  I don't know your mould problem Fire but hope Ena is ok.
  
  It's been curiously/ominously mild today, even the honeybees came out of the chimney and I've never seen that in December.
  
  Happy New Year everyone, looking forward to seeing your spring gardens😊

  Wearside, England.

  Is HelpMeFind down for anyone else? I am strangely lost without it, yes, I know how to see in the new year in style I am having a lovely time plotting and planning new pots.
  

  I just noticed your Ena woes @Fire, no idea what that is but it ain't pretty.

  @Fire could it be scale insect/woolly aphids rather than mould?

  Yes, I was wondering about scale.  @Nollie 😫

  I'll go and look later.

  Thank you for checking @Omori, it is still not working for me on my laptop (trying several browsers) but I can get to it on my phone.

  Happy New Year again to all 🥂

  Well, Happy New Year to everyone...  
  
  Off we go..  let's have a look around and see, winter hasn't really started here yet..
  'Botzaris'.. nicely defoliated [not by me]..
  
  'Queen of Denmark'.. still with lots of leaves..
  
  'Mutabilis'.. still trying to flower..
  
  Austin derivative 'The Anniversary Rose'.. lots of good foliage still..
  
  'Lady Mary Fitzwilliam' pruned back somewhat.. still leafy..
  
  floribunda shrub 'Lucky' still well foliated..
  
  'Devoniensis' I have spread this out to 10 feet wide about 5.5 high.. one seasons growth..
  
  'Tottering by Gently' hips..
  
  
  HMF ok for me so far..
  ..might post a few more pics in a moment... not very flattering ones..

  ..pretty bleak... Dry Garden..
  
  Pebble Beach area..  Euphorbia in pot..
  
  
  
  this grass Achnatherum [Stipa] Calamagrostis is such a good grass with roses as it flowers in June, and looks good the rest of the year.. needs full sun, dry conditions,.. it flops in shade and moisture..
  
  
  
  ..please show your bleakness...  lush green grass helps  but I don't have any of that..
