A red HT my puppy munched totally to ground level, twice, now rising like a phoenix. Fingers crossed. Dug up and put in a pot, just in case.
Also dug up from its prime garden spot, Ebb Tide. Was going to put it in a pot and wait and see but the second remaining cane seems to have died now. It just doesn't want to live, does it?
Worst, DA were assuring people up to last week that LEH was going nowhere and they were going to make the ordering system fairer so everyone could get one next year.🤨
@Nollie thank you for starting a thread. I really hope that I will be able to do it at sometime future.
Roses are only here and there. Most of them are resting. I am sad to hear the DA archived roses. I wanted to purchase Jubilee Celebration standard this year.
Is it ok to dig up the roses and pot it up?
Will it be ok to plant potted roses on those spots?
Pretty Jessica :
Lovely Parfuma : I didn’t mean to buy this rose. I have been sent two of them incorrectly instead of Secret parfuma. The scent is too strong but the flower form is nice.
Eustacia Vye: The Prince: I must admit that I have fallen for a dark colour roses more than other shades. Eden:
The Lady Gardener:
Emily Brontë:
Othello : look at the thorny new growth!
Desdemona: small flowers and in its second year. For some reason this isn’t grown much.
Evelyn: I love everything about this rose except the health. Cymbeline: Strong myrah scent which I dislike .
Lady of Shallot: the scent is nowhere near LEH. I would not accept this as a replacement of LEH.
Queen of Sweden : thrown 2 basal growths over 5 ft this year. Another growth is on the way! Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Ebb tide:
Finally an unwatered dahlia the whole year - badger twinkle
I have already removed the following roses this year 1. La rose de Molinard 2. Laguna 3. Madame Anisette 4. Lovely Parfuma (second one, the flowers got fried in full sun) 5. Zephirine Drouhin (inherited) 6. Ispahan ( too much space for the once flowering roses. I still keep Constance Spry and Mme Hardy. I might remove M. Hardy next year but can’t afford to loose Constance Spry. ) 7. Duchesse de Montebello ( same as above )
@Imprevu thank you so, so much! I had looked at Filroses in the past, but had forgotten about them. Of course you can’t order a single rose so I have just ordered:
Crown Princess Margareta Crépuscle* Falstaff
My TCL order: Versigny Roald Dahl Boule de Neige Souvenir de St Annes Stormy Weather Royal Celebration Blue for You Duc de Guiche* Yolande d’Aragón*
Which roughly equals the roses I’ve removed. So much for downsizing 😆 The ones I’ve asterisked have been on my wishlist for a very long time, so I thought, what the hell!

@Rojas, to answer your query, yes no problem with digging up and potting roses but best done in the dormant period; prune back for ease of handling and also trim the roots back if necessary. If they haven’t been in the ground long, no problem with planting new roses in the old spots. If they’ve been there for longer than 2yrs, dig out all the old soil and swap with garden soil which hasn’t grown roses before to avoid replant disease. It theoretically helps to sprinkle Mycorrhizal Fungi in the refreshed planting hole and over the roots of the new occupant. Some people do one or the other but I tend to do both to be on the safe side and I also tend to do both even if the roses have only been in the ground a year, but that’s just me being paranoid!

RIP. I'll miss its Christmassy fragrance.
I need to calculate how much space to allow my new GdeF before I dig the planting hole!
oooo, that's no good.
