Haha! No worries @celcius_kkw! I really like ehlo pots and they suit me to the ground. I love your photos. Do you use a proper camera or phone?

@poppyfield64 I have seen that variety whilst googling, it does look beautiful

Regarding deadheading, if I’m in a rush I just snip it off and come back later to do it more properly...ie, to a good leaf.

Here’s a few I took while deadheading this morning after yesterday’s downpour.

‘Alexander’ bud:

‘Desdemona’ going into another flush, lots of buds:

‘Well Being’, floribunda from Harkness:

‘Fetzer Syrah Rosé’, another floribunda from Harkness, in a too exposed to the wind site...would do better elsewhere I think:

Not great to look at yet but doing well. B&Q cheaply priced White climbers bought just as lockdown started. Excuse the mess but rest of bed is a work in progress .😅

@Omori...I love Fetzer Syrah, it's definitely my type of rose. It looks like it's stood up to all the hideous weather of late as well... But I can't find it on Harkness Roses, is it under another name.

Thanks @peteS I found the listing but it says it's sold out:

https://www.roses.co.uk/fetzer-syrah-ros-pot-grown

https://www.roses.co.uk/shrub-roses-bare-root/fetzer-syrah-ros-bare-root

It is really floriferous and copes with this exposed site.

Thanks for that @Omori. Are you aware of any other suppliers who might sell it.

Omori · July 2020

@peteS Unfortunately no but it might be found under another name:

'Harkness introduced this rose twice, first under the name 'Madrigal,' in 1998, and then again as 'Fetzer Syrah Rosé' in 2006. It was also marketed as 'King Arthur' of the "English Legend Roses" series.'
