I'm repotting our rose bushes

When we first moved to this lifestyle village, we bought some cement troughs to go along the front fence. We put rose bushes in three of them and they did really well for several years. But they’ve been struggling a bit lately. We repotted one into a much bigger pot before we went away several weeks ago and when we came home, it was covered in new growth which was nice to see.
Yesterday we repotted another and I’m hoping it will be happy in its new home too. We will more the third one soon too. Next time we’re out and about, I’ll buy some seedlings to put in the troughs to hopefully get a bit of colour along the fence.
Imagine a photo of lovely roses.

Gardening and plant care need a lot!
At our current place, we have a bit of struggle with the sunlight.
I have tried to put more soil into a few plants, turned upside down and watered.
Yet some of the plants are yet to pick up on the regrowth.
A few sturdy ones are going fine.
Time is also a constraint as many a days, I am unable to take out time to do much about the plants and plant care.
I hope that the Roses are having good growth !

Powder? Some sort of manure or pesticide for plants?

Your roses seem to take care of themselves when you are away. Good behaviour (lol)

Don't roses require fertilizer? I don't know. Have a great weekend. Love the photo in my head.

@LindaOHio That's true. I was a bit optimistic putting them into the troughs.

@JudyEv Maybe they just needed to spread their toes a little bit.

It sounds like repotting has done the trick. It would be nice to see them. YOu could take a video and put it on youtube and share the link.

We have very little actual 'dirt' here so just about everything is in pots.
