Rose Compost
A container rose needs room for its roots and a secure place for its canes. This ready-to-use rose compost combines organic and mineral ingredients with an initial nutrient supply.
Consider the root zone and plant together
Check the root ball and pot
Fresh growing medium fills the free space around the existing root ball. Match the container and drainage to the plant.
Handle roots carefully
After 4–6 weeks assess supplementary feeding according to the label and plant requirements; account for initial nutrients.

For your growing space
A new place to grow
Beside a bench or a small arch, roses bring flowers close to everyday life. A sufficiently large container and the right cultivar make care easier than frequent pot changes.
A container rose needs room for its roots and a secure place for its canes. This ready-to-use rose compost combines organic and mineral ingredients with an initial nutrient supply.
Ready to use for potting and planting rose-family plants in containers. The label specifies use only in growing systems separated from the ground.
Before repotting
Prepare the pot, work surface and tools before opening the compost. For a container-grown rose, allow for the space around its existing root ball. A bare-root rose needs its own planting preparation.
Repotting: the complete process
A closer look at the structure
Raised-bog peat H3–H8; forestry-derived plant materials (wood fibre, bark humus); rock (lava); raw clay; sand; perlite; calcium carbonate; NPK fertiliser.
These eight steps show repotting an already rooted plant.
-
Check the plant and need
Inspect the root ball, compost and water uptake. Allow only the additional root space actually needed.
-
Choose a suitable container
Choose a stable pot with clear drainage holes. Consider mature plant size and the available space.
-
Prepare the workspace
Prepare a clean surface and tools, and loosen the compost. Keep drainage holes open; a thick gravel layer is not a universal requirement.
-
Remove the plant from its pot
Gently release the root ball from its old container. First assess persistent wetness, odour and damaged roots.
-
Check the root ball
Gently loosen loose outer compost and remove dead parts selectively. Do not heavily prune healthy roots without a reason.
-
Set planting depth
Set planting depth and any graft union according to the particular rose, rather than using only the pot rim as a guide.
-
Fill and water in
Water in thoroughly, check drainage and monitor moisture in the original root ball over the following days.
-
Support establishment
After 4–6 weeks assess supplementary feeding according to the label and plant requirements; account for initial nutrients.
After repotting
After 4–6 weeks assess supplementary feeding according to the label and plant requirements; account for initial nutrients.
