Plant roses

If it was not possible to plant in the fall, now is a suitable time to plant new roses in early spring. Especially for bare-root roses - those that are supplied without a root ball - the planting times must be observed in the fall (about mid-October to mid-December) or in the spring (about mid-March to late April).

In order for roses to remain healthy and vigorous and for the remontant varieties to show good post-blooming in the fall, they now need a strong top-up fertilization after the first flush of flowers in June.

In autumn there is still some work to be done in the rose bed: To protect the grafting site from severe frosts, mounding is done and, where necessary, long shoots are shortened somewhat.
