@sarinka Anti Basset hound trampling defence system
The roses can defend themselves in summer, but in winter I have to put canes round... theres an arch ive made in the middle with canes for them to use as a cutaway though!
Sorry to ask a question again, I'm still considering what rose to put on my main fence (Paul noel relegated to a North facing site) my latest idea is to intermingle sanders white with an Alexandre girault, will that work or are they too big for each other? Will they try and outcompete each other and both fail, Tia for any thoughts....
@Marlorena - I have used it last year to put videos on, like the one of the bees in my garden. I imagine it would be handy for answering questions if it's something that's easier to show rather than describe.
Used it a LOT for school, did all sorts of videos during Lockdown 1. We did a lot of songs and musical performances where I edited together all the parts from videos sent by the children.
@Mr. Vine Eye ..oh ok... keeps you busy... if you develop a garden channel I'm sure some of us would be happy to 'subscribe', if you needed any... I've heard youtubers need 'subscribers' for various reasons.. dunno anything about it myself.. ..Rosemary looks good..
@Rickyjones24 .. I posted a photo earlier, maybe the other thread, of an arch where I had 'Alexandre Girault' growing on it... I've clipped it below... reason to show again, is because you can see another arch in the background... that had 'Sanders White Rambler' on it... what you will notice is that 'AG' is in full bloom, 'SWR' is not, although there are masses of bud clusters, it starts to flower 2 or 3 weeks later than 'AG'... so the flowering period will overlap, rather than bloom in unison...
.. if you are happy with that, then go ahead...
..personally, I would ditch 'SWR' and grow a repeat flowering pink climber like in my picture... one like 'A Shropshire Lad' for instance..... just sayin'...
What a rapidly moving thread, so much to catch up on. Lovely rose pics @Te and @didyw .
I've got a DA voucher too @Bright star and am waiting impatiently for the new offerings. What are you hoping for? I'd love a dark red/purple, fragrant shrub and/or a fragrant happy-in-pot, any colour other than salmon or coral (yeuch).
The snow pictures are very pretty, it does make it easy to see the dormant cane structures which I find interesting. Only a dusting here with ice on the standing water.
So my Alexandre Girault has finally, after a week, emerged from the flood, it was mostly totally submerged in that time, I am amazed it looks so good. Still early days as the water is still at soil level as you can see bottom left (the dark patches)and I expect that to be the case for 2 more days. I am glad I have pruned, defoliated and sulpher sprayed already. It really is perishingly cold out. Stay warm All.
I have my eyes on 'Highworth' from Style Roses. Anyone willing to do the sacrifice and try it, so I don't have to? Repeating, with large trusses of blooms, nice flat full flower form, smallish...
What are the optimum conditions for carrying out sulphur spraying during the dormant period, and is the ready to use stuff adequate for the task of does it require a more concentrated mix. I've never used it before, but I had 2-3 roses hit quite badly last summer with BS and thought I would give it a go this year.
I am very interested in whether sulphur will help. I bought a Spanish product (before Brexit) that I mixed myself. I think @Omori used Sulphur Rose last year but disliked the white residue so thought I would try a different brand, probably all the same thing. I will spray again soon I think. I hadn't thought to increase the dose before but while the roses are still dormant I will unless somebody here says not to.

I do a lot of music and computer work!
Miss Jessop has arrived.
