Everything feels so much better after rain, glad others are getting some, if a bit too much in places!
I don’t know how winter hardy Lady Hillingdon is because it hasn’t been through one yet @WhereAreMySecateurs. Mine is the shrub version, which I chose because it would be easier to give it some protection from heavy mountain frosts. The climbing version is sold in the UK though, so it might be ok..
Possibly not @dabolem, but you never know until you try! It’s usually very humid in summer here, which means I have high disease pressure.Â
Beautiful, clear blue skies this morning and a few other things emerging..
Munstead Wood (own root) not looking very Munstead-y:
Mme. Isaac Pereire, enjoying the shade under the fig tree:
Blush Noisette, in a pot and sorely in need of a permanent home:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Thank you @Marlorena. I will keep it as tall as I can, because I am going to put it behind everything, at the bottom of the garden, which is sloping, so taller is better. This way I may admire it from the kitchen window, I hope.
No new basal here, this season it’s been a killer for my garden, very few blooms and some dead plants. I consider myself lucky that I didn’t loose more, with the heat waves and hosepipe ban.
Let’s hope next year we’ll be better, I have 14 new roses to grow, lol. I am a little sad I didn’t find Forever Royal, I really like it in your pictures. Maybe I will be able to find it next Spring.
..the late Christopher Lloyd of Great Dixter was not a rosarian, but one rose he did admire was 'Mrs. Oakley Fisher', and that's a splendid bloom.. ..I rather like 'Guy Savoy' too..
..a nice posy of roses, I have one to show as well.. 'Armada'.. 'Tall Story'.. 'G de F'.. 'Lilac Bouquet'.. 'Forever Royal'.. 'La France'.. grown for its scent..

A few from today:
Ulmer Munster still going strong, it's the same flower that I posted on 18th August.
Jacqueline du Pre
Brodure Abricot
Tigridia have started flowering again.
.. Yes mine is about 6 feet but you can keep it shorter if you prefer. I think I would struggle to keep it much below 4-5 feet though.Â
'clg Lady Hillingdon' grows well in the south. I had a large plant on a fence. Flowers best for about a month, then sporadic after..
Hope you're all getting some nice basals on your roses..
This big fat one is on 'Forever Royal'..
Dahlia today 😊
