Thanks, @Marlorena, i didn't know that. I think it would be ok from that point of view, in recent years it doesn't go below minus 10C, and that only for a couple of days.Â
Far too many lovely roses to covet, my fantasy list keeps getting longer and longer. I feel I should have a Pink Martini since they are one of my favourite bands!
@Veilchenblau Those neat chomps out of your leaves are leaf cutter bees collecting nest-lining material. They never do too much damage and I welcome them in the garden (unlike sawflies!)
@newbie77 I have a 25m length of seep hose attached to a water butt (not that it’s getting any use this year) and it does get to the end ok on very little pressure, but 25 is supposed to be about the effective limit. I would have a similar set-up to dabolem on my garden tap if my well water was not so very hard, the pores clog with calcium deposits within a year.
Thanks @Omori re MIP. I took this this morning @dabolem, but even in shade it’s already looking shrivelled since we are having another heatwave. Perhaps not the best choice for either of us!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Does anyone know how the despatch of Peter Beales bareroots works? I got a couple when they were 1/2 price at the end of the season and one had just two canes on it. It is growing now and I have high hopes for it but it has been a really slow start.Â
If I order now for Nov delivery are the bareroots any likelier to be bigger, i.e. do they send out the grade 1 ones first?
Have you ever grown HT 'Peace' @Marlorena. It looks a lovely rose and by all accounts a very popular one over the years and I'd like to consider it, but there are quite a wide range of different sizes mentioned from the different suppliers...one is even describing it as a climber. So it's rather difficult to work out whether I'd end up with something 4ft high or something twice the size.

Still beautiful, though. I still loved Dee-Lish in its last overblown, about to shatter days, though, so I might just be weird.
