Mine were from yougarden, @kate.james58 (hello, by the way! Abandon all savings, ye who enter). Planted this Petit Prince from Trevor White in one a month ago and just realised a bud has formed on it. 😳
I have lots of roses in 50cm black plastic planters in a fully paved front garden. In the summer, they might need some additional watering, but they are okay. Only issue is that the planters each take in 70+ litres of growing medium, so buy compost in bulk bag.

Hi @WAMS, those look to be better quality plastic than mine but at £4 each I'm not complaining. Lovely looking rose - will you let it flower? My the Country Parson container grown from DA planted in October developed lots of buds but DA advised me to remove them.

DA doubtless know better, but I decided to leave it on just in case (some roses were still flowering at the start of Dec here last year) but I doubt it'll come to anything- getting a bit chilly now and all my other Delbards have shut up shop. I don't have the Country Parson, but some of my DAs are still blooming very well- Lady of Shalott, Evelyn, PAoK and Winchester Cathedral.
Quick question if I may. I pruned my tatty looking DA shrub roses in October, after de-potting and planting them between late June and late August. They have new young leaf growth now. Should I still prune them again in February, or is that likely to be unnecessary please? Thanks.
Sorry to witness the demise of the forum. 😥😥😥😡😡😡I am Spartacus
Bargain @kate.james58, glad you managed to nab some!
I have seen other UK forum members warn about it but yeah, you probably only need to take care re the black pot/full sun/fried root thing in a heatwave.

Thanks @Nollie if we get a heatwave I will try to move them into the shade. Probably kill myself doing it but at least the roses will be ok! i am in the North West - no heatwaves here this year.
