| I know the logical answer (I think) but wondering what you would do? I am out of space to plant roses in an area where they will get enough sun. We will be moving likely in 2017 a few miles away. I can place a rose order now for 2015. Of course that would mean that they would need to survive in pots (unlikely with my level of plant care) and then we would have to move them. I am worried that if I wait though what if I cannot find them. They would likely be HTs, just rarer ones... So I don't think I should be placing an order now (but of course I want to) What would you do? |

| I was in a similar situation this past year. We moved from pa to tn, and I had to stop gardening since we are renting. I did have 4 roses I loved in pots here , and despite my good care that horrible winter freeze killed two ( in my garage !! They were looking good til that week ! ) and the other two that survived are Barely 4 inches tall. So I kinda feel like I enjoyed them last year but my efforts were wasted and I have to start fresh. Are they so rare you are sure you should snatch them up? Or do you have to do some shopping around to find them but shouldn't be much trouble ? Honestly the second round of freezes I was tired of hauling them in and out . I don't plan on doing it again . However , lol there are lots of success stories here about pots !! I have about 25 in pots now waiting our closing date to arrive on our new house ! Just a thought ... Despite everything I just said ... Get em ! Then you can learn if they are worthy of your future garden ! :) |
