@Tack .. sorry you can't find that rose available right now.. it does get a bit of black spot if that makes you feel any better about not getting it.. .. we might do Beales again in September, just to see what's repeating.. but I'm not sure any of us can make firm plans at the moment.. I'd like to think my vaccine antibodies will hold out till then.. ?..
Hybrid Tea or Floribunda - What’s the difference? Not much!
I think there are typical floribundas (20% of the roses of these classes), typical HTs (20%) and then the rest somewhere between. And shrubs... better not even start on that
@Marlorena I like your veronica, it looks like a really good plant to have. Is it a group of three?
'Crépuscule' 'General Schablikine', one of my favourites among the newbies Phlox starting flowering and allium sphaerocephalon... I need more of them 'La Belle Rouge' To go with Crépuscule, I have these California poppies ('Peach sorbet') dotted in my vegetable bed. Sown late (May), only now flowering. 'Eyes for You'
Thanks for your thoughts on my HT/Flori ramblings @Tack, @Marlorena and @edhelka. Yes so many are somewhere in-between. It doesn’t matter what it classed as if you like the rose, but it does make choosing the right rose for the right spot in the border tricky. I was just a bit disgruntled to find an ‘HT-style’ ramrod cane on a ‘Floribunda’ towering lopsidedly over the rest of the rose! DA’s do that too of course, the famous octopus canes, but in a more graceful way, somehow, than the Kordes/Tantaus.
Please do keep rolling on Marlorena 😃
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Lovely sudden clusters of the Inherited Cream climber

Blackspot has really kicked in now. Dr Jamain is a mess.

Barkarole has done very well in previous years, with flowers that lasted weeks on the plant, but this year they are barely opening and are going over. No new canes at all - much less happy. Maybe it need more copious water. It is underplanted with erigeron. I might move that and see if it does any better. It might just be an odd year...
@Fire I think that's 'Creme de le Creme'.. without knowing where it came from, that would be my best guess.. the foliage and buds look just about right..

..yes it is.. there's a bit more to it, I couldn't get it all in the photo.. I'd certainly like more of it..
