B & M Roses

I went into B & M a couple of days ago and noticed pots of bush and climbing Roses for £3.99. I have been thinking of planting a climbing rose next to one of the bun runs. Has anyone bought a B & M Rose and how did it do?

 

That’s interesting about the wax woo....I did wonder how the roses stopped wilting etc during transit.

Yes go for it @luciusmaximus My poundstretcher rose has done brilliantly-hence buying three more this year he he

 

Totally agree Woo regarding quality etc. No disrespects to the great names in rose production but I have experienced buy a load of rubbish from a reputable rose grower. Having spent out a couple of hundred pounds to a Hertforshire grower, several were sporting only a single take, plus a number of other failings. So much is actually down to the staff making up the orders.
Then different roses grow at different rates. A two tear old plant can have stems strong and thick, then another same aged but different one may be little more than a whisp.

It is up to the individual to complain if not satisfied. I notice that some garden centers now offer a five year guarantee. Be honest. How many of us actually complain, how many of us save the bill or receipt.

 

There doesn't seem to be any wax on this Rose. It has some new shoots and some lime green leaves. Still in the pot as need to prepare the planting area. Intended to do it yesterday but was too tired after the bike ride and digging out new pond.

Shall I add compost to the hole when I do plant it? Wondering if the compost will encourage the roots to stay within the confines of the hole and not spread out?

 

Mr Woo. It's planted.
