also i got a couple zantedeschia tubers from poundstrecher do i just pot them up inside til i see decent growth then pop out in bigger pots, do they get big in their first year? do you plant them near surface like begonia tubers? thanks Sam

Zantedeschia - I'd probably use a pot around the 2 litre size - they need planting at twice the depth for it's size (i.e. if the bulb is 2" it's tip needs to be 4" below the surface of the compost). Keep it in a sunny frost free position and don't let it dry out.
Standard rose - lots of choice from either of these two superb suppliers
