Red roses have long symbolized passion and devotion. While Valentine's bouquets fill shops in February, outdoor rose bushes appear dormant and bare during winter. Yet with a little patience and care, these same shrubs will transform into vibrant blooms come summer—perfect for gifting freshly cut roses straight from your own garden.

Best Time to Plant Red Roses

Winter is an ideal season to introduce new rose plants into the garden—especially bare-root varieties, which are shipped dormant and leafless. As long as the soil isn’t frozen, they can be planted with great success. These bare-root specimens are not only more economical than potted versions but also tend to adapt better once planted. However, roses in containers can be planted throughout the year if well cared for.
If immediate planting isn’t possible, keep bare-root roses in a cool, frost-free place and ensure the roots remain slightly moist. When you’re ready, enrich the planting area with compost or decomposed manure to give your rose a strong start.
