Catalog: Shrub RosesThe classification, Shrub Rose, is used to categorize a wide variety of roses that just don't seem to fit anywhere else. We've selected some of the best Shrub roses available for cold-climate gardening. Plants are shipped bareroot (no soil or pot) and dormant (no foliage) from early April to mid May.
Roses need sun (at least 6 hours daily); well-drained, fertile soil; and consistent and adequate soil moisture to thrive and produce the most blossoms. Learn more about growing roses: What's a "bareroot" plant?
Bareroot plants are easy to grow. We include planting instructions with your order. When you receive your plant, take it out of the packing material and place it in a bucket of water so that the roots are completely covered. Let the roots soak for 4 to 24 hours, then plant it in your garden. Full planting instructions with photos are available on our Planting Roses page. |
"Bareroot"
is a term that describes how a plant is shipped to you. A bareroot
plant is not in a pot, and is usually dormant (not actively growing).
See the photo to the right that shows what a bareroot rose looks
like. The bareroot plants that we ship to you were harvested in
the fall and placed in cold storage over the winter to keep them
dormant. In the spring, we ship the bareroot plants to our customers,
from early April through mid May.
