Gave all my roses a feed at lunchtime today- WFH has its upsides! All of them are off to the races…
Strawberry Hill
Olivia Rose Austin
Trumpeter
Mothers Day
Double Delight
And there are three GJs in this. One is a year old, the others are new… I’m a bit close to the wall with one of the new ones but I’m not moving it now!
My front garden is just waking up, it gets going in April, and I've had to replant some of it.. nothing much to see right now but I like to monitor progress.. Veronica 'Georgia Blue' is the harbinger of Spring for me.. I like fresh Daylily foliage, as it appears quite early.. these are 'Stafford'.. ..my arch with 'Wild Rover'.. one each side now..
@ciaranmcgrenera Your potted roses especially all looking good.. I spy an empty border back there that needs some roses.. 'Double Delight' has a fabulous scent as I recall..
@ElbFee I think he will do more of the design for the hard landscaping rather than planting. I wouldn’t have had him to do the new garden really but had just paid him for the current one. I’m sure things will evolve over time and I am never very rigid in my planting and prone to “chucking things in”. I”m intending to plan a little bit more this time and very excited to see what is in there as suspect there is a fair bit.

You’re correct on a couple of fronts @Marlorena. Double Delight has a brilliant scent, and that side border, after some further work, will be in need of some roses- when I’m ready I’ll be back on here looking for climbers and ramblers to grow along the fence!

Fabulous foliage pics.. love that 'Special Anniversary' too.. and not forgetting 'Cutie Pie'.. I'm increasingly taken with that rose of yours..
I caught a glimpse of the boots !..
Those are ok.. not something I like to see but another rose that has canes like that is 'Desdemona'.. and it doesn't stop it..
Just adding the red-bronze foliage on Olivia Rose Austin

Thank you for the advice as ever @Marlorena.
