Polyantha Rose - Gold Glow, bare rootball by Jamieson Brothers

 Working with our suppliers we have come together to bring you bare root balls for Spring planting, adding Summer colour to your garden.

Polyantha roses are a class of very hardy roses that produce dense bunches of tiny blossoms.

This bare rose root ball produces a beautiful yellow rose.

Bare root roses are best planted between October and April, as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged.

After removing the root ball from the packaging, loosen off the soil around the root ball and place in a bucket of water so that the roots can have a good drink.

Dig over your garden using a fork to remove any large stones and weeds so that the rose roots have plenty of space to grow without any competition, dig a hole big enough to place the root ball into approx. 30cm by 30cm. Fork in some well-rotted manure or other fertiliser into the base of the hole. Place the roots into the hole, at this point you may want to add some Mycorrhizal Fungi to encourage the roots to grow quickly.

Place the root ball in to the hole leaving about 5cm from the stem base to the top of the hole. The removed soil can now be placed back into the hole around the root ball. Lightly press the soil with you foot around the root ball. Remove any extra shoots, so all the plants energy goes into the roots until they are established.

Water the rose well.

Roses grow in most soils and prefer a sunny position but not direct afternoon sun.
