'The Prince' is so beautiful. I find it hard to adjust the colour to look as in reality, which is a dark burgundy purple mix. I am considering cutting the bud and taking it outside, heavy rain is expected tomorrow.
@Katsa I’ve had roses in both sizes you quoted.. and both do very well. As the old adage goes bigger is better. The price difference should be negligible between those two sizes, i would definitely recommend the 47x40 pot. It should be manageable, as in you can still move the pot about fairly easily once the rose is in. I find that the tapered ones are good for when you have to repot the rose as you can get your hands in more easily compared to the ones with straight sides.
I like Elho pots.. good quality and slick modern look. It is in the mid range price as far as plastic pots go so still affordable. Good value for money
The roses on here are beautiful and I so enjoy seeing all your photos. Mine may not be up to the same standard yet but I have set up an area on my allotment/garden just for roses. DA Grace DA The pilgrim Looks very similar to Grace Precious Amber Tesco I think. Possibly Pound shop.
I also have DA Fascination and DA Princess Ann but they won't download as they aren't the right size.
Can I ask, when the cluster of flowers on a stem have finished flowering on my Desdemona, how far do I cut the stem back. Do I just cut the flower heads off or can I cut it further down the stem.
@Katsa I got it from the Cornish Rose Co who are just 8 miles away from me. It is described as a short climber. I'm going to try her up the side of my arbour and see how she does. I don't think she is very vigorous so an obelisk may be fine. Online one site said 8ft and another said 10ft.
