@Allyblueeyes Not a problem at all.. several options, you could just leave it, and prune out a cane later, you could insert a small little cane and tie the stem to that, away from the other one.. all a faff... what I would do is just prune where I've put the red line.. job done.
@Marlorena. Thank you, I’ll go ahead and prune where you say. So simple when you know how eh? 😉

My handyman, who is taking care of my garden in France, has just sent some photos of my garden. I have a round rose bed that I made and planted in early spring 2022 with 3 white roses, Aspirine, and 3 pink roses, Amica, bought from Promesse des Fleurs. The white ones are doing really well, lots of leaves and growth, but the pink ones are dead. I wonder why.
If a rose has only been planted just over a year and dies do you have to change the soil before planting new roses?
@Marlorena what would you do, please? I had 2 answers but they were different! The roses were on a very cheap end of season offer, so maybe the pink ones already had a problem. The soil is clay and I dug in loads of compost when I made the bed which is in sun.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
@Busy-Lizzie I wouldn't worry about it in this case, just over a year isn't long enough to make much of an impact.. just incorporate if you can some fresh garden soil at planting time, as backfill.. that's all.. a spadeful will do..
I sometimes plant a little to the right or left of the original hole, about a foot, as an alternative..
@agnasia I've had 'Dunham Massey'.. 'Comte de Chambord' 'Jacques Cartier' and 'Gentle Hermione' of those you've listed. For pot purposes I would advise 'St. Ethelburga' though, as I've seen it in a garden setting and it is not only a lovely rose but has a sweet and delicious scent. It suits a more modern feel to a garden than the others.

Up to you of course, happy choosing..
