I planted this Markham's pink (and a second one in my side garden) about two months ago. It's been doing really well, growing, looking healthy. Today I noticed it's looking limp.

The only thing I can think of that changed is I added some specialist clematis food. I've got a soil moisture checker arriving later but water level seems ok? It's in the ground with a large flat stone covering the roots. What's happening?

This is a Blue Diamond clematis, grown in a large ceramic pot in the UK, south facing position. Every year it starts out looking beautiful and healthy, then deteriorates. What is wrong?

I'm looking for a climbing rose to fill a gap in my border against a wall. I already have one with small pink flowers (pictured. fairy something?) that looks beautiful and does very well.

The spot gets a good amount of sun. I'd prefer something not pink / red, that flowers generously and will cover a lot of the wall which is around 5-6ft higher than my border.

Any recommendations?

I found a bee on my patio on its back. As I was going to move it one of the legs moved. I've put out some honey water and flowers but it doesn't seem interested. It's barely moving.

Is it just this bees time? 🥺
