I'm new to the gardening world. It all looks so easy at the start but i'm having a little trouble and not sure what to do with a few certian things?

I got two rose bushes from Dobbies they look lovely but not sure where in the garden to put them as my Dad has filled it up pretty well (He passed away this year, so i've taken over to make sure the garden is looking lovely) Can rose bush be kept potted or do these have to be planted? Also which soil is best?

Another, i have two hanging baskets but due to the recent frost, snow & hail etc they are starting to rot away? Will these bloom again? Is there a way to make sure they do?

I have also sowed some seeds about 7 weeks ago and nothing? Am i too impatient? I've put them in peat soil in individual pots and left them in a shaded / sun spot? Do i need to put a protective cover over them......have i basically just answered my question?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
