"I wasn't forthcoming enough at first to deserve it"
Of course, you deserve it ! I cannot tell you how many times I have dug up a stressed rose and put it in a container until I found a better spot for it ...
I just couldn't quite visualize how you had planted it.
As long as you are thinking of it as a temporary fix, planting DB in a container and moving it to where it can have more sun is probably the right decision for that plant. It will outgrow the container, even if it is a large container.
Most of my garden is full sun in heat zone 8. It's been a real challenge to find the right roses to grow in this garden. I gave away 9 roses last year and planted 10 new ones and moved 6 other roses. I have several more than I plan to relocate, but I am still trying to learn about other plants that will work well in this climate. I've already made plenty of mistakes that have taught me to ask more questions.
I would love to grow clematis, but I think the blooms would fry in my garden.
I did plant 3 heucheras last year and, to my mind, only one of them is thriving. I may be moving the other two.
Gardens are a work in progress and I just happen to think that's the best part of gardening.
Smiles,
