@endeavourlondiniumE32axz5M My Lady EH produced strange shoots like that. I had posted a similar picture (an off shoot resembling a sucker) in the previous thread.. but the leaves were exactly same as the mother plant.. Just let her be and you will get nice new basals...
I have a question. I have a small ugly front lawn, bordered by a small hedge I'd like to keep in memory of the one who planted it. It's a north-north-east-facing lawn and gets two-three hours of sunshine a day at most. I'd like to dig up the grass and create a little flower garden there with perhaps a rosebush or three at the centre. What roses (and/or other plants) would thrive in these conditions? It's neutral/alkaline soil and bears the brunt of a lot of wind, as well as litter carried in on said wind and also thrown there by passing ne'er-do-wells. The area is approx 3m x 2m.

@WhereAreMySecateurs Hi, I think I remember you from previous with a panda name... so hello again..
As for roses for your location, I would avoid Hybrid Teas but anything Floribunda or shrub, Austin etc, would be ok, I wouldn't worry about the sun aspects.. As for other plants, difficult to advise without seeing what you have to work with, but I always choose plants which I like and want, and take it from there..
Difficult to be specific as it's such a personal choice..
Lots sprouting here! LOS climbing its obelisk nicely, Brother Cadfael, natalija, nostalgia, sheilas perfume, sweet syrie, crown princess. The primroses are husky peach schnapps I get them as plugs every Autumn as they are so pretty.
Theres 3 hounds in the heap, one on the right using his sister as a pillow hehe! Here they all are for you, patch of warm sun yesturday between showers so they were out basking!

Sun's come out again so I think I'll go out this afternoon and try to get one of the beds fully weeded and mulched.
