Yeah, Some of my plants work in pots for me and others do much better in the ground. I generally go with what the plant is telling me by how they are doing in the medium I have them in. the little climber is a mini rose climber, I think that I need to put some more compost and slow fertilizers in their ground. and hopefully that will do the trick. But I have no clue on how to prune rose bushes. I am generally a by feel kind of gardener. So when I don't know how or feel how to do something I struggle. And roses have been one of those plants that I struggle with. I love them though and want to keep on trying with them.Our yard is hard too figure out. The backyard can get so hot you can't believe. The front yard doesn't get full son until around 4 p.m. So in the backyard, in the ground, is my only option. They do ok in the backyard butt...it could be better.
