I bought two more roses than I have space for at the moment. I'm using them as shrub roses at present and hoping I can move them to a climbing spot later in the year. Alternatively could they be trained as shrub roses?
I've heard that roses do not take kindly to being moved about. TIA

They don't like being moved - put them in a tub for now, then you can just lift the whole lot out when you have a permanent place for them. I had my Seagull rose in a tub when I first bought it - it eventually shot out of the bottom of the tub and right up the back of the house, it's wonderful at this time of year.
I am confused are they shrub roses or climnbing roses as they are two completely different things.
Question Author
Good morning. Sorry for the slow response, I've been away for three days.
The roses are climbers, should have made that clearer. Because I did not have the space at the fence for them to climb I put them in the border as an ordinary (shrub) rose. My query is can they be left to grow as shrub roses, or should I take a chance on moving them later on?
