Please keep in mind the old story about blind men that cannot move describing the elephant from where they are standing.

Here is a link that might be useful: link for above

As far as I know, Rose Replant Disease is a definite issue in Europe; I gather it's particularly bad in England,but I've read that it -supposedly-is less of a problem in the USA. However,in any case, I would strongly advise you to amend the old rose hole with lots of new organic matter, and I'd change the soil, too.Every time I dig up a rose to move it, I always get left with a big, empty hole anyway...bart

I'm with Ken. As long as you prepare the hole as you would with a new hole, you should be fine. We aren't growing 'crops' of roses, but putting them in their permanent place. Unless the former rose was diseased, I don't see the need to replace the soil. Just add some new soil or amendments.

I wonder if it does not depend on the type of soil.(I have lots of clay) and possibly also on the temperature (the growth inhibitor may stay around longer in colder climates).

I follow Paul Zimmerman's advice.

With my space constraints if I did that I'd never be able to plant another rose! I reuse holes all the time. I've never noticed any problem in doing so. I reuse pots and potting soils too. Same thing...no problems.

I reuse holes too... I figure if one rose grew well so would another one...

Has anyone been successful planting 2 roses in the same hole?

At the same time?

I have to admit that i have been trying to get 2 climbers, blaze improved & white dawn to grow in a location adjacent an arbor where i previously had a perfume breeze climber. i removed the perfume breeze because it never attained the height i wanted relative to the arbor. It was in the location for 3 years.

This spring i ammended the soil with lots of compost, manure etc, and yet these 2 roses ( mentioned above) have been sitting there for months now. It’s like they are just in idle. I’m baffled why they won’t break new canes, show any development. Roses nearby are all exhibiting some kind of growth / change post flowering in late May/ June.

i have read about this as well, but i suppose without scientific data to completely answer our questions, well I suppose we remain in the dark. Go ahead and make your changes and see what evolves. good luck.

First year sleep, second year creep, third year leap....or so goes the old adage concerning roses and climbers especially. I suspect your PB had not yet finished its leap phase unless it experiences die-back or just isnt a tall enough climber at best, and the same thing for your new climbers. They are an investment in time. How long have they been in this location?

When I was originally planning my arbour I started growing the climbers in pots to give them their sleep year while I building the structure. They could barewait to be out of their prisons!

I’ve read that perfume Breeze matures at about 6’ in height. I just got into climbing roses in the last 4-5 years so my knowledge is small. When i bought the perfume Breeze from home Depot i did not know what variety climber it was. That awful plant killing store just labeled it as a climber, and so I rescued the plant.

After 2 years of nice growth i finally figured out the name of the rose and was disappointed to learn it only tops out at about 6-8’ tall.

The white dawn and blaze improved werewe’re just planted this spring, April 2022. i certainly do not expect them to even reach 4-5’ but at least put on a few inches.

The reason I’m so baffled about there seemingly idle state is other roses newly planted first year this spring continue to show nice growth.

thanks so much.
