Here are the container David Austin Roses now. Yesterday I bought more potting soil so I could pot up Boscobel too. They are on wheeled dollies so I can move them as needed for shade, light, and turn them around etc.
I also pruned the Vanessa Bell Rose that overwintered, to one foot tall. I think that will give stronger stems and more compact shape. I didn't want to prune off stems that were already growing, but I don't think that will really hurt anything.
Current weather is mid-50s F, intermittent showers, rain, sun, cloudy. I think that's a good start and tender shoots get a chance to acclimate before potential sunburn weather.
