Roses

No worries my friend you are most welcome

Thanks @Redwing I think that's what I'll do.

@AliceJ2019 if you scrape a small part of the cane off with your finger nail,to see if its green underneath or brown,but I would still remove all the leaves and give it a chance my friendI'm the eternal optimist

Good morning @Mike Allen no offence has been taken we must agree to disagree This is only how Woo does and his deadheading and the reason is that the appearance of a Rose bush with many dead and shriveled blooms left on it wouldn't look very nice and if wet dead they could spread disease...

My neighbour was back from her hols yesterday bearing gifts, probably mention the pots over the weekend, probably put the biscuits up for my wife's birthday in November

I use these 'Stewart 66l' ones and they are £20 a piece from Dobbies I just purchased 4

Good morning @Imran Surti just to confirm I have heard from Geoff Hodge this morningHi Woo thanks for getting in touch. It looks like botrytis I hope this helps.Best wishes & good gardening.Geoff Hodge MCIHort Garden writer, broadcaster & horticultural consultant

We shall look forward to seeing them then @Jack Sparrow

I thought that they were but just checking. They should have been staked when planted.

Often a puzzler for gardeners. Rose replant disease, yet this disease/problem also affects other trees, shrubs and plants. The actual cause is not known, and as far as I know, soil sample testing etc doesn't identify the existence of it. Mention has been made in relation to roses, that are...

You’re welcome. I don’t know if @wiseowl can add anything?

always a learning curve I guess lol ok will do what I can and hope for the best

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

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...
