Help with roses

[MrsPatrickDempsey]

We are gifted a couple of lovely anniversary roses in pots in September.
I really don't know how to look after them ( I deadheaded the blooms) but the plants aren't looking v good now. Not sure what to expect over autumn/winter and what I should do.
Tips and advice please?

All the leaves will fall off over winter, so they will be looking a bit ropey now. In theory you should prune them, between leaf fall and March, google for how. RHS advice is always good. But it won’t harm them to miss a year if you’d rather nit do that yet

Not

What type of roses are they, and how big are the pots?

What type of rose is this. We cut it right back to get rid as was an inherited heap over fence. Then this has sprouted from stump. Trying to work it if worth saving and how to care for it.

Sorry meant to start own thread. Ignore.

Don't worry, its the end of the season for a lot of roses now, so they will be looking ropey. They don't need much care over the winter, they are surprisingly resilient. They'll lose all their leaves and will go into a dormant period until the spring, just prune them in the winter if they've got a bit straggly www.davidaustinroses.co.uk/blogs/news/pruning-an-english-shrub-rose and top dress them with manure in early spring.

I strip the foliage off mine when I trim them for the winter, it saves constantly fishing the fallen leaves off the soil around the rose which apparently encourages disease. Mine look like skeletons at the moment.

The advice used to be to get rid of fallen leaves so that blackspot spores aren’t carried over, but more recently there’s been advice that the spores are everywhere anyway.

@MereDintofPandiculation I didn’t know it had changed, thank you. It’s a nice autumn afternoon job though, I quite like it.

@SockFluffInTheBath It can't do any harm doing it, though, can it? Surely "less spores" has got to be better than "more spores"? It's just useful justification for lazy gardeners like me.
