Beautiful photos @edhelka and agree that the lobelia is stunning. I've tried growing in our main garden but the chicken loves the flowers too much, along with my campanula flowers.
It's been a very dreary, drizzly day today but my roses all seem to be doing well and it's lovely to see some colour.
My favourite today is my first bloom on Shropshire Star. Such an amazing pop of colour.

Shropshire Star is certainly giving Alexander a run for his money - you might start another orange rose rush there @poppyfield64!
Lady Emma Hamilton has finally decided to give me some blooms, very late to the party and showing a range of colours from near yellow to peach and apricot (the actual pale yellow on the obelisk is Golden Celebration).
Gertrude Jekyll’s second flush is coming along nicely:
La Rose de Molinard is thoroughly miserable in the rain:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
..well I won't be getting La Rose de Molinard if it can't cope with rain... nice roses Nollie, good to see Lady Emma doing better for you now and a proper colour..
@poppyfield64 ..delighted you have some nice roses,.. and I hope the new ones do well for you, keep in touch about these..
..all looking good edhelka.. I think Silas Marner needs to improve its weather resistance..
Yes I’m disappointed in RdeM @Marlorena, since those buds formed and developed, the rain has been pretty light and intermittent. Plus it’s stubbornly refusing to grow much higher than a foot. Maybe it doesn’t like my humidity. If it doesn’t improve by the end of the season I will replace it. Shame, the fragrance is really strong.

@Marlorena Yes, I think it needs to generally improve. I am somewhat meh about the plant itself but I still like the fragrance and the cute button eye. We will see. I plan to keep it in the pot because otherwise the blooms would be all on the ground. Maybe it will be a better plant when it gets bigger and stronger.
