Received free rose seeds from you, how should I plant? Thank you
I was not aware that Gardening Know How sent out free rose seeds? First of all, verify that GKH actually sent them to you and that they are for sure rose seeds. There are many scams out there involving rose seeds and the seeds turn out to be either small clumps of organic matter or some other type of seeds. If they are truly rose seeds, check out this article: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/growing-roses-from-seed.htm
When is the best time to take cuttings for my rose climber? I'm not quite sure. Pete many thanks
Spring is the ideal time for cuttings. Look for new, green stems.

Bone meal is helpful for roses, in a pot I would used two tablespoons and mix into the soils well. Here is a link to any article on planting rosebushes: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/bare-root-roses.htm
In the fall, two of my rose bushes started to lose their leaves. Branches were ok and new sprouts grew and started to flower but then leaves were gone again. I treated the as always with Bayer advanced rose and flower stuff that you put on the roots. They have continued to loose all of their leaves. I want my bushes to sprout in the spring but am afraid to cut back. What is causing this and How do I save my roses? I have looked but have not seen worms or bugs. Please help if you can.
The most common causes of leaf drop are incorrect watering and excessive heat, particularly at night. With heat stress the plant goes dormant to conserve moisture and energy. If this is the case, it should rebound quickly when temps return to normal. Overwatering will lead to root rot so make sure the top 2 inches of soil are dry become giving your rose a deep watering. Lastly, check for spider mites. They can be hard to detect so look up pictures so you'll know what to look for. They are most evident on the underside of leaves. I'm assuming the leaves look normal before dropping. If you are seeing evidence of foliar disease, please repost with a picture of the infected leaves and plant.
What eats all of the leaves off my rose bushes without being seen and what how can I save my roses?
If you have deer or elk in your area, then they can be the culprits. They will usually return though and decimate the canes as well! Using products such as Deer Scat! can help. It could also be night feeding worms. Using a systemic application such as Bayer Tree and Shrub granules works wonders. Apply the granular product per the label directions for ornamental shrubs. You can also spray an insecticidal spray on any remaining foliage to help protect it while the granules treatment kicks in. Hang in there, I know this is frustrating....

Hi dears, I try to make new roses from rose stems. Picture 1 shows that the stem has grown from 3 points which makes me happy, however, I don't know why after some days they all whiter, as you can see my another pot in picture 2. I live in Toronto which is very cold now, but I am treating my pots in plastic bags and in my own room! I leave a small part of the zippers open for air though Awaiting your reply .......Thanks: Hamid
Once leaves emerge from the cane, remove the plastic bag. The high humidity needed while the plant forms its first roots becomes a liability. Frankly, you also need a pots with drainage holes. It will be very easy to overwater with your current set-up which will cause root rot and result in leaf kill. Since establishing roots is the most important thing in starting a plant from cuttings, loose soil is vital. I would add extra sand or perlite to regular potting mix.
