Rose in pot

My neighbour wouldnt dare do that to me Gail
Hope damage isnt too bad
I think you will find b&m prices are all the same regardless of where they

 

@Verdun the plant leaves on the right side nearest the shed are very weak and my hubby couldn't move it at first because of taking photo's plus getting them around but that plant cost me £25 half price two years ago and is really getting sturdy there, i did tell them...i said they're not 50p plants mate, verdun the attitude was terrible.

That same neighbour when my hubby put the garden spot light up...after 2 days asked we to drop it, just gets you mad

 

Maybe some pruning needed to balance and shape Gail?

Have had fun n games with neighbours in the past......feelings, emotions and deeds ran high. A "bloke" thing where we competed for the most stupid behaviour......but I was young and I was right, of course!
I have intervened when an elderly neighbour was bullied by her neighbour......now, he was a nasty piece of work.

 

@Verdun i lifted the leaves up the best they would go and it had throwed it out of straightness, so i pushed against it as it's very stern in the ground but at least it's nearly back straight..i'm going to leave it Verdun and hope it sorts itself if not then i'll start pruning back.

I knew this part had to be correct
but I was young and I was right, of course!

It makes you wonder sometimes what's going on with them because me and my hubby live quiet lifes...we'd help anyone and then you get people like you've stated can be nasty pieces of work madness

 

Not everybody is nice Gail......the nasty guys arent worth giving time or thought too

 

These roses in pots do look nice but seldom last. More often than not, like with potted chrysanths around xmas time, they have little or no roots.

 

I'd like to read any comments on this from @wiseowl but, regarding roses in pots from my own experiences.

I would never underplant them. They need not only space for the roots to develop, but also prefer to have air around them. When they are planted, I would add 30 grams of Mycorrhizal Fungi to each one, just as I would if I was planting them in the garden.

Where the rose joins the root stock can usually be seen easily. That point would be at least 10cm below the soil level. If the plants are bare rooted, I would let them stand in room temperature water for at least 30 minutes before planting, as well as soak the soil in the pot well both before and after planting.

Do that and they'll usually grow quite well.

 

Stunning rose tree @ARMANDII

 

I’ve read that before. If the plant gets too big, prune the plant and the roots and start again.

It's nice to have a commercial rose grower by you ...you have some beauties in your garden the last pic's you showed me but he seems to know his job and how to establish roses well

 

@ARMANDII i've noticed when we've been out that these country lanes where farmers are...some do the plants besides and you see some nice ones about but regarding garden centres your talking Albrighton / Bridgenorth areas for we....so you've got quite a few by you very nice now i know why your garden looks like wonderland...the scents off your plants in your garden must be astounding
