I LIVE IN mt AND RECENTL RESCUED 2 ROSES FROM AN untended parking lot-- because it is so late in the season I have put them both in a pail-- gravel in the bottom and the pail has a drainage hole. They are inside-- my question is: do I feed them just as I would other in-door plants or what?

Thanks-- JMC

Roses don't do well indoors at all. They had a better chance of surviving where they were in the parking lot.
sorry....

Yes, plant them in the ground. Container roses aren't as hardy as roses planted in the ground. I have no experience with your zone, but I'd advise you not to fertilize them until you see new growth in spring.

JMC,

It's great that you rescued those roses. Thumbs up

Hope they are already in the ground. Do you have some manure to cover and protect them from frost? You can throw a bag of manure on the roses. Manure is the best, but you can use compost, garden soil or leaves (e.g., oak leaves.) I usually cover mine after a couple of first frosts, when the temperature goes below -3C.

Good luck!

Jasmin,
Can you please tell me why manure is the best?
