At this time of year, and you've got until the end of March, which isn't very long, it's better to plant bare root, they're easier to plant for one thing, and establish better most people find... because container roses are usually planted late spring and summer and then because of drier conditions, they need so much pampering with water, that it can become a chore to get the best from them... however, I do both a lot, according to time of year and what I want, so don't let it put you off but beware that roses planted from containers do need to be watered a lot more during their first season until established..

Thanks very much for the great information and I look forward to my bare root Roses.😉
Hi I managed to get myself (1x " lady Emma Hamilton") bare root rose.
Unfortunately " Chandos beauty" was sold out.
Anyway I'm on holiday at the moment and my rose arrives tomorrow. My son has an Amazon Prime account and I was thinking if he could order compost online today it would probably arrive tomorrow.
Would it be possible to recommend some compost from the Amazon website plus a slow-release fertilizer.
Sorry to hijack the conversation. But can I ask @Marlorena if you have any experience growing La Rose de Molinard. I'm thinking of buying one to put on a large obelisk in the middle of a new border. Thanks!
Oh lucky you, that is one gorgeous rose... although I've not grown it myself I know people who do, and this is what I can tell you.. it has large glossy foliage, very disease resistant with a wonderful scent - unusual to get these two happen together in a rose.. it grows upright and supports itself and blooms long and often.. the flowers are also great in a vase, but don't cut them too soon, wait until they are opening up a bit.. A large obelisk sounds good, I hope it's at least 6 foot tall..
...here's the breeder Georges Delbard giving you the lowdown on YouTube, it's all in French of course, but even so you can see how it grows and just what a fabulous rose it is...
Just get the compost suitable for roses that is showing there, that will be fine.. and I use the Westland fertilizer with horse manure that you see on that link too... Enjoy your holiday !...

Thanks very much for your kind help I'll keep you updated.
Oh thanks @Marlorena for sharing your wisdom so freely. Will give it a shot if my other half likes the colour. This being the first year I get to plant in the new garden, I'm nursing seven bare root roses in pots until I plant them in the ground in May. I'm excited to see them all grow and prosper.
