I just got camellia rose. But I don't recall any disease and it went straight into the ground. It has bloomed a few times since planting, just a few blooms. My thoughts are these need to be in the ground. Noisettes ,imo ,seem to do good in ground vs pots. Probably because they are a bigger rose, and they want to get big.

I too would put them in the ground. I empathize with your having more gardening tasks than you can handle. Every journey starts with a single step, but there is no stopping is the problem.

On the other hand, a lot of gardens could benefit from some editing. I am no fan of Marie Kondo's extreme measures in discarding our possesions, but there is real value in going through your garden and getting rid of plants that you only keep because of guilt, not pleasure. If you find this difficult to do all at once, try doing it in several passes spaced over a period of time with pauses in between for evaluation and reflection.

Your garden exists to bring you joy. It might bring you more joy if you actually love all the plants you grow, and you grow a number that you can manage without exhaustion or stress.

What Rosefully says is so true, and as we age being selective in our roses becomes even more important. We have only so much energy, and it tends to diminish over time. A number of years ago, I ran out of space, and this really forced me to edit my collection if I want to indulge in a new purchase. Mostly, I'm just satisfied with what I have, which really helps the decision making. Diane

I also think noisettes would prefer to be in the ground to be healthy.
