@Marlorena Apologies for a slightly belated thank you for your reply Marlorena...for some reason I thought you used the Maxicrop version, hence the rather expensive outlay. I intend using it to hopefully drag my Graham Thomas out of the last chance saloon by the summer's end, and Ballerina, which is also showing signs of distress with it's slightly yellowing leaves and a general lack of vigour.
Imagine this scenario…a cut rose in a vase, with a guest appreciating the fragrance but unsure where it is coming from, having not yet spotted the rose in a vase…
@Nollie oh no, that’s so upsetting, I didn't know pollen beetles caused that sort of damage.
@Marlorena mutabilis is very striking! Mrs reynolds hole is definitely an unfortunate name, but I love the colour, have popped that on my front garden rose list
Poor Ballerina. My friend uses Maxicrop with good results, @peteS. My only really chlorotic-looking one this year so far is Emily B... to the right... but it is just the top, new growth that is yellow. Hopefully it will be ok. I haven't treated it with anything yet because it's relatively new and I don't want to nurse it to death.
Munstead now open... I could gaze at this forever. Sarah And before the rest of the roses come along, it's my final blooms of the year from camellia Dahlonega (taken evening before last) You have so many beautiful and unusual roses, Marlorena. And I love Louis de Funès, Eustace- striking colour (and wonderful actor)
I’ve just come in from deadheading the extensive damage and was batting away and choking on the little buggers, they come in from the nearby rapeseed fields. They don’t normally cause this much trouble, but it’s clearly been a bumper year. Roll on harvest, maybe they will abate then!
Desdemona always looks fantastic.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Oh how I hate Rapeseed @Nollie it sets off my hay-fever really badly, smells horrible and I refuse to use it in food! It's the only reason I'm glad when May is over!
aah, well, quite.. but crucially Reynolds is missing an apostrophe and a second 's'.. but yes, imagine introducing the rose at a gathering..
As I like to rabbit on about these things... Dean of Rochester, Reverend Reynolds Hole had several roses named after him or his wife... unfortunately with this beautiful and scented rose, they may have got mixed up, and this is quite possibly one of those named for him, not her, as I've discussed with others, it's more a Bourbon than a Tea..
