I had assumed that climbing roses would not do well on a North wall.
Do they also manage O.K. in tubs, or is this pushing my luck too far?
No. Climbing roses (and especially ramblers) are far too vigorous for a
tub and require a large root run.
However, you can plant roses in tubs: look for "patio roses", and amongst
these can be found dwarf climbers.
Make sure they have a good John Innes No 3 soil-based compost, and none of
that hopeless peat-based stuff.
I have a front concrete which is North facing.
That's OK. They are hard as nails, but sunshine is desirable.
Cheers,
