As a general rule, roses need about 6 hours of sun a day, and in a place that gets a breeze. So, if you’re planning on planting roses close to a wall, that’s fine, just ensure that the roses aren’t in the shade the whole day, and that they’re getting fresh air.

And, you should be able to plant roses in pots, though I think they would prefer it in the ground. Main reason is due to drainage. You need to ensure that the soil falls apart easily if you lift it, as the water needs to be able to soak down to the roots, and the roots need “room to move”.

I hope this helps, and feel free to come back with more questions, or, even better, with updates on how your roses are doing…

1 is a standard with the flower loosely packed yellow petals, the other is a smaller standard (thats a long stem with the bush at the top) with a tiny pink flower and the last is a “conventional” rose bush. Now what do these things like? Sun/ shade? and where abouts should I plant them – Pot / ground?

Hope someone can help!

And if anyone knows hot to get rid of termites that would be gratly appreciated!
