I'm looking for a supply of what I believe are called "rose" or
"clematis pots" - deep black plastic pots (about 6" diameter). I've
searched the web but can't find a supplier. Anyone help?

I want to buy about 50

Hard cheese!.Pete!. Those deep thick black plastic "pots" of which you
speak appear to be available only to the very large clematis
cultivators.
I can't refer to my brother who had a medium sized clematis Nursery near
Preston because he passed away last year.
Nevertheless he lectured all over this Country and many foreign places
like
Poland where there are many clematis enthusiasts.
I have about two dozen empty ones of various sizes but its not worth the
expense of packing and transport costs.
Keep trying, but I think that only searching for the sources who supply
the
big firms might be fruitful, and if you strike lucky, please send me an
e.m,
Ta!
Doug.

Pete try LBS www.lbs-group.co.uk what you want are the extra deep pots 2
or
3 lt they cost £22 ish per 100. I don't use them (prefer bags) but they
defniantly do them.
sorry if there have been loads of other post saying this but the wretched
news server here is only letting me see 5 posts per day! bit rich when
just
a while back it let thousands through :~)
