I've tried selecting a rectangle and rotating the box with the rotate tool in a blank layer, but clicking in the box doesn't seem to allow me to resize the rotated box.

I am attempting to remove lens flare by subtracting a rotated gradient that is restricted to a box, but it is quite hard to get the size of the box correct before rotating it. Unfortunately, if I click in the selection box after rotating it, GIMP seems to forget that the box was there.

The advice given here: How to edit existing rectangle selection in GIMP? therefore doesn't seem to work. Is there any other way to resize a rotated selection box?

You need to click on the Transform "Selection" button in the Rotate Tool options, then you can rotate the selection. It's the same with all the transform tools.
