such beautiful roses - a real abundance. I can almost smell them through the screen. Maybe MS is # my next garden. He seems to have a less dense flower than Gertrude. Are there similarities?
I also love hanging basket/palace pictured here. I have not seen ones like it. No doubt it was a unique, handmade creation found in a market in Marsaille in 1969, knowing my luck. But any leads on it would be appreciated.
@SeahorseFriend - hello! I don’t think that’s a moss rose. The little hairs with pink blobs on the end are Trichomes - specifically glandular stipitates (hairs with glands on the tips)
Many roses have them on flower buds to a greater or lesser degree. My now departed Amber Queen rose buds were covered in them.
Survived the recent rain reasonably well. I'm guessing its a David Austin of some sort from the flower shape and scent so any ID suggestions appreciated thanks.
Thanks for the info, @Mr. Vine Eye - interesting, I don't remember ever noticing trichomes on a rose before. Well, I still don't know what the unknown pink rose is, but it's pretty. And I definitely want to get a Moss Rose now
@Tack LoS is pretty vigorous, I found the long canes needed some support so had a ring of plant hoops around it. Mine is temporarily in a pot awaiting a new spot in the ground as it’s last home was too hot, but it is currently thrice the height of said pot! I always took issue with DA saying it was ‘suitable for a pot’, but @celcius_kkw has a potted one and his experience is probably more relevant so could maybe tell us?
Great rose parade again, your garden is turning into Tack’s Potted Rose Trials - I look forward to reading the full study soon, perhaps you could co-author it with Adrian 😆
Great to see you getting some blooms at last @Katsa and interested to see you have Rose du Roi - I love those deep pinks/purples. Your Clementina blooms have gone over fast but re droopiness, maybe it just needs time to settle in? Just keep an eye on it, if new buds start to droop and go brown then that would be more of a concern..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
That was my thought also, @Nollie. Lots of rain so hopefully it'll settle well. My transplanted Roald Dahl is definitely unhappy and lots of brown stems and dead buds. Rest of the garden is getting there!
Deep Secret, this single cluster on a long cane is impressive from a distance and long-lasting. When it’s done, I will prune it down by a third while I wait for the other canes to catch up and fill the void on the right:
Marie Pavie has been in continuous bloom for months now, but needs constant deadheading as they don’t age well:

As usual my red standard rose is doing its seasonal colour change. First blooms very red Next set start the change. After this first flush the limbs are very long and heavy, so it gets a bit more than dead heading. While the new growth starts the leaves generally fall off ( I know odd but it does it every year) so by the time the second flush comes the bush looks a bit bare, and the roses are more white than red. It's an unusual cycle but this is what it does, and every year it comes back really healthy, so I don't complain.

Rose of the day is Sceptred Isle. Like ice cream scoops.
