This climber is always stunning in May

Good morning @Mike Allen no forgiveness necessary my friend,but that was one off trial when I give advice and that's all it is,I have to do it the correct way,but I am a great believer in "Rules are meant to guide you not bind you" enjoy your day

Thanks @Mike Allen , maybe I should still see what area I can move it too. I have been over and over my garden area, but there has got to be a place. will walk about again tomorrow. thanks.

Wish you well Mike and comfort Enjoy your roses

That's roughly what I was thinking Lori. Many householders don't seem to have time any more to maintain their gardens how they would like. Roses need a lot of attention to keep them in good condition so it's easier for people to use plants that need very little looking after.

Thanks @wiseowl

Thank you Vicky thank you Verdun I will certainly do my best not to fall flat on my face.. just had my son's dog with me for a few days. Lovely dog but a bit exuberant for this old codger lol!

I would dig them out using a garden fork. The chances are the main root is still your side of the fence and if you can remove that without a problem the rest should pull free. Even if some of the roots break there will be enough for the rose/s to recover. It's a little late to move them now and...

Good morning @jezzwhizz my friend there are several different strains and it all depends on the location,soil,ect and and the scent and colour of the blooms are also determined by these factors.I hope this has been a help to your questionKiftsgateSpecies / Wild. White, yellow stamens. ...

Yes, thanks a very helpful site, actually not that far away, though a shame they are not fully open to the public.This Cirrhosa Freckles winter flowering one has caught our eyes, though many others to check out.

Good luck @ricky101 , I hope you get a brilliant show and healthy plants. Poundland has bare root roses just now, the varieties are "red, pink, white and yellow. " Some are shrubs, some climbing, and there is no indication on size- however all claim to flower all summer. Interesting.... might...

There was a period when new roses became popular due to their appearance. Sadly in most cases there were the 'Good Looks' but no scent. Then in more recent times breeders have managed to put the scent back the bottle, Oops! Rose. So checking back over some of the older roses may help. Of...

I'm not a lover of pink roses but your rose looks like a stunner Marley.

Yes, the very man. He wrote several books on roses. When he passed away the RHS reported it in the Garden journal. I submitted a piece that was also printed.

Mr Woo. It's planted.

It's sad. Although we don't grow roses in our garden I used to enjoy visiting the Society's garden.

Thank you Sheal. Yes frozen soil/compost and pot/container plants do require attention in winter seasons. Frost, freezing temperatures etc call for extra care. If I may.In the plant kingdom, we have come to accept that certain plants perhaps only flourish well in certain geographic regions....
