    Looks like Eton mess.  Someone might like it. I sort of feel sorry for it. I could've been a contender and all that😭
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    ...and I rather like this new one from Peter Beales.. a hybrid tea called 'Liverpool Hope'  named after a University which has a nice garden apparently..

    Oh go on, Marlorena, I know you are secretly jealous and want it for your collection.  No idea what it is, it came with the house but it has never been so spectacularly bad as this year. I am going to have to commit rosicide when OH, who feels sorry for it, is away... you two would get on, B3.

    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth :)

    Oh @Busy-Lizzie , what fantastic roses - I'm so envious!  And you have the space for them as well!

    Thank you. Most of my roses aren't quite out yet and some are tatty after the heavy rain.

    Beautiful roses... great to see them grown so freely as in Busy Lizzie's garden... I've long wanted Pierre de Ronsard...

    Eustace... two nice roses... are they scented?   the bottom one looks a bit like 'Double Delight' but I can't be sure from the photo...

    I saw the most stunning rose today... no photos as it was planted against a house wall by a front door … I recognised it straight away as 'Warm Welcome'...  which may not be to everyone's taste, but a bright orange rose, and this is shockingly, brilliantly bright, I think surrounded by evergreens or some white, can have its place... I was so taken by it, I'm thinking of getting one for my mixed border, where I have lots of bright colours..

    Garden writer Helen Dillon had it in her Dublin garden before she sold.. Monty Don saw it on a visit and remarked - puzzlingly - about it...  It's a real shocker of a rose that startles.. bred by Chris Warner,.. who breeds some great roses...
