Message: [QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 255886, member: 5841"] I got into the rose pot-movers today. Took the pots off them and cleaned them, removing the dab of silicone I put over the drain holes I drilled in their centres, these help retain water during the hot months but I don't want it there in the winter. I also replaced all the castors, I take these off when I apply the silicone. Once the roses get a bit bushy, as the movers have mostly only three castors, there's a danger that a gust of wind can topple them over. This would likely mean a broken ceramic pot and they are expensive. I don't need the castors in the summer, as I don't move them around a lot. But I will when the wisteria leaves start to fall. Pruned off a lot of rose foliage with black spot. Then gave them and the soil in the pots a spray of Sulphur Rose. [/QUOTE]
