Wow @Rojas. That is a substantial rose collection and you grow those so well.
Please post photos more frequently. We are rose addicts and love to see.
@Busy-Lizzie, yes lucky you. I wish my children get the love of gardening from me.
@cooldoc I think Omori has 100+ roses. Victoria, Jessica and Edhelka have amazing rose collections as well. There were some posts where we were admitting our crimes 😂
Thank you all for the kind comments and appreciating the hard work! I am still a beginner in Rose gardening and making lots of mistakes. You are all the inspiration and I am learning something new every day!
It’s really a hard work to look after the garden but this never stops me from adding some more roses every year I tend to spend most of the time in weeding and watering. May be this why I don’t sit down, relax and enjoy the blooms in summer and I should change a bit and forget the garden chores for sometime.
Has everyone fed and mulched the roses? I have only managed to finish half of the weeding on one side, have to do it on the other and bit of middle then feed and mulch . I am exhausted even to realise the pending garden chores.
@newbie77 buying roses is not a crime.. tempting others to buy is
what is that snail doing on a rose? may be you can train them to eat aphids @WAMS I 've got an own root Munstead which flowered on it's first year.. Not sure I will keep it.. might give it off to a neighbour or friend as it will soon be big for the small pot it's in now..
it is a task Rojas, but temperature is expected to be mild for now.. so try and finish up the mulching, feeding etc..
are any of you killing aphids on your roses.. I keep smashing them when ever I see one.. and few of roses attracts more aphids than others..
For lover's of Hulthemia roses.. this is 'Chawton Cottage'.. a climber. I think the white makes a change..
You might also be interested to know of a new variety which I think will be in garden centres this year called 'Peter's Persica'... bred by Chris Warner and introduced in memory of the late Peter Seabrook.. Here's a photo link to HMF.. https://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.401508
I imagine Pocock's or Harkness might be offering it at some point..

They are so good in climbing through throns!
and look at those leaves, shiny and fresh. No wonder it is tempted.
Such naked greed.
