Bareroot vs. Potted

Getting started with bareroot roses -- click to order
Nearly Wild is a compact floribunda and landscape rose. It is a hardy, disease -resistant rose that blooms heavily and repeatedly.

Bareroot roses are grown in fields and dug out in the fall of each year, when they are placed in cold storage, and then shipped to you. Some people prefer to buy their roses already potted, but you will find some big advantages to purchasing bareroot roses.

The Advantages of Bareroot Roses

  1. You get a much wider selection of roses by mail than you can find in any one nursery. We feature over 1000 varieties of roses in our catalog.
  2. You can plant as early as February in some zones, allowing the roots to get well established before the growing season.
  3. You get better first-year growth and better quality roses.

If you do choose to wait to buy roses in the store that are already in soil, remember that you are buying what is basically a bareroot rose in disguise.

Planting bareroot roses is an easy task for the average gardener.
