Diese Rose gehört meiner Oma und ihr Haus wurde gerade verkauft, also habe ich sie ausgegraben und in einen großen Topf mit Kompost gegeben. Es war eng mit Beton umgeben, so dass ich leider ziemlich nah an den Wurzeln graben musste, um es aus dem Boden zu holen, aber es gelang mir, einige davon zu schonen. Ich sammle morgen ein paar Mykorrhiza-Pilze, um sie in die Erde zu geben und so den Wurzeln zu helfen.
Ich habe die Äste ein wenig beschnitten, aber ich vermute, dass sie kürzer werden müssen.
Ich könnte wirklich ein paar nette Ratschläge zum Beschneiden, zum Gießen und zu allen möglichen Möglichkeiten gebrauchen, ihm bei der Genesung zu helfen.
Danke 🙏

I’d love to know also. I’ve got some roses in my garden which are 30+ years old. They were in my mom’s garden for god knows how long and been in mine for about 10 years. We want to move eventually and will be taking ours with us. Ours are huge big climbers so no way am I leaving them behind.
You’re right that you’d probably need to cut it down a bit more, though it’s not losing moisture through leaves at the moment. Also there are clear obvious dead branches lower down, so I wouldn’t go below those right now, but take those off. I don’t use the rooty powder myself, but I understand it’s better applied to the actual roots rather than post hoc. What have you planted her in? Is there drainage in the pot and the soil. Roses are amazingly resilient as long as their roots don’t rot and they don’t lose too much moisture. I’m assuming there’s a graft – I can’t see in the pic but the graft wants to be above the soil level and generally keep the bottom higher than lower, which i think you’ve done from the pic. Love that you’ve done this – I’ve done the same and it’ll work.
Edit: The above is assuming you’d plant it in the ground eventually, but it’ll be fine for about a year at most from my experience, then will be so happy when in the ground.
Roses are pretty indestructible and you’ve moved it at the right time of the year, pruning it harder won’t do any harm but given it looks dormant good soil should be fine. You might see reduced flowering depending on the type of rose but as long as it leafs up that’s fine.
You could also take some cuttings from the longer bits as a back, there’s loads of advice from that online but just keep in mind it might be on a root stock so any cuttings might grow a lot larger/smaller than the one you have
I’m not at all an expert but I think that roses don’t really like being moved. But needs must and I totally get why you want to move this one.
You said you saved some roots. Can you give more detail on how many? Like was the rootball that you pulled out of the ground the size of a golf ball, tennis ball, football? How thick were the roots?
Does that pot have good drainage holes? Like, 7-8 holes at least the size of a 10p piece? The fastest way to kill it will be by drowning the roots if the water has nowhere to go. Over watering is more dangerous that under watering.
Roses will be starting to go dormant this time of year anyway. Keep the soil juuuuust moist until spring. Even let the top few cm dry out, it won’t need watering very much. It probably won’t grow any leaves or anything until spring. So you probably won’t know until then if it’s survived or not. But they’re tough.
Are you going to put it in the ground or keep it in the pot long term?
I’d suggest looking up ‘renovation pruning roses’ as that’s the most drastic type of pruning. It’s usually done when a rose hasn’t been looked after at all so it doesn’t exactly fit this situation but should give you a steer on helping a rose survive a drastic event like this.
You could also try to take some cuttings as insurance, so you’ll still have a clone of the original if it doesn’t make it (https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/grow-plants/how-to-take-rose-cuttings/)
Also try calling or emailing thecustomer service rose advice people at David Austin roses. They are super helpful even if you’re not a customer. https://www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/pages/contact-us
It should be ok, take all of the dead off and see what’s left. The roots will appreciate the fungi also you could add something like coconut fibre or perlite to the compost to encourage new root growth.
Like you said it needs more of a prune, there’s some dead branches that can be snipped away. Do you have anywhere you can put it in the ground? If you do put it in and mulch.
May not flower much next year, but the second year it should be good.
Roses are very hardy so hopefully should be good and every
I was given one like this from someone making big changes to their garden, many roots had been damaged and we thought there was no chance. It did great! Flowers multiple times a year and is in flower now !! Sounds like you are doing everything right, there’s always an element of risk with this so if you can take cuttings that’s a good idea too.
Just checking it’s going to go in the ground? My previous comment was assuming it was in a pot temporarily. I’d definitely get this in the ground if you can.
