Which roses have you had the best luck with?

[Rosemaryandlavender1]

In terms of potted roses, Is there any suppliers that you think are the best and which would you buy again? I am aware of David Austen roses which seem to be quite popular. I am looking to purchase two mature rose plants to plant in pots as I'm too worried to put them in the ground. If anyone has pictures of their roses in pots then please do share 😊

Snap - my very random floribunda type that I bought from Aldi because I liked the colour goes from strength to strength.

Roses are pretty tolerant as to soil, which is why virtually every garden in the UK has one. I’d suggest getting a cheap one and trying that.

No matter how much you cosset your plants, something will die, it’s the nature of gardening. Ten years down the line you will welcome this, with your garden full of plants, - a planting opportunity!

I've bought roses from https://www.cottage-memories.co.uk/ and highly recommended them, great prices and service.

I only have one David Austin rose, Summer Song which has a reputation for being fussy but is doing really well in my garden. It has the most amazing scent!

Roses seem to do well in an British climate, I was in a DA group on Facebook for a while and the people who struggled with their roses were the ones trying to create a rose garden in the middle of Arizona, over here they usually do fine.

Thanks, my local centre have plants that are good value for money and very reasonably priced, compared to what i have recieved from online stores. I think I will pay them another visit and see what they have.

For me, I'll only buy David Austin again. They're so disease resistant- I won't muck about with spraying and whatever- and I've also been disappointed with random tea roses I've bought that don't smell of anything. There's no point in roses that don't smell, surely!?

@Be4thedawn Lovely photo. Summer Song is one of my favourites. Such an unusual colour.

@Be4thedawn your roses look beautiful!

Disclaimer that they're not my roses, just the first photo I found when I googled 😁Mine look v similar though 🙂
