If the new roses are potted you can put them in now. Just water well. Good luck!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Right now my weather condition is too hot still 95Up..
Before I transplant two roses to the ground, they get wilted and dried the next 2 days

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>I saw from the FB group and from some article online,
That’s what the “expert” said

That’s why I’m here,
Just wanted to make sure

In Victorville the soil is poor and rocky isn’t it? I would suggest you dig a very large hole and mix in some good compost with existing soil before planting. Then when you water it should soak in nicely and they should be happy. Just don’t let them get dried out after planting. I had some roses put straight in the ground in small holes that were dug the same size as the pot last fall by landscapers and then a month later I bought more roses and dug a big hole at least 2 feet deep and 2.5 feet wide and removed half the soil and put it elsewhere. Then I replaced the removed soil with very aged chicken manure that I had sitting under my house for 12 months. Those roses were MUCH MUCH happier than the ones put into little holes without amendments. I would not recommend that much chicken manure if it is freshly purchased though, since it could be too fresh and cause burned roots and leaves. Look for a good quality compost to mix in with the soil and just a few handfuls of fresher chicken manure. This spring I will be spreading a half bag of chicken manure around the base of each rose. And immediately buy more to sit under the house for another year. However, if you have dogs don’t use manure at all just compost, since I hear from others on this forum that dogs love to dig up manure like smells and will dig up the roses.

Elen:

Can you kindly post the expert advice you received from facebook and the online article, verbatim, here, for all to read?

thank you

I would also shade them for a couple of days after transplanting in August. A beach umbrella, or a chair work fine

In your case it would probably be best to place the potted plants near a convenient water source and where the sun will not bake the pots for the rest of the summer, wait until you can plant them properly in November:

One additional thing. Water the plants thoroughly before you transplant, as well as after.

Embothrium, Thanks for the planting link. There are some really good tips in there about how to dig out the hole especially the part about making it wider than deep. I grew up in Seattle and the soil in most places in Western Washington is rich and wonderful.

So I would caution Elen that this planting instruction is provided by Washington State University’s Puyallup Extension (just South of Seattle), primarily for people living in that area, and so the part about not amending and backfilling with their pure rich native soil makes perfect sense there. Western Washington has rich wonderful soil perfect for growing roses.

Elen, I am currently living and gardening very close to you just on the other side of the mountains and at 2000 feet. My garden is newly started and my native soil is extremely nutrient poor with zero organic matter. It only really wants to grow sagebrush without help. Victorville is high desert so you likely have even worse soil than mine with a higher pH and it may never support a thriving rose without significant organic amendments, or alternatively, feeding with a dilute liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season, every couple of weeks or so. The growing season for me starts about February 1st and goes to end of July. Then the roses rest in the heat of summer and start blooming beginning of October to mid December. Then the roses here rest mid December through end of January. I have been observing the roses growing at Huntington and Descanso for 6 years before I started my own garden. You will probably have a longer winter rest and slightly longer summer rest, since you are both a bit colder and hotter than me. But there are basically two growing/blooming seasons here each year. During the growing season, I have been feeding each of my roses with 1 Tablespoon of Miracle Grow, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chelated iron and 1-2 Tablespoons Magnesium Sulfate (ie. Epsom Salts) mixed into 2 gallons of water every 2 weeks since all my roses planted without amendments were getting severe chlorosis. I also keep them on a drip system that slowly gives each rose about 10 gallons of water every 5 days in the summer and keeps the soil deeply moist directly under them. I am going to be doing soil amendments by top dressing with organics at the start of each growing season for the foreseeable future. The organics I plan to use are compost, alfalfa pellets, worm castings, aged chicken manure. Plus I save vegetable scraps and egg shells in bags in my freezer to thaw, blend and pour around the rosebush. The kitchen scrap tip came from one of the posters on this forum :-) and I don’t have pets that would think any of these amendments are delicious. In this way I hope to build an organic rich soil over time and hopefully lessen the need to fertilizer ~30 roses by hand every two weeks. Maybe with better soil I will just need to fertilize once a month during the growing season....time will tell. I am still experimenting and learning so much especially from others growing roses in Southern California. So much helpful advice on this forum :-)

I wouldn’t transplant them until the temperature go down like 70-80
Because, I had a bad experience transplanted plant in July-August
When the weather get hot.., it’s burn and wilted after that dried and died

Embothrium, again, thank you for your advice.. I Will Embro!! ❤️

Agree.

If you are careful, and do not disturb the root ball when you make the transplant, they should be fine. They probably would be very happy to get out of those small nursery pots! Once planted keep them well watered, but not soggy wet until you see new growth start.. I never heard that you can't plant while a rose is blooming. I do it all the time.

Agree.
