Thanks, @Marlorena, you're the best. Would you use any kind of fleece or anything else to protect it now? The other roses near it in some cases have a tiny bit of tip dieback but nothing comparable. Jubilee C planted at the same time from the same order is looking terrific less than two feet away!
had to go through a few posts and was excited at all the new purchases..
and then was shocked to hear about @pitter-patter such beautiful garden you have.. just hope and pray things go well for you.. Do talk to someone if you need to.. it is always best to share your worries than bottling it in...
Thank you, everyone. I know you’re right, @cooldoc, I’m afraid I’m not very good at talking. I’m keeping that little flame of hope going for as long as I can…
I’ve moved Aloha to a different part of the garden and planted Ghislaine in its place. I haven’t changed much of the soil so I hope it will be ok.
All these reports of plant buying is making me twitchy and envious!
I may have access to a baffling array of roses, but local shrub and perennial selection is absolutely dire. I’ve had such bad experiences and wasted a lot of money buying those online from France the last couple of years and I’m not sure I want to risk it again. Too many mislabelled and sickly plants with strangled roots encased in those teabag things.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@Marlorena - my clematises from Taylor's arrived too. Really good delivery and packed up very well. I got the two Piilus (or is it Piili?) all planted.
The spare Madam Alfred Carriere has also found its forever home. I have a big and high wall, though it is North facing and slightly shaded. All I've read seems to suggest that MAC will be OK or probably won't care! But at least she has 10' to spread and about 15' in height to go up. All newly wired. So she is out of the pot and into the ground.
Fingers crossed she makes a full and fulsome recovery.

No I wouldn't bother with that.. temps are getting milder now for a decent period, so I don't think you'll get any more dieback..
I just ordered some Dahlias.. .lol.
regarding dr Jamain anybody is aware how Fire is doing?

That's good Peter, you're gradually getting there after much hard work.. I'm pleased you've got your plants sorted and in the ground..
I have another clematis arriving tomorrow, a scented one, this time from Thorncroft, who are also equally good..
All my other plants I received were planted over last couple of days.. hard work but I got there too.. I've also ordered some martagon Lilies..
Have you ever considered ordering from Esveld NL ? they have a huge range.. 35 euros delivery to Spain.. DPD I'm afraid though..
