I was wrestling a David Austin rose out if its container today, and
being a puny girl was having trouble. Finally it felt like it was going
to slide free, hooray, only I quickly discovered that the reason it slid
out so readily was that it was no longer attached to most of its roots
. I planted her anyway and now I'm curious what her chances are and
what I might do to improve them. She's currently a couple feet tall
with some very small buds.

Kind thanks..

trim back the top to be in balance with
the amount of root system you have left
below.

when it starts to actively grow use
a weak solution of liquid fertilizer
to give it a boost once in a while.
