It's a bit of a confusing pic. There is small arch on the far back left and there is a big arch closest to the camera. And there is a wire between the two. There is one Etoile beside the shed door. This plant sends out canes left and right across the shed. It also follows the wire towards the camera. There are two red roses growing laterally across the big arch. I think that most of the blooms you can see are Etoile. It peaked crazy early this year - in April. I missed most of it as I was away, which was traumatic.

I looked it up and see that I planted it Jan 2018.

This is a pic from June this year - reblooming after the peak. It would love me to give it buckets every day and would put on a load of new growth and, no doubt, a lot more flowering. But then, all my roses are like that. I am treating them pretty hard, and I'm on a water metre. They have survived the drought well without much extra watering - four years in. But hardly any flowering or cane growth since July. I have no basal growth.
