Allotments 4 All

Hi

This may sound like a silly question but here it goes.

I have a rambling rose (Ena Harkness) growing from a large container onto an arch and it is doing fine and in full bloom. 

IN spring this year, I grew some morning glories that someone on A4A gave me and they are doing terribly well too - I planted one in the same pot as the rambling rose. 

My question is : the morning glory has grown up the arch around the rose.  Is it possible that it may "strangle" the rose and kill it ????  If so, I would need to retrieve the glory.

Thanks for any help with this subject.   ;D :D ;D

Hi Marianne,  Don't worry the Morning Glorys wont strangle the rose, they are annual and will die off over winter.

Thanks for your response Deeds.  That has reassured me. :D :D

I'm sure they won't harm the rose, as has been said, BUT you may have tens of seedlings next year if we have a mild winter - I've been pulling them up for about a month now.  ;D

Hi Rosa Mundi,  I noticed they have sprouted up where I least expected them !  they took ages to "take off" in the colder whether but now they seem to have gone completely mad - my garden looks like a mini jungle !

;D :D
