Roses falling over

brian stoat · June 2022

Hello all👋🏼

Beautifully floriferous roses at the moment; newly planted last autumn. Rather TOO floriferous for the plants to support themselves though!
any top tips out there for keeping them a bit more upright, other than canes and string?
Cheers

I prop up the floppy/top heavy ones with these metal plant hoops in varying sizes (other brands available, selection on am*zon etc.):

Yeah, I thought that might be an option. Thanks :-)

Or buy some 5 or 6mm round bar from a metal merchants and bend your own. It's so much cheaper!

Exactly what I have planned 🤗

Then buy a welder and make some more exotic ones!

As a last resort use the green covered metal supports, somewhat ugly but does the job.
