The roses really aren't thriving, even the younger replacements and
we're wondering what she can do about this. It seems clear that the
soil is 'rose sick'. Moving the rose garden to another area isn't an
option and this location is ideal as it's towards the end of the
sloping garden but hidden from sight by a hedge so that nobody has to
look at a load of bare sticks in winter! We're all wondering whether
the rose beds can be dug out and new soil imported to refill them and
if so, to what depth they should be dug out etc.
Is this possibly the sort of situation that Rootgrow or Rootgrow plus
might help? As it happens we were buying a couple of new roses at the
weekend and Pococks who are a local rose specialist suggested this
particularly as one of the roses was to replace another that hadn't
grown so well for us.
