      That's a lot of work @Wild_Violet . Is there a reason you don't have them in the ground? Much easier than containers. If you don't have any suitable ground, big raised beds would be easier if you could get someone to create those - you'd not need to do so much watering, and the feeding would be simpler for you. :smile:
      Do you not need to amend the soil every year in the pots as well - that's a lot of effort too.

        It’s is a big effort @fairygirl but the rose bug has hit me hard!
        The ground in my garden is quite wet although there are some trees and large shrubs that have survived for years. I created a few raised beds myself and have 9 roses in the ground. It’s just a bit too much for me just now. Hopefully things will improve. I just need to stop buying more roses and maybe even cancel the bare roots currently on order. xx
