Growing Roses in Triple Digit Temperatures - AZ 9B

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- I'm growing 21 rose varieties in the Phoenix AZ area. Some are as new as 2 months in the ground and others as old as 6 years in the ground. I share tips for caring for them when we enter Summer heat with 100+ degree highs.
On fertilizer, please do NOT use a product like Bayer that include pesticides like imidacloprid (neonicotinoidas) that kill/harm bees and other wildlife. An organic certified fertilizer brand is the best choice along with using an organic pest control like neem oil only as needed to control aphids.
My full plant list is here, including a tab of the roses I grow: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... - บันเทิง
This is the most informative video I've ever watched about growing roses in AZ. Your voice is so gentle and kind as you explain the planting and growing process of these beautiful roses that you've grown. You've inspired me beyond explanation to start a rose garden for the first time. I do have a rustic style garden yet I think adding roses to my garden would be absolutely colorful as well as beautiful. Thank you for your wonderful video. May you continue to be blessed.🌹
Thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement! Happy gardening!
I hope you post update videos of your roses this 2023 summer, fall and winter. Always looking forward to your videos very inspiring and educational. Thank you!!!
Thanks! It was a rough summer this year but I recently cut them back and they are pushing new growth and looking lush again.
Finally! I’ve been searching for an in depth Arizona-specific rose care video. This was very helpful. Thank you’
Wonderful video with lots of informations💐
I live in Chandler. This gives me so much hope. Thank you so much! The excel sheet is amazing!
Thank you so much from southern Califprnia 9b!
Wow, beautiful. Loved the 'wedding bells', 'Monica,' and 'peoples' princess.' I have a 'Just Joey' with a battle-scarred trunk, a 20 yr. old. You have great patience; I complain with just the one rose tree of pruning and the thorns. btw Deane is another bot--guess they like flowers too. Thanks so much for the rose tour!
Excellent video for low desert rose care!
You always have the most informative videos. Thanks.
Thank yo so much for this information! I also live in the desert and haven't had much luck growing roses as others here have.
Great info. Thank you. Beautiful roses!
Excellent roses
I was looking at your list in documents but I only see about your fig trees, I only have two rose bushes, but I really envy yours, my roses are red and on the same day they wilt, but you only have two months.
Thanks! There are multiple tabs at the bottom.
I’m in Ca inland so hot and dry. Once established roses are actually pretty drought tolerant. I mulch heavily with arborist wood chips and don’t really need to fertilize as a result.
Hi Natasha... love roses and frangipanis. I thought you might have mentioned more on fragrance but may be the fragrance is also better in Fall and Winter. I had a gr8 spring flush this year. Probably late winter rain.
Hi! I focused more on care on this video..many have contacted me thinking roses cannot be grown here in the Phoenix area or are struggling with them in high heat wanting guidance. However, I have recently added a rose tab to my plant list that shows the variety and the fragrance level along with color...the reds win in the fragrance category. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BeyC1NwMzLaGeD2JSfAWIxAxxzEoc0IVFXF0PQzrsNs/edit?usp=sharing
Enlightenment Garden ... many thanks
Oh these are wonderful! Love the colors and varieties! I need these in my yard in SCWest! Do you have any hibiscuses in your yard? I am looking for color and tropical design in my yard and looking to you for advice please? Can these go around a pool? Love your postings and info.....Thank you!
Thanks! Hybrid tea roses are well worth it. I have grown hibiscus here and they thrive in warm climates but would also highly recommend canna lilies for a splash of color and tropical flair and gardenia for a fragrant ground cover
Your roses are phenomenal! I was wondering: do you have a favorite red rose in your garden? I'm trying to find one that has a strong, lovely fragrance, lots of blooms, and with an attractive bush-form. I noticed you have Lincoln, Chrysler, Ingrid Bergman, Firefighter, and Lasting Love -- any thoughts on those? Thanks for any help you can provide!
Thanks! I just added Oaklahoma which is also doing great and smells incredible. If I had to pick one, it would be Chrysler Imperial. Incredible deep fragrance, nice form and good disease resistance.
Thank you for making this video. I am new to Roses, and gardening. I am also in 9b (Florida) . How often should i be feeding the roses. TIA
You are welcome! The frequency depends on the fertilizer you opt to use. If using fish fertilizer or water soluble food, every 2 weeks will keep them in constant supply during the growing season. If using organic dry material like rose tone, every 4-6 weeks during the growing season is best. Alfalfa pellets take about 6-8 weeks to break down if you go that route.
Thank you for educating us on how to care for roses. You provide better information on maintenance than other youtube sites. If you water the leaf in the evening would it burn when the morning comes from the extreme heat? So you water twice a day around what time? If the roses are about 3-4ft high how many gallons would they need? Thank you
Thanks! The leaves dry almost immediately after wetting them at night in our heat so there is no worry about water remaining the next day. On watering, a lot depends on your soil drainage and mulch layer. I have fast-draining soil for my rose plantings, so twice a day around 6AM and 3PM has worked well in the past to keep my rose bushes hydrated. My 3-4' rose bushes are mature and get about 3-4 gallons of water a day as they are in full sun and need it due to all the water loss due to transpiration.
Thanks so much! I'm an old Gardner yet in Tucson have never tried roses! I'll wait until fall to begin yet I have to ask if our temps are too high for container roses?
You are welcome! As long as your container is in the shade for the afternoon during summer it will do just fine. Otherwise in full sun all day, I find that the sun is just too intense and will cook the roots and dry out the media too fast.
I'm starting my rose bushes started this weekend and my question is if my yard is mostly sand from living in El paso desert. How do I get the dirt ready for planting? Also how far apart should I plant my roses?
Sandy soil will be great for drainage but can leave the roses thirsty if it's too well draining. I'd recommend amending the sandy soil in the planting hole with 1/4 to 1/3 vermiculite to help retain moisture and top dress with compost and mulch. I plant 3' apart so they get adequate air flow.
Thank you so much for sharing your information in Excel. I'm new to gardening in Gilbert, would you happen to have a list of vegetable varieties that do well here also?
Villardi Gardens is local and she grows and sells vegetables that do well in our climate and sells them at the optimum times to plant them unlike other growers. They'll even deliver to your door if you order online. That's where I get my starts. www.vilardigardens.com/
@@EnlightenmentGarden The one item I am having trouble with is picking the right variety of tomato. Her site only has tomatillo and purple tomatoes. I will try one of the nurseries she sells at. I went to A&P and they were helpful, but I didn't have a yield so far this year or last on the plants I bought. Everything is producing. Squash, watermelon, peppers, etc., just no tomatoes. I may have too many in one pot. I cut one out today. We'll see what happens.
Very helpful thank you! Just wondering, how did you learn so much about growing plants ?
You are welcome! I learned from other gardeners in the area, but mostly from trial and error.
Can you the list where you buy these roses? Im living in Asia and its hard to find where to buy them. Thank you so much.
My list is in the video description link under the rose tab. I'm not sure if they ship Internationally but will provide where I purchased them from in the states.
i am in the gilbert/ QC area and just got into roses this year and bought eleven roses in feb. mostly bare root. ( your videos inspired me ). Its a new build that had all dirt.... so a blank canvas. I am STRUGGLING with setting my timers on my drip system. I have them
going off at 6 am and 3 pm for seven minutes with the little red one gallon tips. Ifeel like the ground is always damp...... BUT everything is alive. any suggestions? I’m so afraid of root rot. Im freaking out about the heat the last week and have also been misting them at night ..... to cool them down. Thoughts about that ?
Watering is a complex topic--I tried to cover it in this video last year--th-cam.com/video/YCPZ1xEVVCg/w-d-xo.html I don't think your roses will get enough water if you are only dropping 1/5 of a gallon a day in this heat. At that rate, the water is superficial and not going deep to help promote rooting. Root rot is not much of a concern in this climate. That can happen on banana, plumeria and other tropicals that hate wet feet but not roses. If your drainage is poor and water is standing--that is an issue. I would suggest amending with fast acting gypsum to break up the clay. Just water it into your plantings. Also if you have not already mulched the top soil, I highly suggest buying some composted mulch and adding on top. That will keep the roots cooler, retrain moisture and help condition the soil.
@@EnlightenmentGardenThank you for the suggestions. I am going to turn up the drip times. I amended the soil when I planted them and added mulch last weekend. I guess I've done all I can do!!!
I'm first timer so thanks for educating me about roses, definitely planting some, but what should the length of the container should be?
I would plan on giving a rose a 3' - 4' spacing when planting in the ground. If you are asking about container growing, you will need to up the container size as the plant grows. Most roses sold at a nursery are between 1 - 3 gallons. Once mature, a 15 or 20-gallon container should be sufficient. The rose will need 50% shade if grown in a container in the summer if you live in a hot climate like Phoenix. And they would prefer afternoon shade even if grown in the ground in our summers to prevent leaf burn. Hope that helps and happy growing!
@EnlightenmentGarden thanks, I live in a really hot climate currently, and I'm planning on planting roses that can endure the heat like desert rose in a container.
I'm in 9b Northern Ca. I'm experimenting with trying to shade plants in afternoon with butterfly bush, small potted trees. Any experience with this? I assume, if so, it didnt work out since you're not doing it now. Your South African varieties are beautiful. I'm making a list
Hi! For the roses, I have never interplanted anything with them and have them spaced fairly tight at about 4' apart but that's definitely a good strategy for shade. I employ shade plants in other areas of the yard like Mexican sunflower, almond bush, and even curry leef tree. Anything that can take and flourish in full sun would be good as long as the roots are not aggressive and won't compete with the rose bush. Hope that helps!
I'm a beginner in this field. Could you please advise some names of the roses that can sustain the weather in Phoenix AZ that I can buy? Thank you.
There is a rose tab in my plant list so you can see the varieties I am personally growing docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BeyC1NwMzLaGeD2JSfAWIxAxxzEoc0IVFXF0PQzrsNs/edit?usp=sharing. Mr. Lincoln is a solid choice to start with and you can usually find it at the big box stores or at Berridge nursery in Phoenix
@@EnlightenmentGarden Thank you very much for sharing your list. I had always thought roses cannot stand the heat in Phoenix in summer. You video has inspired me. I’ve watched two of your videos and will watch more. I’ve learned a lot from you! ❤❤❤❤
Where do you get your pine mulch?
Richard's Garden Center in Phoenix. It's the best mulch!
I live in the Central Valley, California, where it's between 110-116 June-October. Very hot summers and little rain. Do you continue to fertilize during the hottest months, or do let them go dormant then? I have over a hundred rose bushes. Surprisingly, my David Austin "Jude the Obscure" loves the heat. It is the most fragrant rose that I have ever smelled and also quite beautiful. Give it a try!
Wow--over 100 roses! Thanks for the suggestion! Sounds like we have similar weather. I continue to feed my roses in the summer in general.
@@EnlightenmentGarden Thanks
where is the plant store that you mentioned in phoenix valley area ? borage ?
Berridge Nursery is located on Camelback Road.
❤u are a great gardener😊 l lost 3D cut flower rose last April due to a heatwave hitting Malaysia while my other roses suffered too & went semi' - dormant for survival.
How is your roses under the Mid-west heatwave?
Thank you and sorry to hear you lost a rose. This year has been fairly normal with our highs. Hopefully, we get a break in between 110s this month. I'm watering extra early in the morning before sunrise and everything is looking good so far.
@@EnlightenmentGarden ...good for ya :) my friend will buy # Perfume Delight after seeing your garden. Her place is near the sea i.e triple digits zone too :)
What's the best smelling Rose 🌹 here in AZ ?
I love the smell of Iceburg but I am looking for a Hybrid Tea .
My absolute favorite for an intense fragrance is Mr. Lincoln. It never disappoints.
@EnlightenmentGarden Do you happen to know any pastel colored sweet smelling cut roses ?
My garden is Iceburg whites
Pink Dawn Lantana Pastels
-
White Gazanias with buttery yellow inner petals-
Star Jasmine
Arbian Jasmine tree 🌳
Arbian Lilac Tree pastel lavender flowers 🪻
I try to keep my yard Moongarden with whites or cool it down with pastels -
Also have a Texas Mounatin Laurel smells so good during Spring -
🌸
@@LaurennR Sounds lovely! Perhaps Blue Girl?
any luck propagating these in phoenix ?
Roses? I've never tried but they are easy to root based on what I've seen from other garden channels. If interested, check out www.youtube.com/@MikeKincaid79/videos
@Enlightenment Garden thank you. Been trying months.
What side or directions are your roses facing? Are they exposed to afternoon sun? South west facing?
Yes; they get afternoon sun. They are planted near my south-west wall so they get blasted at the end of the day. If located in the Phoenix area, I would suggest a location that does not provide direct afternoon sun as it's a little too much UV than they would like with our extreme heat and it takes consistent watering to keep them from scorching
@@EnlightenmentGarden thank you! Your video is very helpful to a beginner like me. Just moved to a new build here in Queen Creek and im starting on a blank canvass and my house is north facing. The afternoon western sun is brutal in west side yard but im thinking maybe can plant roses in the eastern south section so they can get some shade in the afternoon. Thanks for your video!
@@hannahrodero-ortega4025 You are welcome! I would also suggest planting a shade tree on your west side if you have the space to shade the area to the east. Look into Tipuana tipu. It's a beautiful nearly evergreen tree that produces yellow blooms, gorgeous foilage for great shade, and can handle the central Phoenix heat. It can tap into the water table eventually and won't require too much water once established. Hope that helps.
