Why Fall Plant Roses?
Did you know that just a few decades back about 95% of roses bushes sold were planted in fall and winter? The reasons are obvious.
- Fall planted roses are busy plants! They spend our mild coastal BC winters growing feeder roots that establish the plant and improve next seasons growth.
- You can buy more roses with the same BUCK! Fall container roses are often on sale, and true bare-root roses are less expensive than potted spring roses, since we don't have to buy pots and soil for them.
- You get to enjoy winter looking at your dormant roses and knowing they will bounce into growth when spring arrives!
- Fall roses have better growth, more disease resistant foliage in the first year and often more and larger flowers.
- You can buy more roses with the same BUCK! Fall container roses are often on sale, and true bare-root roses are less expensive than potted spring roses, since we don't have to buy pots and soil for them.
- You save loads of time chasing after hoses and watering roses since mother nature is doing that work for you.
