help needed
I moved a climbing rose about two weeks ago from the front of the house north facing that was in totally the wrong place, to the rear and placed in a north facing position I was advised I did not have to cut it back to do this - I put it into a lot of home made compost kept it well watered and fed it, however it is looking really sorry for itself the foliage has died, also the buds that were on it. can anyone tell me if I should give up the ghost and if I do can I put another rambler in the same place i want it as a burgler deterrant as I have a wood and well used path at the rear of my house with just a 7' fence, which the local council put up recently to replace garages they knocked down. Hope someone can help

help needed
Make sure you don't over water.
Remember, once dug, the root has to re-grow. Perhaps that is going on. If the dirt doesn't drain well - e.g. water in the hole - put a 2" plastic pipe or a small coffee can - bottom out - sunk 90% and filled with gravel/stone. That will wick out excess moisture. It might be needing some food - we use a long term dissolving type - to help it have the needed chemicals to grow with. Good luck, we have two moved at this time ourselves.
