Windy rose bed
If blown over, it may because they were top-heavy. You can try to
replant, but you really have to cut them back, as the roots have been
damaged. I've lost a few that way. I staked mine with very heavy
iron rods until the roots were established.
I've pruned mine heavily in the winter ever since, as we get strong
storms in the spring.

My rosebed is in it's second summer and I have a selection of hybrid
teas and floribundas. My problem is that although we have a walled in
garden we still experience strong wind and my poor roses have been
battered this year with stems snapping and others being blown over. Can
I stake them and if so what is the best way?
