How to Grow Healthy Roses in Pots A Masterclass for Thriving Potted Roses

If you’ve ever grown roses in pots and found them weak, lacklustre or constantly struggling — this video is for you.

In this masterclass, I take you step-by-step through how I grow strong, healthy, disease-resistant roses in containers — and why most potted roses fail.

We cover:

🌱 Why compost alone isn’t enough
🌱 The importance of loam and clay
🌱 Cation exchange capacity explained simply
🌱 How clay holds onto essential nutrients
🌱 Why nutrients wash out of compost only potting medium
🌱 The role of soil biology and microbes
🌱 Mycorrhizal fungi and root extension
🌱 Feeding from above with organic matter
🌱 Long-term health vs short-term feeding

This isn’t just about feeding your roses — it’s about building a living soil system inside your pot.

Once you understand how soil chemistry and biology work together, everything changes.
