Bare root roses are one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to grow a beautiful garden. Because they arrive dormant and without soil, they’re easy to handle, cost-effective, and quick to plant.

Once in the ground, they establish roots fast and often grow stronger over time. They’re a great option if you’re reworking a garden bed, starting fresh, or looking for quality roses at a reasonable price.

All of our roses are grown at our nursery in Adelaide and shipped across Australia at the ideal time for planting. They reach you strong and ready to thrive.

How to Grow Bare Root Roses in Australia

Bare root roses are easy to grow when you get the timing and setup right.

• Pick a sunny position that receives at least six hours of direct light each day. Morning sun helps dry leaves quickly, cutting down the risk of fungal disease.
• Prepare the soil well. Loamy, free-draining ground mixed with compost works best. For heavy clay, dig in gypsum and extra organic matter to loosen and enrich the bed.
• Plant carefully in the ground. Dig a wide hole, spread the roots over a small cone of soil, back-fill gently, and water deeply to settle everything in place.
• If you want to grow your rose in a container, select a large pot with good drainage, fill with premium rose mix, and keep the crown at soil level for best results.

Be sure to time it right for your climate. In cooler states, plant in winter or early spring. Further north, aim for late autumn to early winter, so the new roots can establish before summer.

How to Care for Bare Root Roses

Once planted, bare root roses only need very minimal care to keep blooming beautifully.

• Water deeply and consistently, especially during the first growing season. Steady moisture helps the roots settle in and grow strong.
• Add mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Just keep it a few centimetres away from the stem to prevent rot.
• Feed with a balanced fertiliser once you see new growth. Reapply during the season to support flowering and overall plant health.
• Prune in winter to remove dead or damaged wood and encourage better airflow.
• Keep an eye out for pests or disease, particularly during warm, humid periods.
