Three Reasons Why December Is The Perfect Time To Order Your Bare Root Rose

Bare root roses aren’t as intimidating as they sound;  they are simply the root system of the rose without any soil or compost around it.

December is the perfect time to plant a bare-root rose. Below, our Rosarians explain why.

Planting In December Gives The Roots Time To Establish

December is one of the best months of the year to plant your bare root rose because the ground is cold, which means the rose will stay dormant for a couple of months after it has been planted.

This allows the rose to put all of its energy into establishing strong roots before the flowering season.

You Can Order A Rare Rose While They’re In Stock

Choosing a bare root rose allows you to grow unique and rare roses that we don’t sell in pots, such as the beautiful Irene R, that is pictured here.

For this reason, buying a bare root now means you can order one of these unique roses while we have them in stock.

You Can Make The Most Of Our Bundle Offers For Larger Garden Projects

Bare roots are the more affordable option when buying roses in bulk and they are easy to transport. 

This makes them the perfect choice for anyone working on bigger gardening projects, such as using roses for hedging, which will need to be planted before the weather warms up.
