I don't have many white roses. My favourite is Desdemona. She can be a bit pinkish sometimes. Only drawback is she blooms so much that I get tired of deadheading.

Lovely roses everyone. I can't post much but I read the thread everyday and enjoy seeing photos.

Rose of the day is Princess Alexandra of Kent

..yes it will flower in a shady spot.. I know a garden on IG where it is grown that way, in the shade of a tree and seems to flower as much as mine does..

I went to an NGS open garden today - they had a rose garden at the front.

A lovely mix of aster and verbena bon. It glowed from all the way down the street. It's a good use of a narrow strip by a fence in the sun.

This was my favourite bit of the afternoon.: The colour combination was enchanting, shining in the sudden summer.

Just one for me today - unknown orange floribunda. Pretty ruffled edges and open stamens.

Tack · September 2021

I don't know what to show so limiting pics to garden today (plumbago the exception, out in the garden but obvs in a pot)

Beautiful @Tack - what’s that blush / mauve rose please?

Tack · September 2021

Thank you @Ffoxglove, if you mean the double rose and buds cluster, The Generous Gardener, the others in that collage are Strawberry Hill and Blackberry Nip.

Ffoxglove · September 2021

Thanks @Tack - they’re all beautiful! I planted GG at my folks’ house and it’s going really well - bushy, floriferous… not very tall yet but I’m sure it will.

On the subject of climbers / how do you stop them getting leggy? I fanned my Susie climber out nicely ans assumed shoots would come from the canes but none did and it’s just flowering on the very ends. What am I doing wrong?

Victoria Sponge · September 2021

Ah, that's good news @Marlorena, thank you. I especially wanted a single repeat flowerer for that spot.

Some fab colour mixes in the last few posts!
