Beautiful Stormy Weather @Nollie thank you for sharing. Probably I will place an order with TCL. Healthy Wild rover and Ebb tide roses arrived today from Peter Bales.Â
We only had a slight drizzle and I am praying for the heavy rain to be honest.Â
I have just started preparing the list that will be get rid off this year. Â
@WhereAreMySecateurs and someone other with Lavender Lassie, I feel sad every time I look at your LL because mine is completely defoliated and no blooms this year, sigh.
@Nollie your Stormy Weather is gorgeous, but I’ve already ordered Night Owl which I think is similar but taller? I’ll se how it does here and see if to take SW next year. My Marie Pavie went dormant and it’s still asleep.
I am falling in love too with purple and less petaled roses @Rojas and, yes, I agree, we can definitely put the blame on this forum, lol.
I didn’t find Wild Rover, Ebb Tide and Forever Royal, unfortunately.
edit to add: @Marlorena I think you have Tottering and if you don’t mind I’d like to know how latge and tall does it get, thank you!
I’ve never grown Night Owl so I can’t really comment on it apart from what I read on HMF, but it does seem to get taller @dabolem. The grey green foliage and semi-double blooms certainly look similar to SW. I shovel pruned Wild Rover as it was a defoliated, diseased, crispy nightmare in my hot and humid climate (as was Forever Royal) but Marlorena grows WR beautifully, so it should do better for Rojas 🤞
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Wow at everything, @Nollie, esp Lady Hillington. It would probably be too tender to grow where I am, unfortunately.
@dabolem hope your Lavender Lassie perks up! Or perhaps you just have a poor specimen? I noticed TCL list it for a mere €6 (though they claim it isn't fragrant- they err).🤨 @Marlorena has posted some beautiful photos of Tottering on helpmefind.com, including one captioned "6ft tall against an obelisk"- worth a look.
@Fire- deluge is right- this is one of the local parks this evening. Kids were playing cricket on this spot yesterday!
Thank you @WhereAreMySecateurs, I didn’t see Marlorena comment on Helpmefind. As per LL I will try and move it this october and hope it will improve, otherwise I could try and buy another one.
You got a truly deluge there, here I am still waiting for some water and hoping to not lose any other plants meanwhile.
So, based on your experience @Nollie maybe Wild Rover and Forever Royal are not fit for my garden too
We had steady rain from about 7am to 4pm yesterday the first since last winter. Everything looks better, and it's the first morning I have gone into the conservatory and it's felt cool 16°
