What stake to use for tall standard rose.

[BigDahliaFan]

At the moment it's got a bamboo cane and is in a pot as it's not grown much. I'd like to get it in the ground. What kind of stake would you use....?

Hello BigDahliaFan,

Most people go for a 5-6cm square post however I think a round one of the same dimension looks good. To support your standard rose use a stake that is the full length of the stem. When putting in the stake try not to damage the rootball.

Hello again BigDahliaFan,

Don’t forget to make sure the stake is pressure treated with preservative or if not treat it yourself.
