    It so happens that The Child, who works in a large garden, was given free hands with roses they were throwing away as they didn't fit.

    I agreed I could fit in a miniature or a patio one, as long as it's pink.

    So, yesterday she arrived with three bare root David Austen roses (Hyde hall, Olivia and Scepter d' Isle). :biggrin:

    Now what an earth am I going to do with them? I can perhaps fit one into the ground but Hyde Hall is definitely too big for my small urban place.

    Would they do ok at least for now in 45cm pots? I have some good terracotta ones free.

    Or can they be pruned to narrow shape?

    Any ideas? Yes, a lovely problem to have :biggrin:
