I have a princess alexandra rose, which has had lots of flowers on in its first year, i have it in a large pot. Unfortunately it looks as though it is going to be a little bit straggly in shape ~ is there anything i can do about that? also any suggestions for underplanting so that it will look attractive in winter/spring?

many thanks seaburngirl, i have got some violas ready to plant so that worked out well.
just looked at your blog, those colchiums ~ naked ladies look terrific ~ perhaps they prefer being called naked ladies cos they certainly look better than mine!

they have been in for about 8 yrs now and they seem to thrive on neglect :o)

I would assume you would prune it back in the spring. this will solve the straggly type. as for underplanting i would go for violas as they are sall and neat and very pretty.
