Advice needed please...

I'm no gardener as I've said before, and my garden is a lazy persons garden-gravel and pots! Been given a Rose Bush as a present and I need to repot it in a bigger pot. Is the soil in the grow in the bags suitable? Don't want to kill it off as it was a present. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Advice needed please...

I would use multipurpose compost Merz, there is not the goodness in a grow bag....

Thanks Moli. That's probably why my previous rose bush died then because I emptied the contents of a grow bag and planted it in that. Got to keep this one alive because my lovely neighbour who bought it for me will be checking to see how its going on!!!!

Re: Advice needed please...

If you are going to keep it in a pot, muti is the best one to use...

Re: Advice needed please...

I've grown roses in very large pots for several years that are doing well in multi, so agree with Moli.

Re: Advice needed please...

Sorry to disagree with posts so far but for long term pot growth I would use John Innes No3
