Flo's Christmas Roses

Flo's 3 new climbing Roses were delivered yesterday, so today I spent the morning puting them into the ground. The three were: Teasing Georgia, Shropshire Lad, and Tess of the D'urbervilles (please excuse my spelling). Two went in towards the back of the plot, using the railing next to the shed as their climbing medium. (it is difficult to see them in this picture, but they are there..good luck finding them ;))

The third was planted at the front on the edge of the 'flower garden'.
There was no special attention paid to the soil or any preparation of the bed apart from weeding - basically, I dug a hole and carefully back-filled the soil around the roots, firming them in so the stalks met about 3" below the ground.
