Planting

Hello!  I am wanting to plant  an iceberg  climbing rose to run up trellis to cover my fence.  Just  dicovered there is loads of bluebells sprouting up where I want to plant.  Should i plant in a pot or the soil?  Will this still be ok?  Would either effect the other? I also have a cherry blossom tree in the same vicinity and want to ensure they all will work with each other. Any advice would be fab!   Thanks!

    Personally, I would not be worried about the bluebells and would put the rose in the ground rather than a pot. Unless you're out in the countryside with bluebells in woodlands you probably have Spanish bluebells.

    I wouldn't worry about the tree too much. Trees established trees are often used as host plants for climbing roses. I would only worry if the tree is young and the rose is likely to grow into it in the immediate future.

    Oh thanks so much. The rose is basically to stop intruders hopefully with some thorny bits. I also have a thing for white roses!
