Rose Tree Replanted Query
Hello,
I have had to replant a mature standard rose tree and it isn't looking too healthy. Is there any tips for helping it settle into it's new surroundings? I'm a bit of a novice so not sure whether to give it loads of water [don't want to drown it but all the new buds are all drooping, it looks quite sad]. TIA Jx |

TIA Jx When I did two of these I cut one right back and the other I didn't. After a year or so the former is stronger than it has ever been and the other is doing ok but nowhere near as good. |

So do you reckon I should prune off all the new buds and cut it back the sooner the better? [just been out this morning and it looks even more sorry for itself] Jx |

[just been out this morning and it looks even more sorry for itself] As you realise, obviously, this is a bad time of year to transplant things and it's given your plant some stress. In this dry weather - assuming you're having that, too - it's even more stressed so water it daily but make sure it's draining freely and isn't in water-logged soil or compost. Don't be tempted to feed it. I'm no rose expert but personally, I'd cut it back to a few leaf shoots on each branch, so that it has as little 'work' to do as possible to sustain itself. It's very unlikely it will flower this year but if it puts its energy into producing new root rather than flowers, it might survive the shock and please you next year. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) Devon County Show 17-19 May http://www.devoncountyshow.co.uk/ |

TIA Jx Has there been a previous rose in the place you have transplanted it into? If so you will have to dig out a hole about 2ft wide and 2ft deep and fill with soil from somewhere else. Also they say that Mycorrizial fungi, (look for it on the web) is said to promote good growth. I bought some and am giving it a trial |

If you've had lots of dry weather recently, a good watering would be useful - see the answers in 'more stupid questions - crabapple tree'. -- Kay |
