Am I too late to plant bare root Roses

[lalamumto3]

Hi I have a couple of gaps in my borders and have had a look at planting some roses. Should I go for potted or do you think that bare rooted would flower this year?

thanks so much

I'm not sure where you would get bare root roses at this time of year. I would go for potted, or wait until autumn for bare root.

I've just bought one from David Austin and planted it this evening. I presume they wouldn't have sold it to me unless it was going to be ok. Hope not, anyway!
