    Does anyone on here know where I can get a support for a standard rose,
    either a umbrella type or a round one, both are on a stake which is put in next to the stem of the rose and sit over the top of the pruned rose so the new shoots and stems grow through it,
    I have found one on Peter Beals site for �£220, but can't go to that price.

    Thanks for any help I might get.

    Why not see what your local garden centre can supply? David.

    Done that, no good, think the only way I am going to solve it is by making something myself,
    this is where I got the idea from
