However, I have spotted some new shoots appearing so it looks as though they might be ok.

That's good, I have some of their roses, I always look for scented continuous flowering ones...roses are my favourite flower, great that you can cut them too and have them in the house
Yours sound as if they will be ok

Re: David Austin roses
An update on the David Austin roses if anyone is interested.They have both taken well and are both about eight inches high at the moment with lots of new shoots.
Interestingly though, we visited the same nursery yesterday and the same roses are for sale much larger - about 15" but are the same price as we paid. Surely the ones we bought should have been cheaper as they were so young?
I suppose the moral of the story is to be patient. If we had waited another few weeks, our roses would have much more established.

glad to hear the roses are doing ok I have come to the same conclusion with both strawberry and herbaceous plants . Looking around the local nursery, the same kind of plants I bought weeks ago are much further ahead than mine with the added advantage for some of having avoided slug height. Oh well I will know better in future, patience isn't my middle name
