@Marlorena (and anyone else interested) thought I’d update you as you were interested in how Jude the Obscure coped in rain, this is from this morning after yesterday’s crazy rain and wind:
Some others:

@Nollie I think rowses react to weather and can get used to hot weather (a bit like hardening but the other way). When it's hot for a long time or when the weather is steadily getting hotter, they adapt and produce more heat resistant blooms. But when it is sunny after days of cold and rain, the blooms fry almost immediately, even here.
So many posts since I last looked in! Yes I agree my fried roses are probably due to rain/temperature swings, although The PT did that before the wild weather, when the temps were steadily climbing but not that hot either, plus it’s mostly in a rain shadow, so I think it’s just not that weather tolerant full stop. Interesting what you say about roses acclimatising to heat I haven’t really observed that here, the ones that do poorly in heat and ball in rain, like LEH, have stayed that way, whereas some are just robust from the start. Fascinating how climate results in different experiences, even of the same rose...
I am sooo green with envy of you all buying roses just now! I would love to get some on my wish list and pot them up to see how they do before planting out, I was extremely close to pressing the ‘buy’ button on a Kordes order from Germany, who will post potted roses here, but deliveries are still pretty erratic and it’s too hot now to trust they would get here alive and in one piece!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I'm having to press pause on the buy button too @Nollie, as I may or may not be moving...until then I shall live vicariously
Regarding taking cuttings, you know how some roses say may be illegal to propagate etc, is that just for commercial use? Not that I imagine anyone will be knocking down our doors, just wondering as I'm thinking to get some cuttings going if it does end up that I'll be moving. I'm wondering if I can do so with a clear conscience
Forgot to say earlier @fire I really like your red with the blue door, looks very mediterranean and inviting.
@Omori ..I'm impressed with Jude... and your little collage of roses is splendid I must say.. ..no need to worry about propagation for personal use, it doesn't apply... it's only if you sell them, or give them away to someone who then goes on to sell them, like a Charity shop or car boot sale... but then who would ever know..?.
Evening folk ,is there anyone out there who can tell me the name of this climbing rose ? I purchased it about 3 years ago from b and q I think but was reduced in price as it was looking very poorly . Took a chance and planted it with a good scoop of horse manure , it's up the side of a home made arch but have lost the name tag for it ,any ideas greatly appreciated as would like to purchase another ,many thanks😀
Ah, well, we shall just have to stick to dreaming then @Omori - I agree, @Marlorena Omori’s collage is lovely. Can anyone help out Johnny with his ID above? Unless I missed a reply somewhere, I think his post got lost...
And thanks for replying @Dovefromabove. Can I throw the question out and ask if anyone has ever moved a Bonica? I have a better spot in mind and was wondering if it was one of those roses that resented being moved?

Ty @Marlorena and @Nollie and that is good to know about the propagation
PS @Nollie... in case you don't get a more direct response, I haven't moved Bonica but I never hesitate to move a rose if it needs moving. Some have sulked more than others (Boule de Neige sulked for a long time before finally settling in and putting on nice growth), but in my experience, roses are so resilient, I just wouldn't do it when it's hot and dry.
@Johnnyp ..looks like climbing Westerland to me... but I've no idea what b an q sell normally or where they source their roses.. 'Compassion' can look similar, colours vary a lot... and the foliage is very much alike..
..one or the other I would have thought.. some more photos of freshly opening buds and blooms might help, and preferably without any sun on them..
@Marlorena I have a rose that has just started to flower which is meant to be Anne Boleyn but the flowers don’t quite look right for that rose! I know u have it so just wondered if it looks right to u?
I know first flower can be different a bit but it doesn’t look even close enough to it although hopefully I’m wrong!
@Daniel Rutherford ...I've never seen Anne Boleyn look remotely like that Daniel... and even though new, I struggle to see it becoming the true Anne Boleyn... where did you get it?..
