@ciaranmcgrenera ... there are usually good tutorials on youtube these days.. I just typed in ''how to train a rose on an obelisk'' and quite a few came up.. I always think video demonstrations are good for this sort of thing..
@Marlorena I don’t disagree. I find I learn better visually in general, although sometimes diagrams are better than videos. My only concern with YouTube is that it can be painful to sift through the dross to find that video that makes you go “YES”!
Off to Malvern RHS show this weekend. Been a rough few weeks here, female pup suddenly started attacking our existing male and he was getting really upset and hurt, couldnt stop it so shes had to go back to our lovely breeder. Her brother however stayed to see how he did without her - he is thriving now hes not being henpecked either, and both boys get on great, so back to 4 contented hounds. Got that sorted and our original boy started shaking in pain mysteriously.. couple of stressful weeks, vet trips and being up all night settling him, we finally got back injury diagnosed, so continued meds and rest. Gardening show therapy def.needed!!
In the meantime I also decided to preorder Lady Adrianna and mrs muriel reynalds from dickson roses, both unusual two tones, eyed for ages. Couldnt choose between and they are both compact, so pots it is and the front for 1. I really wanted "Usha ki Kiran" too since I saw it last year as one for naming as its so unusual but its sold out already, gutted they didnt advertise pre order was open, id been checking and spotted by fluke, but too late https://www.dickson-roses.co.uk/product-page/mrs-muriel-reynolds-diclycra
Heres my Tiverton floribunda wisteria getting longer and opening!
Got back last night, so yet to venture out and check my aphid covered roses.. nothing in bloom yet here but enjoying others pic for now..
Back in London, I enjoy staring at all those rose blooms on my way to work.. always want to take a sniff but then they would label me as stalker/ psycho
planning to plant out my seed grown Marigolds (seeds from last years flowers).. and its been raining here every other day..
