Peony advise

I think we might scrap the 'all white' idea, and have a mixture. I keep browsing through roses, and there are so many lovely ones. I found a short blue-ish rose (Intermezzo), that is about 50cm height, unfortunately, it is out of stock!

I do this regularly. I keep a wish list. This year I managed to get five of he roses on my wishlist at half price. I'll just keep buying them a few a year...till there is no where left to plant

Mojisola, your're right moving a rose is different. But digging up a rose and then moving a few inches/a foot is surely the same as planting a rose where one has previoiusly grown.

But it's only a problem if the soil has had roses growing in it for many years. If you want to move a rose within a few years of planting it, rose sickness will not be a problem.

Ginvzt, there are some lovely roses that have beautiful, big hips that will provide colour over most of the winter as well as flower on and off all summer. Have a look at those as well before you make your choice.
