Growing plants helps the environment - They take out CO2 -Carbon dioxide, and give out Oxygen {O} in their respiration system in the daytime -At night time they just stop as photosynthesis ends - they do not reverse the process as that's an old wives tale....
Are they in pots or bare rooted ? Anyway rose love a heavy clay heavy soil, & love bone meal a good half hand full mixed well in the hole with compost you plant them in & they won't look back the feed will last for 3 years which you replenish on the surface around the plant every 3 years in Bone meal plus rotted compost or multi-purpose compost hoed into the top layer around your bush .....
Nice one, thank you. Bare rootedAre they in pots or bare rooted ?

Check out for black spot periodically, either spray or remove the affected leaves it's a common thing - nothing to worry too much about just keep an eye on it - plant in a sunny position facing south to avoid this
Cut back leaving the 3 strongest stems above a node about 6 inches long - remove all leaves and keep warm well above frost free, but dryish through the winter... as spring arrives when new growth appears feed lightly - Then treat them in very hot conditions with humidity for another crop....
Ideal give them a very light prune, any crossing branches or oldish wood remove plant them firmly with your heel when you prepare your hole adding the bone meal, compost etc light water them in and forget them till next spring .....they will kick into growth you then need to also put cross wire structure next year in for support to keep them in control plus get the best view of the flowers....
Only certain crops if you have heat of 15 C sowI always procrastinate with the starting of my seedlings until it is too late and I just put them on the ground but this article has motivated me to begin my growing season this weekend. @Joey66 would you be starting sowing your seeds soon?
Start Sowing Early To Extend Your Growing Season
Here's how to get a head start on sowing to get the most from your garden.www.treehugger.com
Dear Joey
I had to convert celsius to fahrenheit and I have come up with 21 so I should be good to get some seeds started indoors. We keep our home toasty for this Colombian and our hermit crabs lol But I'm going to look into the poly tunnel. What would you be sowing under yours? And how soon?
15c to 20c is fine 60 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit is sufficient for most seeds the more tropical the plant like geraniums, peppers etc the highest 20 c is best .........
Hi Kev.Joey is on the toilet at the moment and might be there for some time due to the anal explosion I have just heard.Chickpea curry got the better of him I think.In between porcelain splatters and groans Joey suggests Honeysuckle.He will go in to more detail when he picks his arse out of the bowl and I have Febreezed him down.Best wishes Rita xxHope you don't mind me giving this thread a bump @Joey66
I'm looking to plant some form of climber to grow against my shed, both to screen it and to possibly provide future nesting opportunities for birds.
My first thought was ivy, but ideally I would like something faster growing. I'm no gardener, so don't want anything that needs too much care. The shed faces NE and is semi shaded.
Roses? Honeysuckle? Any ideas or advice would be gratefully received.
