Caring for own-root roses in spring – tasks – PharmaRosa®

Spring timetable: a fast, reliable start

Spring decides the season: early spring pruning, planting, starter feed, refreshing the mulch and setting up a good watering regime. On this page you get a short timetable month by month (March–May) for private gardens, pots and public spaces, with links to detailed operation guides. Are you starting with pruning, planning to plant, or do you want to quickly boost your existing roses?

Main spring tasks

  • Pruning: early spring, before bud burst – timing.
  • Planting: bare-root now, potted any time when frost-free – steps.
  • Starter feed: CRF into the soil, then water in well – protocol.
  • Mulch: refresh to 5–8 cm; a 3–5 cm ring around the stem – guide.
  • Watering: adjust to the weather; avoid wetting the foliage – principles.

FAQ

What if spring is late?
Carry out the main pruning before bud burst; in persistently cold weather, delay it. Planting with container plants can be done whenever the weather is frost-free.
When should I put out roses that have overwintered in pots?
Gradually, once the risk of frost returning has passed; first in partial shade, then in full sun – spring unpacking.
