@poppyfield64 ...lol... ...my husband is partial to scrumpy, but he says this is real rough stuff.. but then they do their scones the wrong way round.. I mean, sacrilege..
@Tack I’m not really an expert in pots, although I do grow everything in them. 😛
I have a mixture of pots - but like others have pointed out you should get a few of the same type and you can alternate them in your display. Obviously if you prefer a more formal look then you should stick to the same range/texture/colour. I do have a tendency to cram as many plants into my limited balcony space so actually the pots sort of just merge into one and fade into the background as the roses take centre stage.
Thank you all for your help. I have been so indecisive about this, it's much easier choosing the roses. Another question please. When you move a rose into a pot that used to contain another rose how is best to clean it? Does it need some sort of sterilising or is soapy water ok? Bleach solution?
So I have a quick before and after of my Rugosa Hansa. Only planted a month ago and wasn't sure how it would do in this shaded spot. Seems to be doing well and has some more buds now. Fingers crossed it lasts.
My Tuscany Superb has just kept growing and growing this Summer, it's over 5ft tall and still sprouting new growth. Do I just let it carry on growing or can it be trimmed. It hasn't flowered because of my overzealous use of the secateurs over the years (never realising it flowered on old growth), so I now know the importance of controlled pruning but it's starting to get flattened by these gales.
