Hi all.  
I’m new to gardening. (Ignore the pigeon poop please 🙈)

Have I planted this rose bush correctly?!? It’s been in a few days so not sure if I can take it out and replant it incorrect

Also anyone on with information on plants that help deter pigeons please let me know. 🤞🏻

It looks good to me!

Thank you! I wasn’t too sure if I planted it deep enough 🙏🏻🥰

For the pigeons they do sell spike things you can place where they roost if they are. If they are landing and walking there I don't know. Maybe a cat? 😁

I’m on the 6th floor and I wouldn’t trust a cat as I’m sure they’d jump right off. Spikes did nothing but hoping once these plant go it will improve…

You could try a plastic or other fake owl.
