? I know you said sleep grow bloom…. Thank for all the vids. Very interesting and helpful. B🤓 from UK
Wow, thank you so much for this! I just planted a Europeana floribunda rose a few weeks ago and while all the other roses I'd planted at the same time have already developed buds waiting to bloom, this Europeana has NOT ONE bud. And so, I'm worried about it. I mean, it's growing just as fast as the others, but it just doesn't produce any buds! I wondered if this was a defective plant, if that's even possible! LOL PS The mountainous background was so beautiful with the clouds. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks Ray. I wouldn't worry just yet - some roses take their time to develop more stems and foliage first, but if it's growing well, I bet you'll see flowering soon.
I plant it mr. Lincoln on may and now is September all I got was 1 bloom 😳 I have plant other roses and they grow so big even though they were just planting
Patience would be my advice. Some roses spend their energy establishing first, and so long as it's growing healthy you should see more this coming season.
Good explanation about roses. When you said not to use fertilizer that’s for grass, it crossed my mind I used it on my ever bearing strawberries, they wouldn’t bloom but grow all summer. What would be the best fertilizer for strawberries 🍓
I find it difficult to use the proper amount of fertiliser for roses in containers...in the ground it is easier and the results are much better...last year I discovered that you can even vaporize sono fertiliser on the foliage and the absorption is quicker
My rose bush was glorious for many years but something, probably the Chicago cold, happened a few years back and now the bush produces beautiful leaves but no more roses! I am sad. It's been about 5 years and no blooms. The leaves are lush now in the spring but I'm prepared that there will never be any roses. Our bush was, a long while ago, AMAZING. Is there any hope for the future of this once glorious plant or should I just pull it up and say goodbye?
I wonder if maybe the scion variety was killed and what remains is a once-blooming rootstock? If it gets pruned annually in spring it would explain why it's no longer blooming, as it requires 2nd year wood to flower. In any case, I think 5 years was plenty generous a chance and removal is probably a good idea.
Last year I bought three Honeysweet roses. One I put in the ground, and that seems to be doing fine. The other two were in relatively small containers which lived on my back porch. They were attacked by Japanes beetles, one to the point of virtual defoliation. I put both the containers on a covered porch for the winter, and they survived. I repotted them both. One is doing fine, rather like a first year plant, but the other (the defoliated one) persists in a state of suspended animation. It put out new leaves, and just stopped. No new leaves, nothing. Foliage looks fine, just never changes. Do you have any ideas on whether I should just be patient with it, or is there something I can do to motivate it to grow? (Besides yelling at it, which hasn't had much of an effect.). Thanks!
Question: I have a rose garden with a variety of roses that are growing and blooming beautifully. In that garden I also have two bushes that "returned from dead" this year. Both are growing beautifully but neither has bloomed. Could that be because of their "resurrection"? That this could be considered their 1st year and blooming may not happen until next year?
Keep an open mind, but it's also true that many rootstock varieties won't bloom until their second year, while rebloomers (mostly the ones you'd want) will bloom on same years growth. So I'm leaning towards thinking the top stock died off and left the rootstock in charge
dying roots and scalebug not only make my roses stop blooming but also stop growing. and i think i see those rose midge in my roses sometimes but i dont know why its happen before this video so how to handle it? thanks!
I always like to have an alternative option to chemicals, but in the studies I've seen, biological controls are not terribly effective on rose midge. Most likely one of the safer chemical options for outdoor applications would be Permethrin - which is in a lot of over-the-counter pesticides (like Doktor Doom). Timed to when the midge is present and applied to foliage & growing tips, it was shown to be highly effective in reducing infected buds.
Great vids - Jason wondering if you've ever done a video on a water logged rose in a pot. I've seen some but generally involves smashing the pot (which I'd rather not do). It's not a problem in summer but will be in winter. Can I just chop the tap root in winter that has gone through the drain hole? BTW really like the snow we will be having a 41c day Christmas Day. Tx
Thanks Heather. I'm not sure I've figured out your question - when I think water logged, I'm imagining your container has obstructed drain holes, and the pot is filled with water. Do I have it right? If so (and depending on the size of the pot), I'd tip it forward to help drain the standing water, and yes, I'd cut the roots away from the drain holes to free the plant from the pot. Even in summer, standing water is not great - because the feeder roots can struggle or die off due to lack of oxygen.
Hi Jason, great info once again, but my question isn’t on the growing or caring for roses. My question is the deer that passes through my yard nearly every day, they eat the blooms, buds, and most of the top of the foliage. I don’t want to put fences around each of the plants that’s why I just quit growing roes. As far as the deer I have anywhere from 4 to 12 deer at any one time day or night. Any solutions!!!
No, nothing other than high fences, gates, and people who reliably close those gates! The scent deterrents are apparently effective for a while, but need to be reapplied pretty frequently. I've heard that the deer learn to ignore the motion-targeted sprinker gadget. I'm afraid exclusion is the only sure-fire solution.
I have a heirloom rose that I took as a cutting from a bush my grandma planted in 1945. I am growing it indoors in a pot. It is absolutely thriving! I'm so excited. I have it on the same light cycle as my cannabis plants right now which is 12 hours of light. Will it hurt it to keep it on this light cycle? It is legal to grow cannabis in Virginia where I live in case anyone is wondering. Lol
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you so much! So being that they don't respond to photoperiod, would they still be okay on an 18 hour light cycle when I have the cannabis on that cycle for it's vegetative period?
This rose cutting is very special to me as it was from my grandmother's plant and if I kill it by doing something stupid to it I'll be devasted because I may no longer have access to the mother plant soon. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! Merry Christmas 🎄⛄
Thanks. I do have blind shoots down as a topic I'd like to present in a future video. It's that pesky exception to all the rules with no logical explanation!
I have an unrelated question right now that I'm hoping you could answer (and thank you ahead of time). Over a week ago my son gave me a dozen roses (not plants, long-stemmed from the store). They were so pretty that when I cut the stems for the vase I stuck the cuttings in potting soil to try to root them. I put them outside. Some are out in the cold (mid 20F to 30F at night) and some are in a little unheated greenhouse. Do you think there's a chance any of these will live through the winter and have some roots by next April or May? I'm usually successful with rose cuttings in the summer, but it's the winter that's got me wondering. Thanks again!
It's not impossible, but in my experience, the stems that root best in cold temperatures are the fully hardwood cuttings. On bouquet stems you usually have soft through semi-hardwood.
JARMILA K. Thank You for all those informations.You really love Your work. I was so happy to see in one of yours videos Darlow's Enigma.I was looking for it more then 25 years ego.

I think I will have some for sale this coming spring - for shipping in Feb/Mar and in larger pots for sale in the farm in April/May. Watch the online store for details: www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com
This is my first season for my new climbing roses. Igot roses at first but now absolutely nothing. It looks healthy and is climbing very slow. The new leaves are a dark purple and healthy looking. Is it normal for it to stop producing 🌹
Yes, fairly normal: once planted, many roses will spend their energy on establishing roots and a good framework of stems for a while. It does depend on the variety and the growing conditions too, but a month or two pause wouldn't alarm me.
Fairly effective and systemic over a long period. It'll protect against a wide range of insects, including aphids and rose midge. I'll probably get some pushback on this response because Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid, some of which have been implicated in colony collapse disorder in bees. Here's the thing: the widespread agricultural use of neonics greatly dwarfs any ornamental use. Asking gardeners to avoid this chemical is a bit like telling Zambia (with their whopping 0.01%) of global emissions to stop burning oil to "do their share" on global warming. That said, I don't spray any hard chemicals at my farm at all.
Depending on which direction I have the camera facing. North (at the beginning of the video) is Dewdney Peak, and south (at about 3:35) is Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford.
Thanks Kobie. Sorry, I don't know the climate well enough in SA to give a solid recommendation, but I'd imagine you're in the warmer part of the year right now. It might be better to wait until it cools off a bit and plant in the cool season (May/June)
Please give me an advise What kind of chemical do you use for rose midge? And How do you prevent they come back? Rose midge is Really a head ache. I am so stress out every year because of rose midge. Thank you.
I've seen a couple of studies, and it looks like pyrethroids (like permethrin) do a good job of suppression if timed well. Sadly, it'll also kill off most beneficials in the area, so I'd suggest as targeted a spray as you can.
I have a rose which i don't understand why it is behaving like it does😅 it was 2 cuttings from my neighbor. I grew both of it in a pot then after a year i planted it on the ground. It has good growth, long stems, disease resistant and vigorous. Still, i let it grow no flower. Is it possible that this cutting is from a rose sucker?
Sure. If the growth is quite unlike the mother plant, that's a possibility. Of course, the neighbor would probably know (and might even have warned you) if the donor rose was suckering to that degree. Is the leaf count and foliage appearance similar to the mother? It also could be that the rose is still finding lots of rich soil and is favoring vegetative growth before thinking about flowers.
Not such a different problem as you may think. The reason why a rose might begin to develop buds and then abort will likely fall under one of the reasons I mentioned: conditions, care or pests. If you're pretty confident that the growing conditions and care are okay, it still leaves a couple of possibilities from the final section of the video: rose midge, or a hidden problem with the roots of the rose.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks! I think you do a great job on your channel. I live in Sweden (Stockholm area) and our weather seems pretty similar to yours!

Also ,on which site I can order some of Your roses for the spring.I watch Yours Info on YouTub.
Thank You,
Wish You and Your Family beautiful Christmas and all the best in the New Year 2022,
Thanks Jarmilla. You can even see Darlow's Enigma lurking in the background of the photo at 2:18 of this video. I think I will have some for sale this coming spring - for shipping in Feb/Mar and in larger pots for sale in the farm in April/May. Watch the online store for details: www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com
I cannot find the answer I need ! As my roses bloom they are coming out with browning and withered looking . What is going on !?
It could be thrips in the petals or botrytis (balling brought on usually by moisture and cooler temps)
This is my first season for my new climbing roses. Igot roses at first but now absolutely nothing. It looks healthy and is climbing very slow. The new leaves are a dark purple and healthy looking. Is it normal for it to stop producing 🌹
Yes, fairly normal: once planted, many roses will spend their energy on establishing roots and a good framework of stems for a while. It does depend on the variety and the growing conditions too, but a month or two pause wouldn't alarm me.
I very much enjoy your channel. What do you think of Imidacloprid?
Fairly effective and systemic over a long period. It'll protect against a wide range of insects, including aphids and rose midge. I'll probably get some pushback on this response because Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid, some of which have been implicated in colony collapse disorder in bees. Here's the thing: the widespread agricultural use of neonics greatly dwarfs any ornamental use. Asking gardeners to avoid this chemical is a bit like telling Zambia (with their whopping 0.01%) of global emissions to stop burning oil to "do their share" on global warming. That said, I don't spray any hard chemicals at my farm at all.
What is the name of the hill that we get to see very often in your videos?
Depending on which direction I have the camera facing. North (at the beginning of the video) is Dewdney Peak, and south (at about 3:35) is Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford.
We stay in South Africa in the Northworld, Randburg area, please tell me when at what time can I replant a rose. I don't want it to die on me.
Thanks Kobie. Sorry, I don't know the climate well enough in SA to give a solid recommendation, but I'd imagine you're in the warmer part of the year right now. It might be better to wait until it cools off a bit and plant in the cool season (May/June)
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you sir, we are in summer now very hot. I will do it in May June. Thank you for answering me.
Ah that explains my zephyrine drouhins. I cut them down too much.
Hope my climbers will do the third year growth they have behaved just as described
How does one make the soil more acidic? Thank you.
Usually an application of elemental sulfur
Please give me an advise What kind of chemical do you use for rose midge? And How do you prevent they come back?
Rose midge is Really a head ache. I am so stress out every year because of rose midge.
Thank you.
I've seen a couple of studies, and it looks like pyrethroids (like permethrin) do a good job of suppression if timed well. Sadly, it'll also kill off most beneficials in the area, so I'd suggest as targeted a spray as you can.
Jason help! My roses are established and they bloom easily. but my bloom lasts like 1-2 weeks max.
That sounds about right for an individual flower. Deadhead promptly and more will be on the way
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm oh really? Huh… I thought if they stay on the plant, they would last longer than that…
Hello what ph fo roses like?
I have a rose which i don't understand why it is behaving like it does😅 it was 2 cuttings from my neighbor. I grew both of it in a pot then after a year i planted it on the ground. It has good growth, long stems, disease resistant and vigorous. Still, i let it grow no flower. Is it possible that this cutting is from a rose sucker?
Sure. If the growth is quite unlike the mother plant, that's a possibility. Of course, the neighbor would probably know (and might even have warned you) if the donor rose was suckering to that degree. Is the leaf count and foliage appearance similar to the mother? It also could be that the rose is still finding lots of rich soil and is favoring vegetative growth before thinking about flowers.
But Jason what about the bunnies?
For sure - and also deer. Either one can keep the blooms from showing up.
I'm experimenting my climbing self watering roses
Nice! Wick system?
How do you amend a poorly drained soil, like clay?
Amendment won't always solve drainage I'm afraid. ua-cam.com/video/g6A5XnpxkFc/v-deo.html
I have a different problem... My roses get buds but they do not open,dry out and fall. 😲🧐🤔🌹
Not such a different problem as you may think. The reason why a rose might begin to develop buds and then abort will likely fall under one of the reasons I mentioned: conditions, care or pests. If you're pretty confident that the growing conditions and care are okay, it still leaves a couple of possibilities from the final section of the video: rose midge, or a hidden problem with the roots of the rose.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you Jason. Mary Christmas 🌲⭐🌲⭐🌹
Thanks!🌹
Looks like my rose is suffering all or most of the problems mentioned.
Do you sell rose plant plugs man?
I do sell rooted liners within Canada in the late winter/early spring.
If I woke up one morning and my lawn was all white I would immediately pack up and leave.
Can it be ants who eat the flowers? Something ate my buds and young flowers! Could have been deer though I suppose.)
I wouldn't think ants. Deer, rabbits, even squirrels on occasion.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks! I think you do a great job on your channel. I live in Sweden (Stockholm area) and our weather seems pretty similar to yours!
Thanks Wenda - I think you're right. We dip a little below freezing from time to time, but nothing like further inland.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Oh, I just checked and see that you are quite a bit further south than Stockholm!
HA!!!
i hate thrips and mites! very common in South East Asia
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏
