Product knowledge & plant care
Rose Compost
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.
Details & background
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
The original pack
10 litres of ready-to-use growing medium. The full declaration is collected in the product information.
Details & background
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.
