No worries @owd potter. On my iPad, viewing the list of threads, I press on a thread for a few seconds and click on “Copy link URL” — then you can paste the link in a reply
Brilliant. For anyone using a laptop, like me, right click on the tread title does same trick. Another skill mastered, Thanks Sensei...
Thanks @Marlorena I’ve never been to sissinghurst so I wasn’t aware... I orders it because I wanted fragrance and I like that it’s open to insects.
I have failed at not ordering roses so far I’ve bought: sheilas perfume, amber flower carpet, Judi dench, I am Macmillan, Allen chandler, the fairy and Arthur bell this season!
I’m going to put Cumberland on an obelisk out the back and plant Allen chandler our the front! I hope for lots of red roses this year 🙏🙏🙏
Finished the wooden border thing for now. Still have some tidying to do. But work had to stop for hail!
I repotted my latest SGC plants.
This isn't final position of plants, just a handy place to put them. I placed the potted grass to shade Vanessa Bell...
...poor thing! I decided to move her because she was too close to the edge and I wanted something shorter there. But I really messed up the move and butchered her roots in the process.
It could have been worse, I'm sure she'll recover. But she's definitley going to sulk for a while!
My Bathsheba cuttings that I took from the tall cane that snapped last year have rooted. I've potted them both. No home for them but I can't throw baby plants away!
No such scruples with mature ones. I shovel pruned Amber Queen this morning.
A few of my roses seem to be having problems. I wonder if anyone can shed any light on what's going on.
First is Julia Child. The leaves are looking blistered. Graham Thomas. I did spray foliage with Uncle Tom's Tonic a few weeks ago. It's getting plenty of water so not sure why the leaves are drying up.
And Golden Wings is being devoured. Could it be earwigs or is it too early for them?

It felt like well done until I ripped half of Vanessa's roots off! Never transplant when tired and rushing.
