@Omori, not really. Just a kind person suggesting it's new growth. I'm not convinced though as it doesn't look like the new growth on my other Tantau HT, bought and planted at the same time.
My main concern (caused by excessive googling) is that it's rose rosette disease and all my roses are going to die. I doubt that it's that as RRD isn't prolific in the UK (yet) and I bought my rose from a UK grower, but if it's rose replant disease i should probably pop that rose in a pot to coddle it.
I'm LOVING your Boscobel - It's definitely going on the wish list!
@katsa I’ve had a couple like that. I’m inclined to think it’s just a weak plant in some way, or perhaps there’s something going on in that particular spot of soil we don’t know about, if it’s a newish garden to us. The good news is they tend to settle in and rebound the following year with stronger growth.
Thanks @edhelka and @Omori - i think it was struggling as a rose has been planted in the same place (for less than 2 years). i've lifted it and placed it in a pot and will keep an eye on it over the coming months.
@micmarg will be interesting to compare how our R Hansa's do. Your imposter is definitely bigger than mine but the blooms are remarkably alike.
@Omori that is such a stunning shot of your Boscobel. It really is a beauty.
No much happening here apart from roses being battered by wind and rain. Eustacia Vye looked untouched after the first day but on the second day when I got home from work she had exploded and petals everywhere. I have quite a few in bud for their second bloom and really hoping this weather settles so they can open undisturbed.
A couple of pictures from my slug hunt the other evening.
I like your night garden @poppyfield64 .. especially those lights..and the high border edging.. what's that made of please?
..as my soil is all used up for roses, and seeing all the lovely hydrangeas everywhere at the moment, I've just ordered 4 from Signature Hydrangeas... so looking forward to receiving those.. everywhere is sold out of most things..
@Omori ...oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one.. I think they go so well in rose gardens because when our roses get all black spotty come July, the Hydrangea season just starts, and they are so fresh .. ...I've ordered 2 x 'Fraudenstein'... which I keep reading as Frankenstein but never mind.. I think they look nice.. 1 x 'Libelle' which is a white lacecap with AGM 1 x Magical Colourdream.. I thought the colour mix was quite nice ..
...most are sold out so it was a case of choosing from what was left, but I think I might have chosen these in any case... so I'm quite pleased about that and don't feel as though I've getting leftovers so to speak..
...talking of Hydrangeas, my 'Phantom' is rising from the depths today.. Lilium 'Casa Blanca'.. 'Marie Nabonnand'..
Beautiful @Marlorena and I agree, they're a good companion. I'm thinking about buying Kyushu and Vanilla Fraise, all of mine are either lace caps or mop heads, so would be nice to try something different.
