Peter Beales has 50% off container roses, still seems like a big choice. I may have bought 2; Pearl of St Lukes and Belle Rive. I wonder what will happen at PB and their own bred roses.

Get thee behind me, Satan. 😬
Silver Shadow blooms are much smaller now, and a little rain-damaged after the storms, but they keep coming. Perennial Blue standard a rather welcome beacon of colour. Weeds and nettles are taking over here after all the rain. Cornelia again... incredible colours.
I am having to remove a dead rose and wondered if anyone could remind me of the procedure for planting a new rose in it's place please , tia.
I've recently done that. Dig out a big square hole a bit bigger than a cardboard box about 30cms wide and deep. I bought one from Peter Beales when I bought my new rose. Then use a mix of new topsoil and John Innes 3 or JI 2 to fill the box and the rest of the hole around the box, planting your rose in the box. Add some fish, blood and bone to the new soil. Mulch with compost or rotted manure. Put the old soil somewhere else in the garden if you can.
@Busy-Lizzie, I was wondering how the rose you planted in a box was coming along, also, did you remove the bottom of the box? I read this is what you do?
