Interesting Marlorena, thanks. It was the lack of potassium that intrigued me since that’s nowhere near as prone to leaching as highly mobile nitrogen, although I see how high rainfall would accelerate that. You’ve clearly got your fertiliser regime right though, since your roses always look fabulous.
I did a scraping and there is still some green in the left-hand cane but I really don’t think it’s long for this world. Yes, from TCL @newbie77 so I’ll drop them an email and see what they say.

Peter Beales has an offer where you can get 35% off the following roses. Fragonard, Ethel, Highgrove, Ivor’s Rose, Jasmina, Leah Tutu, Lovely Parfuma, Pink Paradise, Macmillan Nurse, St Ethelburga and Togmeister. If anyone’s interested use code PBROSE35 at checkout before 10th February.
Was expecting two roses from Trevor White, but they have switched from Parcelforce to DPD, who did a runner without knocking and only left 1 of 2. And their number in Birmingham clicks off immediately... sigh. No more orders for me from TW unless I am assured it won't be DPD. They virtually destroyed my order from Ashridge a month or two back. 😬
Anyway, the one that arrived, Grand Award, is big! (Hello from Jess, who will help me dig the hole for it tomorrow.)
@WhereAreMySecateurs that’s a shame TW have switched to DPD, it was the Spanish subsidiary of DPD that lost me my German rose order.
I’ve emailed TCL re Versigny and await a reply, but having checked their website meanwhile, it is of course out of stock now!! If they can’t get me a replacement, I’m sorely tempted to order one direct from Roses Guillot.

Huge rose from Trevor.. I like DPD, and APC too, they are my preferred couriers, in fact I'm now reluctant to buy from a nursery that doesn't use either of these two. I have had a rose go missing before from TW but it's rare..
Hope you get it sorted, it's so disappointing when this happens..
It'll turn up. I love APC, too... might send TW a note mentioning the fact. And I should just be grateful they aren't using Hermes like DA lol. Thanks!
A few days ago I got a ticking off from German rosarian Ruf Werner, who runs a nursery over there... he's quite a nice man as most rosy people go, but I was put in my place for not giving the Noisette rose 'Aimee Vibert' enough time to do it justice.. He has beautiful specimens of this rose in his garden.
Trouble is, as I had already made clear, I didn't fancy a huge version of this..
Welling Roses have 10% off all their bareroots, which makes all of these £9. I got John Paul II from them a few weeks ago. Here's the remaining stocklist- they have some unusual ones- and contact details if anyone is interested.
They did have Eisvogel, Fisherman's Friend and some others previously but sold now, I suppose. You can place orders through Facebook or the above contacts.
