Peasant roses often resent transplanting, they just don't like it. So avoid it if possible. The transplanted peony will most likely need some time before it blooms properly again.
Like most plants, the peasant rose is reluctant to be transplanted
The best time to transplant
As with planting, early spring, late summer or fall are good times to transplant. The weather forecast should neither predict a long dry season nor an approaching frost period. This gives the roots enough moisture and enough time to grow well before winter. Most of the time, the time after flowering is the better choice for transplanting.
You should keep this in mind when transplanting
If you do have to move your German rose to a different location, then use this opportunity to divide the plant and, if possible, leave part of it in the old location. This part of the plant has the better chance of surviving and, with good care, will certainly flower sooner than the transplanted part.
As a new location, do not choose a place where a farm rose, also known as a peony, has previously stood, as the farm rose does not like it. Likewise, you should not fill up the planting hole with fresh compost, the peony does not like soil that is too nutrient-rich. Don't plant the Peasant Rose deeper than it was previously planted, it doesn't like changes.
The new location of your peony should also meet its needs and be sunny or in semi-shade. Loosen up firm ground with some coarse sand, expanded clay (€19.73) or gravel. If it is not permeable enough, then create a drainage layer. In addition, your peony likes a sheltered spot.
The best tips for transplanting farmhouse roses:
- never plant in a place where peonies previously stood
- possibly divide large plants
- same planting depth as before
- best transplanted in late summer or early fall
- sunny to partially shaded location
- sheltered from the wind
- permeable soil
tips
Only replant the peasant rose if you really have to. She prefers the stability of her ancestral location.
