    Good evening I just thought I would post this here in the Rose forum as it is pertaining to Roses;) I have cleared the new bed now and will endeavor to build a small wall around the perimeter,it measures 21ft down each side and the strip is 8ft wide,and then remove a lot of the soil and dig in lots of manure and compost and then level it off,hopefully it should be ready for the new roses by October/November :)

      It looks as though a lot of work has gone into that bed, Woo.:phew::snork: That's a good sized bed for the roses and it's going to be interesting to watch how it all develops.:snork:

          Just remember to save some space for the cuttings I'll be sending you once they've got a decent root system :blue thumb:
