    @Omori several years in, I still just have a few bare sticks. Alive but sulking.

    It loves lots of water, and a good dressing of manure, and sun. In other words, it thrives on pampering. Maybe something to try…?

    Oh,  I have. Hosing, manure, alfalfa. It just scowls. I'll give it this year and then shovel prune it if it doesn't pick up.

    I have some lovely new purple basals on some new Etoile put in last year. The only of my roses that have any basals coming.

    Most of my roses are in bud. It’s going to be beautiful when they bloom. For now I still have alliums and geums blooming. 




    My climber is also displaying similar leaf discolouration as the young lycidas I pulled out due to ants. The climber also seems to have a fair amount of ant activity, so I wonder if I have another colony. Can anyone suggest what the leaf discolouration suggests? I’ve tried Google but didn’t get very far!

    @Katsa, is it a new plant?

    @newbie77 no. It’s nearly 2 years old. It’s never really done well

    @Katsa, it looks like rose mosaic but I am not sure. I was thinking if it's new plant then it might have come like that.

    I wondered that too, but it may be root damage from ants. I’m thinking of pulling it out and replanting another after leaving the soil fallow for a period of time. Does anyone know how long I need to leave the soil to prevent rose replant disease?
