I have a beautiful yellow - flowering rose called 'Freedom' which was given to me as a gift. I'm wondering if I can plant it in a large pot and train it up a very sunny wall by my front door?.

I have roses planted along each side of my drive-way, but some are badly diseased and need to be removed. What kind of plant/s would be most suitable to put in the subsequent gaps?
I moved into this house 4 years ago and there was a rose bush outside, i don't know how many years its been there, it is beautiful but i think it could be a climbing rose, it has grown very tall, it is a bit exposed and has no shelter, i have put bamboo sticks and gardening tape around it but with the wind it is still breaking, i have a shed outside with a flower bed in front of it and wondered would it be better protected there growing against a wall, if l wait and move it in october when i cut it back would i damage the rose bush if it has been in that spot for years, i have only discovered gardening this year and am really only a beginner and don't want to ruin the rose bush, thanks
I know around November is the ideal time to move roses but my friend is moving house and will be gone by July. She has a beautiful yellow rose she cannot leave behind. If she moves it now by digging with minimum disturbance to root, should she cut it back first ? and what are the consequences of moving roses at wrong time of year. Will it just not flower well next year or could it die ?
When do you take clipping from roses to sow?
My dad died recently and we're in the process of clearing his house. There's a rose bush in front garden which my mother planted that I want to try and take as the garden is being paved. It's an old bush but flowers beautifully each year, Turkish delight scent! What is best way to give it a chance of surviving. It's not been cut back this year?
