@newbie77 ..thank you.. I had a feeling somebody had that rose, couldn't place who... mine has a bit fat bud on the top..
Hi all, hoping to get out in the garden a bit this weekend. Do some sorting out and see how things are doing.
It's the only place I can go anyway! Sent home midweek as the class I work with had a positive covid case so we're all isolating until the end of term.
It's sad as it's the Year 6 class and this next week would have been their last at Primary school. Such bad timing.
Anyway we're doing everything we possibly can, remotely to make it a fun week and give them a proper send off regardless.
Does mean I've had absolutely no time to even look out of the window this week!
@cooldoc ... they do look frosted don't they, like late September morning.. has 'Rachel' black spotted and defoliated for you yet?..
.. I don't have room either, so they go in pots, which is the best place for HT's I think, at least in my garden... I out those I don't like, even after just 3 months, and replace with new.. I'm not sentimental with roses but it is a costly way to carry on, I admit..
I’m case anyone is interested, I’ve binned off Ivor’s rose and Claire Marshall by harkness- the first was just too leggy ans sparse and the latter droopy and the plant has no grace as a whole. Oh well 🙃
@Fire I am totally with you on this. I find it such a waste binning a plant/flower... I think if you don’t know anyone to pass it on to, the minimum is to leave it on the side of the road with the sign “please, take me home” for a couple of days. I personally picked up plants like this twice: both are healthy and beautiful and bringing me a lot of joy. I’m also pretty sure everywhere around the country there are small community gardens, which would happily accept a gift of a rose plant.
hi guy, a little advice would be appreciated. I have the rambler Veilchenblau climbing up a small tree, it’s it’s second summer after planting a bare root so flowered really well. However I’m not sure what to do with it now. It’s sent up a couple of new canes from base and some new strong side shoots but where/how do I prune it? I read that to control it’s size to cut off all flowering canes to the ground and just pull them out of the tree? Many thanks in advance

Hope you're all well.
Will try and catch up on posts
Very busy life here too. I wanted to feed roses but I only had short time so just watered pots with hose.
