I notice DA are now shipping to the E.U. again.. something very wrong that if you live in N. Ireland you have to go through the E.U. website, not the UK one...
Also, this quote from their IG page.. ''we are very excited for what's to come this year and can't wait to share it with you all 🌹''
..ooh er.. something nice I hope.. as if we've all got room for more roses..
I'm yet to figure out exactly what to do with her! She's in an awkward spot.
Putting my life on the line every time I go up a ladder to try and reach her. She's going to end up as a half climber, half tall shrub I think. I wanted to keep her bound within reach of my long handled pruner!
Will be interesting to see what the structure is like once I strip off the leaves.
@Mr. Vine Eye could you not train her under the window or lower down? She looks flexible.
She's tied in under the window. And there's already a wire above, so I'll tie something in next month.
She could do with being able to go around the corner though on to the fence. But would clash with Rhapsody in Blue and the crabapple tree for space.
The crabapple has been so good this year and it's been great watching the blackbirds picking them off so I'd like to let it grow further than I originally intended it to.
I'll figure something out!
One of my favourite times doing the pruning and training in Feb. I'll take before and after photos again like I did last year. I need to find last years ones on the old thread to compare the growth. You forget how much they've grown!

Trying not to be too tidy! Want to leave plenty of homes for those ladybirds to overwinter.

Excited to have foxgloves this year! Really missed them.
Most of the roses are asleep but Kew Gardens is still going.
