Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone would be able to advise how I should keep some young climbing rose trees that I sent for from a magazine offer. They arrived the other day in a plastic bag and are about 2 foot high, the roots are bare. I am uncertain how to keep them until I can plant them out. Should I leave them in the plastic bag? Put them in water? or should I get outside and plant them asap.
I would be grateful for any advice!
Also I have an old climbing rose in the garden that is very spindly with dead wood and long thin shoots coming from it. Should I cut this right back? I have read so much differing advice on this matter and also things I can't even understand, can anyone let me know in plain english!
Thankyou
