Not an expert here, but a reader for a while...

It has been said that one is not to plant a rose into a previous rose hole.

Something about plant disease. Easy in the pot- dump all and clean - put new
soil and plant.

In the ground it is more work - dig deeper and wider - replace with soil
from elsewhere in the yard (swap soil).

That is what I understood.

And in jest : put the Princes Trust where a relative of Jekyll and Hyde was ?
Maybe that is ok since Jekyll was relocated into confident!


Good luck on the relocations.

Hi can anyone advise me?

I want to move the rose "Princes Trust" which has been a Pot for 4yrs
into a position in the Garden where another Rose has been for the past
6 months, will this be alright? and should I cut this back to give it a
better chance of survival, and would now be a good time to do it.

The Rose I want to move into the Pot is " Gertrude Jekyll" I understand
that this should be cut back by a third in Jan/Feb would it be better to
cut it back when we move it to the Pot ( this is the Rose we have had in
the Garden 6 months)
