Potted roses are quite popular gifts, after all they last significantly longer than an equally expensive bouquet of flowers. They are suitable as houseplants to a limited extent, but feel much more comfortable outdoors and last much longer there.
When and how should you plant potted roses?
Potted roses can be planted from late spring to the end of summer. Choose a bright, sunny location with well-drained soil. Loosen the roots, divide any cuttings and plant them individually. In winter, protect the plants from severe frost or move them to winter quarters.
When is the best time to plant out?

Therefore, the time from late spring to the end of summer is best. It is better to overwinter a potted rose that you bought late in a frost-free winter quarters.
Where does my potted rose feel most comfortable?
The potted rose would like to have a bright, sunny spot with well-drained soil. Put a little well-rotted compost (€43.00 on Amazon) or horse manure into the planting hole, then your potted rose will be optimally cared for for the first few weeks.
When you take your potted rose out of the pot, carefully loosen the old soil from the roots and loosen the roots slightly. Don't be surprised if the rose falls apart, there are probably several rose cuttings in the pot. The whole thing looks like a compact plant.
Carefully divide the cuttings and plant them individually. Beautiful and sometimes quite large roses can develop from them. Water the plant well and regularly in the future.
What do I do with my potted rose in winter?
A well-rooted potted rose can spend the winter outside in the garden, but may be damaged in severe frost. Pile up the soil around the individual roses and protect above-ground parts of the plant with pine branches or leaves. Remove winter protection around the end of March when frost subsides. If you live in a very rough area, then think about a suitable winter quarters.
