"Sunflower" dumped this in
on 15 May 2004:

Moisture trapped against a house, even one sided in vinyl, can lead to
internal rot. Vinyl isn't maintainence free, despite the salespersons
claims. Also, roses need good air circulation. YOur best bet would
be to have a separate STURDY trellis a couple of feet from the house
and plant your rose to use that as support. Yes, the slope will cause
problems, and yes, you need to terrace it properly. If you don't know
what you're doing on that one, you can cause even worse drainage
problems or erosion. Get a professional opinion, even if you end up
doing the work yourself.

Thank you. Who would be considered a professional in this type of
situation? Someone from a nursery? Landscapers? Home repair?
