Re. 'Vanessa Bell'.. It took just one year in a pot to get it like that.. let me indulge myself.. ..planted up in winter 2019.. by November it was still in full leaf and flowering.. about 2.5 feet.. .. a year later in May.. about 4 x 4.. it grew to 4.5 x 4.5 feet by late summer. Pot 15'' x 18''.. fed weekly with Tomorite.. ..November that year, 2020, I transplanted it.. this root system is from about 18 months in the pot..
..lovely in the ground too, the following year after the transplant..
..fabulous rose.. it's back in my garden again but in a different border.
Dasha, that Dannahue foliage looks so clean and vernal. Am mulling more DAs but keep changing my mind- though am definitely getting a Bring Me Sunshine after the result just now (come on you mighty Hatters!!!)
@Marlorena, I have two roses in pots that I bought this summer, I think one about 2 months ago and the other in May, so when would be best to plant these in garden? Thanks
@Vh72 Anytime from now onwards really, just choose your moment.. they're all winding down so no need to worry about when exactly.. I like to get things like this done before winter sets in.

My Amber Flower Carpet has quite a bit of blackspot. I'm surprised. It's supposed to have "Superb disease resistance". The leaves aren't crisped up or anything, but most leaves on both plants have a bit.

Unlikely, but I might get a bloom on 'Molineux'.. the weather is still warm enough and no sign of frosts here.
@Alfie_
Nice choices for you..

A single bunch of Ruby Flower Carpet. I got this from TCL last year; looks more like Pink Flower Carpet.
