@Allyblueeyes It does look like my Easy Does It as well.
All the roses have flopped in the rain, so had to pick some. Sweet Honey, Munstead Wood, China Town and Gabriel Oak.
@pitter-patter. Thank you. I’m so happy that’s what it is. It’s such a lovely rose. Your roses look beautiful and Sweet Honey is right up there with my favourites. Munstead Wood is on my list but I’m rapidly running out of room. I took out a beautiful euphorbia earlier to make way for more roses. It’s an addiction isn’t it? 🌹
Help, where do I start? I have a massive Rose bush which was looking lovely until the rain put paid to that and now it’s fallen over. I’ll need two people to lift it back up at least and secure it. Thinking of heavily pruning the top as it was looking overgrown before but the roses had all come out. Honestly I don’t known how to properly care for this bush so any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks!
Hi @CantPruneWontPrune. I’m a rose novice but could you perhaps fix some trellis on the wall behind the rose and tie the rose in? It’d be a shame to lose those beautiful blooms. Good luck 🤞
I’ve just come across a video I made a year and three weeks ago in the garden. So different p, I can’t believe how much larger all the roses are. Especially Malvern Hills, I thought it had already been pretty large!
Went to the Gardeners Fair at Burton Agnes and took lots of photos. Many roses too, but I’ll start a new discussion to post them on, rather than putting them on here!
I bought a large potted rhubarb as we missed out on getting on earlier in the year. So saves us having to wait a whole extra year before having one we can pick. Also got a Blackcurrant Sage, Salvia Amistad and a couple of carnivorous plants for inside.

Wow! I’ve finally got to the latest post. I’ve spent many a happy hour and lots of cuppas reading from the start. The pre seasonal start, I might add Lovely thread, I think I’m going to miss having 150+ new posts to read, haha.
A few from my own garden this evening - The Ancient Mariner
Yay! Vanessa Bell
Bathsheba
Ghislaine de Feligonde
Ghislaine and Rhapsody
Malvern Hills I think must now be pretty much at the peak. It’s starting to lose flowers and there’s not that many more left to open in the current flush. So this, or yesterday’s photo...or possibly tomorrow...is probably showing it at full flush.
@Fire finished blooms after rain - I don’t think it’s too bad.

Wild blue yonder and westerland.
