Roses

Well done WOO.

hi guys, I started from seed last year a bonsai rose. In its second year it's put on a lot of growth. Which year should I be moving it from the greenhouse to it's spot in the garden?

'Amazing what can be done with a little help from the Lord' the minister said. The gardener said ' hmm not so good when he had it all to himself'

Good afternoon @Kennyhicks well there are to my knowledge 4 different strains of "Canary Rose" your form the photo provided looks to me as the medium shrub type used in many cases for creating a hedge,I respectfully suggest that if you want a climbing rose just let it grow,and then when you...

As Ricky says........that's the key, Scotty, "if it settles in". The Rose has only been in the ground for a month and so needs to put roots down so, sorry to disappoint you, it could be next year before it decides to put any real new growth on as regards stems. Let the Rose do it's thing,...

Agreed x2

I'll be there in Spirit, Cuttings, i.e. a glass or three of Balvenie while toasting your good health and that of the rest of the GC Gang.

Yes, the tree roots will grow down or across so your roses are in a good position being higher.

I dug the rose up but didn't get much tap root because it was growing flush to a tree stump so I wasn't very hopeful but it's survived so hopefully we'll see what it is this year.

I bought one for the same purpose @NessaJ70 (still to build the pergola though) "teasing georgia"

So sorry to read of your recent loss . The memorial Rose for Rupert is a truly lovely idea. I hope you find one better suited to your needs soon.

With a shrub rose you want to prune it back, to form a goblet shape, if you take your hand, and imagine you are holding a large orange, point the fingers straight up, this is the shape you want, for optimal light penertration, personally, I only remove discoloured leaves, and prune back to a...

It sounds like a wonderful rose....My MiL loved roses, and loved the summertime. She passed away last autumn. I’m seriously thinking of trying to track this down as a tribute plant to her.

Hi All, could you please let me know which is your favourite rose from list number one and list number two? It is for a location 800mt above sea and quite humid, cold winters and warm summers...

Hello and thank you for your time searching.. I saw this site, too but was also wary of it. In addition, there was a charge on top of £19 delivery. Total £33. I’ll keep searching and phoning established centres. Veronica

Had one of these but it stopped being as floriferous in the fourth year and just went downhill after that, so I got rid. I treated it like a floribunda as I think these are essentially miniature ones. I would never feed or prune this time of year as I gather both would induce vulnerable soft...

We had Comte de Chambord, and it was a lovely rose, that unfortunately we had to leave behind on one of our moves...

Wow thanks for the huge response all. Sian raised a good point, my Rose's are very tall, upto roof height, think it might be a good idea to take out the ones thst are not supported very well, and leave the rest till early spring.

It looks like the romantic shape of rose, woo, that you would give to your Wife in a bouquet. I'd like to see it in real life to smell the scent and see it in true light.........a very nice rose.

Such a mix. Firstly may I suggest members check-out Glyphoste on wikipedia. It will save me loads of typing. Fair do's , and I respect members comments.Might I ask. Roses, brambles and marestail. To what areas, quantaties are we talking about. Please be fair. The original post could have...
