Sorry to hear that @Omori. The blooms are lovely, but GT is disease-ridden with thin, floppy canes if that’s any consolation. New though, so hopefully it will pick up next season, assuming it survives! I suspect Malvern Hills would’ve been a better bet for a yellow climber.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
maybe Gertrude J for a new gardening friend in love with pink climbers
I'm toying with trying to replace (in a box) my old tricky Ena with a new Ena to see if it will climb. And moving Papa M and Deep Secret, which are in a daft place, creating a kind of rose bed area (ish), with self seeders growing though.
Etoile and Crimson Glory have put on huge canes this year and I have spent careful time pegging them all in, over arches and sheds, so I do hope they do produce good laterals next year. I admit its feeling like a lot of work at the moment. But they are fairly new in.
I always get tired at this time of year and am looking forward to autumn and a break from 'imminent plant death' anxiety. I'm always hoping for a garden that pretty much looks after itself and somehow always end of making life more complicated.
it's nice and warm so we've been out more than usual.. admiring all the roses flushing in people's gardens everywhere.. we crossed into Suffolk today - roses galore, of all sorts..
.. 'Mutabilis' brightening up in the warmth.. lots of plum red shoots coming up, this is a vigorous rose at least in southern parts here..
Three Malvern Hills in a city garden on top of all your other climbers certainly sounds like making life complicated @Fire, will we have to send in a search party to find you under all that? 😆
I am still trying and failing to transform my long wish list into modestly-sized doable orders (four different nurseries to boot). Every time I pull up the list, determined to cut it by half, somehow it just gets longer.

I'm considering swapping out Dr Jamain. But yes, three is probably too much.
Evening everyone, we have finally some summer weather in this region.
Some roses are starting their second flush while guirlande is already starting to wind down and is forming hips. I have also now stopped with deadheading.
my orderlist at the moment. Charles empereur Walferdange Framboise Folle Julia Child marie pavie Mevrouw Nathalie Nypels
and a new rambler - Ducher rambler..( although I was doubting a lot with Mieke van Lommel but the last one is only summer flowering )
In the maybe list Minerva lady Emma Hamilton Eyes for you…
Beautiful pics everyone. Wish I had some to share but life has gotten in the way a little and yesterday I had to cut back/ rescue both absolutely fabulous and ( less so ) chandos beauty from really horrid blackspot and various other nasties...hoping it stays mild enough that I'll get another few blooms. My fault really on abfab, it was doing so well without any tending that I didn't realise how congested it had gotten .
Beautiful roses everyone! Here I have only few and small flowers on Nostalgie and there is Rose de Rescht with some buds. Today I finished moving the azaleas and preparing the bed for the Portland roses which are on pots at the moment.
@Nollie I more and more convinced that I must have Astronomia, I love that rose! Your Francis Dubreil is amazing, can you tell me if it is a stiff or a fountain shrub?
