@Ffoxglove, I’m no expert, not having had it before, but I think your problem with Claire Marshall might be Botrytis Blight, that greyish mould looks like it. Warm, damp conditions? Overwatering?
I don’t know if that is my problem with Chateau de Cheverny or not as the drooping, brown buds are dry inside and no sign of mould. No sign of insect damage either, as thrips was my other thought. It clearly came with whatever it is from Agel-Rosen.
Update on Hybrid Tea potted rose Pure Poetry:
This was another potted rose from A-R. I complained because it arrived as a dormant cut down bunch of canes and few roots. They did respond and told me that it was normal to cut down potted roses after flowering, but the label was old and faded and cane cuts were not recent, which makes me suspect it had come out of cold storage and potted up very recently. My impulsive summer purchase of potted roses has been an expensive and not terribly successful gamble, unfortunately. Lesson learnt ☹️
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@edhelka, does Trevor white charge immediately? I'm budgeting for my bare roots so want to plan ahead.
I've just ordered a Lady H @Nollie. Plan to create an orange and lemon bed somewhere and combine with two of my Roald Dahl bushes. Decided to have the front mainly reds/pinks. I've also rodered two Boscobels, a Soul, a Vanessa bell and a Gruss an Aachen from TL.
Really wanted Scept'd isle for the border in the front, but they'd sold out overnight!
I notice that David Austin have been increasing the price of their bareroot roses in March, when they release the new roses each year by 50p. They’re £18.50 now compared with £17.50 when I bought my first ones. So will be £19 next year.
Had the jute out this afternoon and was up my ladder sorting out Malvern Hills. I enjoy tying in climbers, choosing which shoots to use and where to put them. Trying to fill in gaps and keep it horizontal. It’s the first time I’ve been up there properly this year and there’s a lot of vigorous growth, mostly in the right places which is good.
The Generous Gardener has started growing a strong cane low down in exactly the right place to fill in a gap which is good of it. Very generous! 😏
I need Malvern Hills to throw some out lower down too. But it’s doing great for second year. Continuous flowers and covered in new buds.
Excuse the box of tissues in the window, I’d carefully propped it there to shade a pot of cuttings!
@Victoria Sponge TcL don't bill till delivery. Does anyone know how they can be paid? Hopefully Paypal.
That is disappointing @Nollie , I am so pleased with mine from Agel-Rosen, if it wasn't 33.5degC and rising I would go and take a picture. Are any of them thriving?
@Victoria Sponge I will share my orders later today, not much time at the moment. I agree with you, I would also love to hear about other members' orders.
I have a mixed plant border with roses. Some roses are climbers but in other places I prefer different plants. I have some clematises, that are doing very well, 2 different kind of Montanas. Clematis armandi on the other hand is growing in one place for few years, and never really took of properly. One stem died in May, other is dying now. So it will needs replacement. in other place I have honeysucle, very often is semi evergreen, flowers beautifully, but it suffers from mildew, regardless of what I do. I even tried spraying but I would have to do it regularly as 2-3 times a year is not enough and I dont even spray my roses, so it will have to go. On top of it, the mildew is spreading to roses.
Would like something evergreen, so add some interest in winter, and to give nice background to roses during a season. Trachelospermum is not a good idea there, for some reason. Don't want hedera. I'm considering itea ilicifolia, as a wall shrub, but not sure if it would like being trimmed to be kept in place, also, maybe ceanothus, but not sure if it can be trained into a wall shrub. I can propagete Abutilon megapotamicum, but it can looked quite bare in winter. Not sure what to do. What do you grow o your fences? Apart of roses, of course;)

Was stood in the garden this afternoon thinking ‘hmm, maybe if I just moved this over there and that over here’ - dangerous territory, garden’s full!
I certainly don’t have a tab open on the TcL website, and I’m not adding roses to my shopping cart... 😩
