That’s my concern too newbie, my winters can be harsh so there is always further dieback. I am getting a cold, hope that’s all it is and not your horrible flu since I’m flying to the UK to see my elderly parents on Saturday!

Poor you @newbie77 , hope it is behind you soon and that Nollie's lurg is very short lived.
It has been so mild here, albeit wet and windy, that my roses are not shedding leaves much. It's been a good year for Blackspot but early season I had more than usual mildew. Now about 6 potted roses have rust although I have picked those leaves off which has largely stopped it. @dabolem, my Rose de Rescht was one of those affected. Also little sawfly and rose slug damage this year.
Strawberry Hill has to be my standout rose this year
Blooms are not always fully opening but most roses have some, with lots of buds still to come eg New Zealand, Proper JobRhapsody In Blue, Gruss an Aachen, Golden Beauty, BoscobelForever Royal, Scarborough Fair, Timeless Purple and UtopiaEven the recently delivered bare root DeeLish has swelling buds
Wow, some impressively foliated and blooming roses there. What an odd year it’s been, whilst it’s great to see things in bloom so late, I’m praying for a less punishing summer next year. Weeks of 40+ temps is just not on!

Just got back from a couple of days away and I don't have many roses in bloom left, probably due to the torrential rain yesterday. I can see a few flowers on Eglantyne, Claire Austin and Zephirine Drouhin so will try to post pics tomorrow.
Cants of Colchester sent a nice little catalogue today with a fetching picture of Peach Melba on the front. I like the way each rose has a good description and breeder code. Makes them very easy to look up online, despite the multitude of names some roses seem to have. They also say to harshly cut down new bareroot roses, incl. English/Renaissance roses by 50%. Never noticed. Not sure what I was doing with these catalogues before. Just looking at the pretty pictures, presumably, and ignoring all the planting instructions!🙄
Yet another approach to add to the plethora of contradictory advice I see WAMS! No wonder people get unnecessarily scared of pruning 🙄
Cants say to do the 8cm hard prune only of newly planted bush roses (in mid March) but no after-plant pruning for shrub roses general except by 50% for English and renaissance but not any other modern shrubs.
So far we have had:
a) don’t do it at all b) do it to bush roses only c) do it to bush roses and some selected shrubs d) do it to everything, climbers, old roses the lot
Take your pick guys or just relax and ignore the lot of them!

Oh boy!, Whilst not really giving it much conscious thought, I have always sort of considered the terms 'bush' and 'shrub' as interchangeable, basically distinguishing them from climbers and ramblers. But it seems that these are terms that actually identify a distinction between different types of roses? So what/which are considered Bush roses and what/which are Shrub roses?
ETA, I have just taken a quick scamper through DA catalogue and see that they identify roses as many different types such as Shrub, Climber, Rambler, Old rose, Wild rose, Floribunda, HT, etc, but what I don't find is any described as Bush rose.

My pots at sunny location are doing great leafwise. Chippendale in front, then there are Elizabeth, grace and amour de melone.
Plants in border have lots of blackspots etc and loosing leaves.
@Nollie, I really hope it is just cold and not the horrible flu 🤞

I love that Strawberry Hill, @Tack.
Lots of hot toddies for both of you, newbie and Nollie.

I'll take a look through the PB catalogue now too.
