    hi everyone
    Not sure what is going on with my rose?
    I purchased it last year and it presented beautiful orange roses... To be honest I'm not a rose person but just fell in love with this one. I have purchased rose feed as I've kept it in a pot.

    Since the move its deteriorated can you let me know if it's too far gone?

    Here are some pictures .... image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Good evening @Apple Blossom its not to far gone but look after your Rose and your Rose will look after you,it doesn't look like it was pruned this year, the pot is far to small,the compost needs changing to John Innes No3,and its to near the wall,it needs space all round so that the air can circulate all round the Rose,remove all the affected leaves please dispose of them in a bag not on the compost heap,and deadhead the spent blooms.put some drainage in the bottom of the new container(Pot) and raise the pot off the ground on a couple of house bricks ,Roses in containers need extra watering than those in the planted in the garden,respectfully suggest that it would be much better off planted in the garden;)

      Thank you for all that information ... I wouldn't want it to be depressed so will take your advice and pop it into the garden, take off the leaves and cut off the current heads as suggested. No it wasn't pruned at the time we moved as the garden demanded a lot more attention at the time and it seemed quite happy. Do I need to put the john Innes No3 into the hole To plant it in and is it too late to prune now? Sorry one other question.... What position would you put it in?

        Good evening @Apple Blossom and @Spruce yes just a tad but nothing to worry about;)

        Hi @Apple Blossom 1.no need to put John Innes in the hole;)
        2. It is to late to prune now if you do it now you wouldn't get any blooms this year,just keep your eye on it.3. Just make sure if it is at all possible that it gets at least 6 hours of Sun:smile: if you need any more help just ask my friend:smile:

          Good morning @Apple Blossom my friend,yes remove the leaves each day and ,don't leave the leaves on the ground when its in its new position,as the spores will lay in the ground and over winter there,and with the pruning you have only got to ask and we are all here to help you at anytime,if it is at all possible please could you post a photo of your lovely Rose when it is in its new position and tidied up,we can give you more advice on if it then needs a little trim,don't worry to much about the black spot,we all get it at times your Rose will be alright and will repay you for many years my friend;)

          Apply general fertiliser, at 100g per sq m (3oz per sq yd) over the surface of the planting area and fork it in to the same depth as the organic matter.For each rose dig a hole roughly twice the width of the plant's roots and the depth of a spade's blade.Carefully tease out the roots of container plants because, if this is not done, the roots may be very slow to extend outwards, leaving the young plant more susceptible to drought in summer.Place the rose in the centre of the hole and, using a small cane to identify the top of the planting hole, ensure the graft union (i.e. where the cultivar joins the rootstock and the point from which the branches originate) is at soil level (not below)Back-fill gently with the excavated soil and organic matter mixture.

              Good evening @wiseowl, just got home, long shift, first job to read your post, second to water the plants :)

              I've had a good read and will follow the instructions on the diagram.... Much easier for me:phew:, I will have to purchase some general fertiliser, if you could recommend a good one, I know I will be on the right track, I do have 'Bayer Garden Toprose' ?

              I do have an area in mind as I have inherited other roses.... However it needs a lot of work at the moment .... Which is planned in for the next few days... This area probably gets most of the sun... Must find out what that plant is in the left hand corner! image.jpg image.jpg

                  Cistus are very slow growing so you could move it to the front.

                    Thank you for that information @CharlieBot:) I wouldn't have considered that option and probably spent too much time trying to find it a new home by moving the pot around :scratch:

                        Good morning Woo! I've heard people recommend planting roses deep with the graft union below the soil to prevent suckering. You disagree with this then?
                        I followed this advice with the climbing rose I planted this winter, and it just doesn't seem to be growing at all. Should I dig it up and replant it do you think?
