..hey Daniel thanks!.. I'm glad someone does.. lol... I'll be closing it in a couple of weeks, I didn't intend to go much further than that... I should have covered most of my roses by then... and summer holidays !...
You have beautiful roses, Marlorena! Do you mind saying which roses grows well in your shade? You mentioned some time ago about your shady rose border.
@evelin... thank you... nice to see you here too !. These are the roses I have in a shady border.. the shade is caused by my property blocking the sun, not by trees or large shrubs... it is otherwise open... but north facing.. They get a little sun first thing, less than 1 hour...then none at all until about 3 pm from May to July... virtually none at all the rest of the year.. I have put in brackets where these roses are normally sold... they are all blooming really well for me, even the new ones..
From my experience, most shrub and floribunda roses will grow well in these conditions... .I would not grow hybrid tea roses there... they demand more sun and would not perform well..
..whatever happened to summer? totally different to last year, but it's more a normal year I think... one day of heat due soon, 30C likely... I look forward to that and will do absolutely nothing in the garden but drink shandy..
'Bathsheba'.. nice blooms on a quite unruly climber.. for a fence or wall, not arch I think..
'Chandos Beauty'... just beautiful...
'Absolutely Fabulous' with Phlox 'Barfourteen'...
Hypericum 'Magical Beauty'.. with roses and Orlaya..
