I don't have any spraying neighbors. There is a massive attack of bindweed and blackberry from the other side of the fence to mine at the far end of the garden.Â
I have Whiter Shade of Pale, got it bare root last year, planted in a container on the north facing patio, looks amazing and scent so beautiful. Shades of pink is stunning. I took a couple of cuttings last year. So now I have 2 babes, one of which is about to bloom which my daughter has now taken. Â Not sure how long the rose will last in a container but so far so good. Looks very healthy. Need to make/get a obelisk/cage so it has more support.Â
@Omori I did ask about Wild Edric last year (or early this year) on this forum.. did not know that you had it.. had to put it along with the many others on the waiting list..Â
Over hundred of posts to catch up in just 2 days...Â
I had to chop of few buds/ blooms because of this... sprayed with Spinosad late in the evening.. hope the new branches come ok..
These are the buds that made it this far.. many others did not even reach this stage..
Someone is asking about planting up roses right in front of a conifer hedges. So - here is the opportunity to tell how it can be done (as per recent rose post).
..the weather has taken a turn, cool and blustery.. blowing everything around.. 'Gabriel Oak'. 'Lady of Shalott'.. tied to the wall.. 'Cornelia'.. 'Westerland'.. 'Mme. Lauriol de Barny'.. almost full flush..
I'm having my first "tea in the garden" on Saturday - for neighbours and the garden group. I just hope it stays sunny and a storm doesn't blow in. Temps crash on Sunday. It's a good kick in the pants for me to get the garden in order. The rose peak has gone over, but never mind. My garden has to have lots of people in it, or it all feels a bit pointless. Wish me well.

Out of all my roses I find red ones more tricky to keep happy. My Mr Lincoln and Papa meiland both are not doing much.Â
