 :) how long  can roses live if they are under water/ waterlogged?

at the moment they seem fine, everything else on that part of my plot has gone yellow and died, :(

Don't know really never experienced such a thing.

I would have guessed a fair amount of time considering their root system i.e it is quite woody relative to most flowers & veg, and more so if they are species grafted onto stock of wild rose origin

Hello

Roses don't like to be waterlogged is there any way to remove the roses and replant them in a drier conditions.

When the water as gone down you replant them, As you know that you can't replant a rose where another has been but there is a solution to this what you do is dig a hole get a cardboard box but box in the hole and plant the rose as normal this stops the rose from getting rose sickness and a year or so the cardboard will have rotted and your roses will be healthy i have done this a couple of times now all's o.k

It depends how deep the water is, but I've had them survive in very waterlogged ground for a significant amount of time, about a fortnight as I recall, although this was in winter. By the way, there is an easier way of solving the problem of "rose sickness" - a product called Rootgrow, which is beneficial fungi that you mix into the planting hole; they encourage root growth. I've read that rose growers have successfully planted one rose in the space that they've taken another out of using this, with spectacular results.

They'll grow in fairly claggy clay soil, so I probably would worry more about roses in drought. I'd keep an eye on them and as long as they look happy, leave them be..
