i've bought a David austin queen of denmark as a present for a friend whose house we recently stayed in Atlanta Georgia.

this rose is recommended for shady positions so its going near to a north wall.

as its going to be planted this month, should he cut back the new growth when planting or should he cut below the new growth when planting

i ask this as i've read roses establish better (especially in hot southern us summer) if cut back when planted. also how far should he plant from the wall?

i'm assuming other than that i just recommend he plants below the graft point, in a hole with well rotted manure dug in, and a sprinkling of rose fertiliser. and ensure he gives its a deep soak with water once a week

apprecaite your help
