@newbie77 I am searching for aphids in pics and yours look spotless.. I am beginning to wonder that I get swarmed more than usual as there are not many food sources nearby..
Rose de Rescht Louis XIV La France Gertrude Jekyll William Shakespeare
Grossherzogin Luise Rosomane Janon Julio Iglesias Charles de Nervaux Sweet Delight Thierry Marx Huddersfield Choral Society Crazy Fashion Pacific Blue Tropicana
Did not realise I purchased so many.. Few of the last year ones were replaced...
@Busy-Lizzie how is the growth on your Louise Odier..? I saw two buds on mine already.. not that they will produce any significant bloom this early.. but was surprised how quickly that one produced buds..
Enjoying the new rose lists. I am feeling like buying something but my summer plan has set me back a bit. I am thinking may be I will dig out island beds in shaded area of garden and plant out all pots. Anyway it is still cold and I have some time to think about it. Looked at automatic watering system but in heat the joins in pipes leak or get separated with water pressure. Also fox and cats come and disturb hose. So I am concerned about leaving tap on with all setup when I am away. Anyway worst case it will give me chance to buy new roses next winter.
Great lists everyone, always fascinating to see, a few unknown ones to look up and lots to look forward to.
@Busy-Lizzie you have a fabulous two house rose collection there! I have Astronomia and it’s one of my best - an extremely healthy, undemanding, non-stop blooming, all-weather rose.

That seems more than I remembered, funny that. Too many there with rubbish names, I think that is colouring my impression that I haven't made good choices.
I get aphids quite badly but after leaving it too late last year I have started sprinkling my spent tea leaves already, have only noticed aphids on the (undosed)hellebores so far.
@Tack lol... "Hippie Fashion" is such a terrible name in particular. I really like the look of that and "Designer Sunset" and "Trendy Fashion"... but the names!
