- What is an own-root rose? An own-root rose is grown from a cutting taken directly from a stock plant. This means its roots are the exact same variety as the flowering top, making the plant more resilient and guaranteed to return true to its variety even after a harsh winter.
- How often should I fertilize my roses? For newly planted own-root roses, it is recommended to use a balanced liquid fertilizer (like Founders Fish Fertilizer) every 2–3 weeks during the active growing season to encourage strong roots and blooms.
- What is the best mulch for roses? A layer of 100% natural mint compost is highly recommended. It retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, reduces weeds, and naturally repels common pests like aphids and spider mites.
