  • Healthy soil is the key to healthy plants, especially when it comes to roses. This soil blend was specifically formulated without any granular fertilizers to help keep your own-root roses happy while they get established and prevent root burn that can occur from other commercial potting soils. We call this blend Living Soil because it contains beneficial microbes called Endomycorrhizae, which help aid in transferring nutrients from the soil to the roots of your plant. Heirloom Roses Living Soil provides the building blocks for strong root development, which leads to vigorous, high-producing, and disease-resistant plants. Use as you would any other potting soil.

    We do still recommend planting with our Heirloom Roses Bone Meal and Heirloom Roses Aged Cow Manure to add additional nutrients for the roses. Since this product does not contain an added fertilizer, the roses and other plants will still need to be fertilized regularly according to specific care instructions.

    This product can be mixed with native soil or any other potting soil that does not contain an added granular fertilizer. One 26 quart box covers 25 sq. ft at 0.5" thick and will fill about two 3-gallon containers. Use the 1.5-quart bag to refresh your potted plants by simply mixing the entire bag into the topsoil and watering well.

    Large size ships free.

Why Enhancing Your Soil Matters

1

Drainage

Healthy soil lets roots breathe. Amending clay loosens compaction, preventing waterlogging and disease — giving plants a stronger start and longer life.

Nutrition

Loamy soil starts ideal but breaks down without care. Light, regular amendments keep its structure intact, feeding plants and sustaining blooms year after year.

Protection

Silty soils crust, compact, and erode easily. Organic matter and cover reduce runoff, protect topsoil, and anchor nutrients where roots need them.

Boost for My Soil

The soil in my backyard in North Carolina is sandy, even though I live in the foothills, far from the coast. I have used living soil with every rose planted in the ground, as well as those grown in pots. My newly planted roses are doing well.

Potting Soil Excellence

I bought the soil to give our new rose the best start possible. The results have been incredible as the new rose has sprouted a lot of new leaves and growth. Based on the results, we recommend this soil for any new rose plantings.

Very impressed

After placing an order for rose bushes I needed to change their arrival date. The window for such change seemed short, yet we contacted and there was a prompt, and most helpful response. For once in my life I experienced the courtesies one would experience from the type of business that had existed for centuries! Thousand words are not necessary for the quality of your service. It is Excellent! Excellent!! Excellent!!!
