@Wynken thanks. A fair selection on there. Some, like Constant Spry though are usually £38! I have seen they have Fruity Parfuma. Does anyone have this and could comment on what it is like?
@Mr. Vine Eye - I am quite impatient at times and did the same as you! I need to get see through pots to convince myself I don't need to pull them out
@Alfie_i bought it and potted it on to a bigger pot on about 11/4. I used the recommended mix from these lovely rose ( forum ) posters and have been watching daily for some growth. Too eager probably, it just seems so slow. Maybe the pot is too big?
@Songbird-2 - ah ok by buds I thought you meant flower buds . I wouldn't worry. I don't have that rose but it could be typical. Both my Constance Spry & Queen of Denmark bare roots I planted over winter look like your bottom picture. Plenty of time left for growth before the summer.
@Alfie_ Some of those peonies had buds, but a few others looked to be foliage, but I wasn't looking too closely... I picked one up to go with one I already have, and it had 3 buds on it..
Good luck with your rose project if you do it.. 2.5 feet sounds about right..
Thanks @Busy-Lizzie, I was expecting some quicker growth but I'll try and be patient🤭 One thing I did want to ask was, do roses grow okay if sited in a slightly windy spot or are they better off in a more sheltered area? Mine has been in a rather windy area but I've moved it today to under the kitchen window where it's more sheltered and less windy. I do have a dome cloche over it too for protection. We are supposed to be having a heavy frost tomorrow night😱 ( It will be going in the greenhouse overnight).

-and this is now….
just give it time. It is only in the ground for 2 weeks?
