My neighbor let me know (I do not live in The Villages full time) that I have a rose tree that is leaning and needs to be stabilized and straightened.

Was wondering if there were recommendations for company that does this type of work.
I'm leery of some guy with "a business card, a cell phone and a truck"

(I have tried several things to add a picture of it to this post but have been unsuccessful)

You do not say when it was planted or when you will be back. Right now it is our cold season. Your rose is not growing much. Tree roses are actually a graft onto what you might call the trunk. In cold areas you are told to protect even bury the top, grafted section. Assuming your tree rose was not hit with something that cracked to main tap root, it will be fine till you can GENTLY force it back to vertical. If, the tap root has been broken, it will never be any good.

Soak the soil with a drip line for a day before you try to straighten. Less risk of breaking the roots
