  • Philip, I'm full of admiration for your "free" roses from seeds and cuttings, and definitely feel inspired to have a go.   :)

  • @Liriodendron,..oh do have a go at cuttings as they are so easy and in no time you will have lots of rose bushes,..some will resemble the parent rose,..others will have a change,..roses from seeds take a lot longer approx 16 weeks from seed and that is in a Fridge on a moist kitchen towel within a plastic bag plus being treated.

    You could also be lucky enough to find that a rose hip which fell to the ground in Autumn and lay there until Spring had produced a green bud,..plant it in a pot as you would with a seedling leaving the green bud exposed.

  • Happy Christmas Philip,a lovely card.
    I'm finally updated with a new device,and am learning to take pics! Not before time.😊
    The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
  • @nultyphilip224 - my Rosa glauca seeds itself around the garden, so I already have a baby growing on.  However, I'd love to propagate a couple of my other roses, by cuttings, I think.  Lovely to give the new plants as presents... not much room in my current garden!

         Rosa Glauca,..that's a rose i have not come across for years and its being around a very long time,..i had connections with three Victorian Estates and one had Rosa Glauca,..i thought wrongly that it was a native wild rose and got a telling off,..oh yes cuttings when turned into rose bushes are a great present,..you will be popular.

  • Floods,..to the right of the middle there is a small white dot,..that is the little bridge i cross with Foxy Molly,..this area being so flat floods every year so i have to walk the dog on the opposite side,..its higher.


    The meadows are also well under water.
