        Bare root roses are dormant plants and can be planted November and April.

        Potted roses are available all year round and can be planted at any time of the year.

        Aside from extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year. The extreme weather conditions that we advise against planting in are when the ground is frozen, water-logged or during a drought.
