        Zephirine Drouhin is a climber. You could make a lovely feature of it by leaving the stems long and bending them gently so they arch outwards, then use metal pegs to secure the ends of the stems to the ground.
        Reine des Violettes is a tall shrub rose. You could disguise the legginess by planting lavender or catmint around it?

          Good evening @Clueless76 they are both climber's that's why they are so leggy they should be climbing up a trellis,Dig them up and move them to their right location in your garden:smile:

            Oh damn! Don't I feel really silly :whistle: could they be grown through a hedge? Or do they need a trellis?
