jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I just planted one last week and I am counting on it to bring wild excitement to my garden. I have to say Hoovb got a beautiful garden. Love the iron and white fence combo.
What a nice surprise!

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated I've grown a 3 x 3' rose in a 16" pot, but that is really pushing it. You need to get them in bigger pots before long. About watering--wait till the surface is dry about 1" down, then water thoroughly. Good luck.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated All the new growth, or just some of it? If the latter, check to see if the bad shoots all stem from the same basal cane, which has something wrong near the base. If the whole plant is collapsing, voles may have eaten the roots. Ro...
