    Thanks for the replies! Ok so chop off the dangerous attacking bits now & leave the big task of thinning it out to winter? It’s huge and I think it’ll be easier when the leaves are gone to see exactly what’s what! It’d be nice to get flowers next year though.

    2nd Bloom?

    I'm afraid your roses are planted far to close to the fence and 12" is very narrow for a bed. Roses should be at least 12" from a fence. The soil is very dry at the bottom of fences, due to...

    @Snorky85- That is interesting that yours haven't done much better in the ground, thank you.I've added some of the additional rose nutrients listed up thread, so hoping it makes a difference...

    Newly planted Compassion climber - ok to start tying in?

    I think it's OK for the moment but when it grows new canes then tie them where you want while they are still flexible.

    What's happened to my rose?

    I've had a good look. It definitely has plenty of room - for this year anyway. Then I'll do what @infradig suggests. I don't want to waste a good container on it.
