My Gabriel Oak has got lots of blackspots. Anyway its Nov and its fine for me. I thought i would worry too much if roses get blackspots, but somehow i am not feeling much concerned.
Olivia Rose Austin, Desdemona and Julia Child are the healthiest in my garden.
..some late roses, mostly Austins, and perennials.. Parahebe 'Avalanche' flowers most of the year.. ..Polyantha rose 'Marie Pavie' is my longest blooming ... since April 12th non stop..
Beautiful bouquet of roses @Marlorena. I'm sad to say my Parahebe has died on me, probably due to my neglect, I kept meaning to dig it up and plant in a better spot but never got round to it. I'll buy some more next year, I really liked it and as you say, it's a jolly good 'doer'.
@newbie77 I have both Eglantyne and Gentle Hermione. I’m not personally that keen on the scent of GH, it sort of takes you aback, but others love it. I do love everything else about it. It forms a larger, more robust shrub than Eglantyne. Eglantyne on the other hand has a very beautiful, delicate charm to it. I think it depends what size shrub you want, and if you like myrrh fragrances.

How is fragrance of Gentle Hermione? Which Austin does it resembles to?
I really shouldn't get any more roses but i am thinking may be just one more. I am thinking between Eglantyne and Gentle Hermione...
