Best bare-root roses to grow this year – our top five picks

Red climbing rose with peach coloured home behind with blue window frames.

When it comes to roses, opting to grow them from bare-root stock - bought without a pot and with no soil - is an economical and efficient way to build your collection. If you are considering rose garden ideas, or want to grow a selection of new and beautiful flowers this year, buying bare-root roses is certainly a good option. 

Available in a range of colors, from delicate pastels to dark reds, many with sublime scents, roses help to curate a romantic and timeless aesthetic in your backyard. It is hard to imagine, but come summer, the gnarled and twisted rootstock that you can pick up from a garden store will transform with shoots of green foliage and masses of brilliant blooms.
