Buttercup looks very pretty and aptly named @Omori. I have a couple of Pheno Geno roses on my list, but since said list needs a good haircut, I may just end up with one.
I like your Belle Vichyssoise @dabolem and the beautiful view! I three new tall/climbing tea/noisettes but only Blush Noisette is doing anything just now, the others are concentrating on growing canes.
Welcome and wow, that looks fantastic @MuseLea, great job! I think I would want an ornamental flowering tree in the left-hand wedge of soil by the fence, some climbing roses over the pergola of course. A mix of workhorse, continuous bloomers (like Julia Child, Marie Pavie) and some roses chosen purely for fragrance - but scent is so personal better to sniff before you buy 😊
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@Nollie I like Noisettes too, Belle Vichyssois in somewhat in shade but blooming anyway
wonderful work @Muselea! I wish I was as good as you in garden design, mine is a mess at the moment.
I just noticed that my Comte de Chambord, which is still in a pot as well as 2 Rose de Rescht and 2 Jacques Cartier, waiting for me to move the azalea little hedge so I can put them instead, is blooming. Unfortunately the sawfly already got at it 😳
I was thinking the same as Nollie @MuseLea, a small ornamental tree of some type would be lovely there. Something with an airy canopy so as not to block light, for example, Amelanchier.
How great to be able to welcome 2 new faces and gardens. It will be great to see roses in another overseas garden and a brand new one here. You've been given great ideas already, I would add DAs England's Rose to a list of trouble-free floriferous scented smaller roses.
Building woes can be set aside for a long weekend but just a peek! 3 problems in just the one pic.Oh I do wish I had kept my Buttercup @Omori, and acquired a yellow lab too for that matter.
At least the roses have never looked better

We do thankfully @newbie77, from 10 years ago, we keep everything! Sorry to sound dramatic, nothing is irretrievable in this house project given time and new parts. There are serious supply issues for everyone not just us.
Another dilemma is that I am finally appreciating Pearl Drift, it was earmarked for passing on. This is much more concerning as like others I have to make room for roses already ordered
@dabolem that belle vichyssoise is really nice. It has been on and off of my shortlist ..
My Gret’s Joy today. My dear OH wants to shovel prune it , the flowers only stay for 3 days . So I made a compromise , we will give it another year . We had the wettest summer since 40 years in Belgium . If then the rose does not perform better she is out !
regarding training of ramblers , my Maria Lisa is becoming an , octopus 😬.wil need to take some time this week to train some really large new growth .
a beginners question my guirlande is a hip forming rose but when do I need to stop deadheading?I have stopped since this week or is that too early ?
Thanks for those suggestions @Nollie. I like the look of Julia Child - good to know you’d consider it a workhorse. That back wedge is earmarked on my design for a small tree but I’ve been very indecisive on what should go there. I’m conscious that anything I plant will steal light from my neighbours at the back (not that they’d be equally considerate but that’s another story...)
I’d be planting a tree purely for interest and height in the garden. As is typical in new builds my rear neighbours upper windows are very very close so I’ve no hope in screening them unless I plant a 5 metre bush about 2 feet from my patio door lol. Instead I’ve opted to draw the eye into the garden with the pergola, a tree etc and accept the neighbours have better things to do than stare at me in my garden.
I’ve seen Amelanchier suggested in the forum a lot in my quest for the perfect small tree @Omori. I’ve never seen one in person though but it is supposed to be a good doer in clay so could work. I like the pictures of the blossom and autumn colour I’ve seen.
I’ll be sure to check out England’s rose @Tack, thanks. I can’t ignore a recommendation from the Chief of Pots. Your roses are looking beautiful. Sorry about the tiles.
There has been a delay with the wrought iron arch I was planning to grow Mortimer Sackler up. How long can he live in the green DA pot? Should I move him to a larger pot temporarily? I likely can’t plant him for another 5 weeks or so. I really shouldn’t have bought him too soon but you know how it is. The rose demanded to come home from DA with me! I’ll buy others as bare roots later when I’m actually ready to plant. I promise.
That is very kind @MuseLea but I am a rose newbie. I have copied @celcius_kkw, @Marlorena et al with their pot knowledge. They will see you right. If DA hadn't sold you that MS it would have stayed in that pot anyway I reckon. They advise early in the year not to pot on roses until the roots fill a pot so the rose shouldn't be potted on just for 5 weeks. Just keep it watered and I dont know whether feeding will make it unhappier with its constraints or give it the nutrition the pot is running out of. Told you I was a newbie. I would compromise with dilute feed.
@Tack You’re now a second year (am I right?) rose gardener now and your potted Rose collection has well surpassed mine!
@MuseLea I am pretty sure your DA rose can stay in the container it came in for five weeks just fine - personally I agree with Tack regarding a diluted feed (half strength) every week or two - I do not think 5 weeks would cause a rose to become too terribly pot bound. In fact I once kept a rose in its DA pot over the whole of winter (4 months) and it was perfectly fine when I came to transplant it in spring.
