Tips for planting roses

[M&M's Mommy]

Thanks for all the advices.

We planted 9 bushes, in the order of purple, light orange, deep red, yellow/pink, orange/red, yellow, hot pink, white, and orange color. Each are about 2 feet apart from each other & 1 foot apart from the block wall.

Since everybody had warned me about planting them well apart & I assume that means more than 2 ft. Unfortunately that's what we did (when I got home, hubby already digged the holes).. so I want to know what's the worst that could happen because of planting them too close to each other.

Two feet you'll definitely be okay for a few years. The problem is when they get too close they can morph into a different kind of rose. My mom had this happen twice and her long stemmed roses turned into climbers! It has to do with what is in their history I think.
