Glad the water didn't reach your house, @Marlorena. You seem to have had the worst of the heat, and now this. Famine then feast.....I hope the garden is okay.
Yes it wet the ground, but not enough to help @Marlorena . You got it and Northern Lincolnshire. The news has just announced Market Rasen is flooded, and maybe Louth ( which always gets flooded as its in the wolds) so piggy in the middle had showers.
@Marlorena glad that flooding didn't happen. Hope the runoff soaks into the ground. Here there has not been much rain, except for a slight drizzle. The plants have definitely perked up even in that. Hoping for steady rain to soak the soil. @Nollie that is one lovely Palais Biron. @celcius_kkw Etoile is in its 'leap' year, I think.
Gertrude Jekyll has started flowering again, smaller flowers but the scent is still of the same intensity 😊 The Pilgrim Wisley The Wren The Churchill Timeless cream and pink. Hoping to see everyone's rose photos now that rain has arrived in many parts of the country.

And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
Thank you !.. we seem to be back to normal today. The roads around here have few drains and what there are, seem to be partially blocked. The garden is sandy so it does drain through. I'm expecting a plant delivery today from Ballyrobert.. not roses.. so I look forward to that..
..lovely photos @Eustace what do you think of The Wren? I used to have it, but found the blooms had such a weak neck...
After all night rain the garden is looking much fresher today. As requested the still producing roses @Eustace 😁 Sparkle Blue for You My red standard Ruby Wedding looking a bit frazzled Desdemona And one in bud, but I had to include it, as its on its third flush! Sheila's Perfumed Plus little helper eating the caterpillars from the mint.

Yes, the flowers do have a weak neck. I was captivated by the promise of apricot floribunda blooms, though. As it is their first year here, I'm hoping that they will firm up in the next few seasons. :-:smile:
