    If it`s too stiff to bend then the idea of mine is a no go and I too would cut it back-probably shorter than Woo but I`m a demon when I have secauteurs in hand.

    Hi, my name is Barb and I am new to this site. My garden is a large back yard. I prefer to call it my (walled garden ) only have small amount of planting space, which I have filled with two hebes,a climbing rose, clematis and a hydrangea ,also plenty of bulbs. Everything is coming along fine except for one hebe which has really succumbed to the harsh winter, it is looking very sad,droopy and slimy.do you have any hope for it.
    All my other plant are in containers. I also have hanging baskets.They all do very well over the season.
    The garden gets sun all day apart from one spot leading to kitchen door.
    I am thinking of trying a climbing rose(golden rain) in a large container and trailing it along railings on my patio will this work do you think?. Thanks in advance ,BARB.

    Hi Barb Welcome,I haven't come across Golden Rain,and I am not doubting its existence But are you sure Its not( Golden Shower,s)
    But yes it will work with a pot of at least 18 inches or 45cm diameter and as deep . Half Barrel Ect ,I use John Innes No3-80%+ 20% ordinary Compost or Fertiliser , Purely my personal choice But container grown Roses need to be watered regularly and not allowed to dry out and fed regularly ,Hope this has been of some help to you:)

    Hi Wiseoldowl, the description on packet says, a beautiful sweetly scented Yellow rose with masses of semi-double flowers. (GOLDEN RAIN) This is all the info it gives apart from planting and pruning instructions.

    Hope it is of some use to you, cheers BARB.

    Thank you for your Kind words Lollipop,It Is a bit tricky sometimes as Some Roses have their Registration Names Changed Over the years,some of them two or three Times,Its purely for Selling reasons
    Ie People tend to prefer different Names as time goes by:)

    Thank you wiseoldowl, it is always interesting to know the origins of flowers , and boy do you know your roses. Would it be possible to still buy a rose I have not seen for many years called ENA HARKNESS.
    As memory serves it was a very deep pinkish red, a most beautiful flower. THANK YOU. x
