Temporarily planting bare-root roses

This : would take place in about a month's time. : : : If not, has anyone any suggestions of what to do/ I would trim the roots to fit the container. Presumably they are new plants so I would expect that as a possibility even if planting in open ground, if they were excessively long : -- : David D Stretch: Stoke-on-Trent, UK. : Delete DELETE in the above email addresses to email me |
