    ..your Etoile is looking good Adrian... bet you get a nice scent from that..
    ..Hfletcher... nice rose, thanks for showing it today... very healthy isn't it?
    @p_c_n
    ...I'm sorry I don't know your rose, perhaps someone else here might know it, but I don't... I do hope you find out in due course.. it would help if you knew how long ago it was planted, or where it was bought from..

    ...if your roses have not been in the ground long, I mean less than a year, you shouldn't have a problem... normally one gets this with roses that have been in the ground for 3 years plus, although I've noticed it happening a lot sooner than that in my garden... but I take it yours are more recently planted, so really not much to worry about.. just replant them early this autumn with appropriate amendments that you plan to do..

    @peteS
    ...yes you could do that by all means... it helps... it's also the only occasion I would use mycorrhizal fungi if I had any to hand...
    Your roses are looking very nice...

    @Poppypuss
    ..I've just noticed your gorgeous white rose.. what a shame you've lost the label... very lovely.. I have one similar, but not quite the same as that..

    @Marlorena, 1 was planted this year, 2 in 2019 and 1 in 2018.  Does that affect your advice at all?

    ...don't let that put you off... I would give some extra attention to the one planted in the hole 2018, but this isn't too long really..  do you have any mycorrhizal fungi?  I no longer use it but it is useful in these circumstances... you just never know with these things, sometimes you see nothing wrong, other times you notice the problem quite soon...  but at the worst you should see a fairly quick recovery if there are any problems initially.. they haven't been in there long enough to do immense damage..

    Thanks very much!

    Could anyone ID this rose please. It's been a mystery for about 10 years now. Up until about 3 years ago it was the first and only rose I had bought, planted in the wrong spot, but it performs every year. The flowers are about 2 inches across, flat with a mildish scent, if you bury your nose into it. It is very thorny, and never wants to grow much more than 3 foot. It is definitely a DA rose, that much I do remember. Many thanks.

    ..you have some fabulous roses... love your Mme. IP.. bet you love the scent too and your Ancient Mariner is doing really well..  I did not like it in the first year too much..

    @peteS
    ...your thorny pink DA is 'Harlow Carr'...

    ..I would love White Perfumella... I've often looked at that one...

    Thank you Marlorena, a very long mystery solved. It does actually make sense, as I have had a long fascination with Harlow Carr, which as you no doubt know is an RHS garden in Yorkshire, which is less than 2 hours drive from where I live, and it's a place I've been striving to visit for many many years, but as yet not managed it.
