Herbaceous Potentillas generally have strawberry like foliage, being usually 3 leaves in one. Geum foliage is either entire or somewhat pinnate. Geum flowers often have showier stamens in the flower.

Most evergreens should be transplanted between November and April. In Cork, you should have little problem planting any time in the dormant season. Up here in Meath, I would normally wait until April so that young growth is not damaged by late frosts which would set the plant back.

Some areas of Central Coastal California Brugmansia - Angel's Trumpet trees can grow to more than 30 ft (10m) tall. Here's one here a couple of miles from where I live which is 25ft (7.6m) tall (it's the link below).
We have a much milder subtropical climate here in San Diego than in all of Greece. Our latitude is at about 32 degrees. Our temps in winter are much, much warmer than Greece. My coastal inland climate is very similar to Alexandria, Egypt; however, the winter heatwaves here can get warmer than there because of our very hot, dry Santa Ana Winds.

It explains how to cope with honeysuckle problems on the link I have given. It does say destroy affected parts of the plant at the end of the season. It should say do not allow dead affected leaves to lie around as they will overwinter spores of the fungus and you will have it again the following year. It definitely does not mean chuck the plant away. A mulch on the soil after you get rid of affected leaves etc will help keep the spores from becoming active the following Spring. Good luck with it.

Any time the tree is not in leaf. However, if necessary you can repot in Summer provided to make sure to keep it well watered and shade the plant for a few weeks. Root disturbance should be done with care, e.g. teasing some roots out of the rootball is probably sufficient.
If it is root bound, I would leave it until Spring when you can tease out the roots well to prepare them for their new home.
On question - When is the best time to re-pot ...
That is doing well...

This is difficult with Sweet Rocket as it is a biennial. It is, however, very easy from seed and if allowed to seed around, you will soon have many plants to conjure with.
