    Thanks for helping us out with that rose cutting earlier in the year @wiseowl :) DSCN1929.JPG

    Do I need to do anything special for it overwinter, should it stay in the greenhouse? :)

      I'll be interested in the answers to this as well. I have some plants that I would like to overwinter - though probably in a dark corner of my garage as the greenhouse goes well below freezing once I shut the heat off.

      It's about a foot long, and the rose is in a 5 inch pot :)

          I think I'd keep it in the greenhouse, because it's still in a small pot it's likely to get frosted outside. Is it a climber Zigs?

            No idea, it wasn't climbing when I bought it from Morrisons :biggrin:

            Just had a thought, i'll re pot it into a see thru container, stop it getting pot bound :ideaIPB:

            The leaf formation makes me think it's a climber, I don't suppose you've still got the label?

            Don't re-pot it yet @Zigs, it'll be best left now until it's dormant (leafless), then I would suggest re-potting and a prune. :)
