Hi I recently purchased a standard rose (1 mth) which the garden centre assured me could remain in the pot for at least the summer, before either repotting or planting. While the buds are flourishing, the lower leaves are all exhibiting a problem - there are a lot of small holes developing on them. I did find quite a few very small caterpillar type (inchworm?) creatures on the underside of some of the leaves, which I removed by hand. However I am just wondering if the holes are indicative of a pest or a disease, perhaps from being in too small a pot? Any advice welcome... Thanks in advance

I have a small garden with quite a bit of ivy around the perimeter which seems to house dozens of snails - today a number of them seem to have migrated in large numbers to my lawn and plants (not sure why, possibly the warm wet weather?). I've laid a beer trap for them tonight. My question: is there anything I can spray on the ivy to reduce the numbers.
