I wouldn’t say those bagged bare root roses have high failure rates. I’ve bought many bagged bare root roses, probably around 20, and have none die. What I do is after removing the rose from the bag and pine shavings, I soak the roots of the rose in a bucket of water in a shaded area for a few hours. Then after planting, you’re supposed to water it every few days if it doesn’t rain, until it establishes itself. Around a few weeks. Then you can reduce the watering. I plant mine with the graft above ground since I live in a warmer area. But I’ve heard people say that cold areas should plant the graft union under the soil.
beautifully explained.. I got a couple of true bloom bagged roses recently from Costco that had leaves and planted them in my front yard... I guess I made the mistake of planting them while it was still cold outside. :( They've been out there for a couple weeks now.. the stems are green but I can see that the plant is struggling. I hope the weather warms up so that they have some chance to bounce back.
Planting it outside was the best decision. I say just keep an eye on it and remember to keep it nicely hydrated! Maybe feed it a little natural compost for a little boost ❤️
In the video, The rose on the arbor is 3 years old. I planted it in the spring of 2020 as a potted plant. It was likely a first year potted plant from bare root. Most of those picture were taken in 2023. By 2022, it was a little less than halfway up the arbor. Last year (2023) it was about 3/4th of the way up the arbor but then the one on the left died due to septic work nearby that nicked both of their roots a lots. That couple with a drought was a perfect storm that killed it. The one on the right almost died. This is all to say that I expect it will be another few years before I see them as big as they once were.
It’s all about proper rose care. I bought my earth angel last year and it’s about the size of this lady’s rose. Remember, granular/liquid fertilizer, or organic ones if able, specifically cow manure. Bonus advice you can also fertilize with alfalfa or bone meal. Those two will be loved by your plants. Don’t forget to often water your roses They become really thirsty especially on hot climates. I was forgetting something extremely important, always plant your roses where they’ll receive 6hrs of sun. I hope this helps 😊
I bet it will. Despite many people calling climbing Eden a repeat bloomer. It is not. It is a once bloomer for like a month in early spring. The confusion is because it it does shoot out a few random blooms here and there throughout the rest of the season but nothing substantial. I imagine that one reason yours didn’t bloom first year is because by the time it got going, it had missed the ideal time in the early spring for it to send out that wonderful flush of blooms.
I expect it will. My experience with once blooming roses, which Eden essentially is, is that they tend to miss their window to bloom in the early spring if planted barefoot in late winter. Perhaps because they don’t get rooted and established in time? Maybe! But it should be nice and rooted now that’s it been in the ground a year and ready to give you a show this spring.

Loved this! Looking forward to the update video. I got an Eden last year anc she had two blooms, hopefully there are more this year .
I bought Eden climber in 2/2024 at Lowe’s exact like yours. Now, 2 months later, it has several buds already.so exciting!!

How long did it take your Eden rose to get to a size to cover your arbor....how old is your rose on the arbor

My Eden climber did not flower on the 1st year

I’ve been hunting for an Eden climber. Which box store did you find and location?
It was Lowes. Good luck
