Thank You!
We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you for making this launch something incredible. Your kind words, enthusiasm and pure passion for roses makes our job truly rewarding.
Refreshing And Renewing
After a summer of watching your garden grow, you likely spent time observing, seeing what thrived, noting what would do better elsewhere and planning where your exciting new roses arriving in the spring might find their perfect home. Fall and spring, when roses are transitioning into or out of dormancy, are the ideal times to make those moves.
When transplanting, treat the process much like planting a new rose. An important detail is to be sure the roots are never smaller than the canes. This means it is necessary to cut back the canes to match the size of the root system before replanting. You can find our guideline on planting a bare root rose here.
A lesser known subject is rose soil tiredness or rose replant disease. It takes a little extra consideration, but avoiding planting a rose where a rose has already grown can have great impacts on performance. For more information on this, as well as strategies to help mitigate this challenge, check out our resource through the link below.
Fall Care Reminders
Fall has arrived in Canada. Watching leaves show their colours and sometimes even waking up to frost decorating the last delicate rose blooms are beautiful reminders of the shifting of the seasons.
These cooler nights are perfect for naturally moving our roses toward winter dormancy. This means deadheading can cease. Also, remember that fall is not the time for pruning. These kind of cuts stimulate a rose to grow, but the goal at this time of year is to allow your roses to naturally harden off.
Give your pruners a rest until spring.
