Just been out to look, @cooldoc and those pesky plants still aren't doing anything. Took a couple of pics of those that are doing something. Many are covered in buds; I chopped my Belle De Jour right back as she was all spindly and the blooms were tiny, for a 3 year old plant. Bounced back now with heaps of heathy growth and buds really fast, so I expect a lovely show soon. One of my favourite roses that is. Many more blooms on Charles Austin today.
Fruity Parfuma is miserable with a bought of blackspot, and not producing much there was this one effort.
Geoff Hamilton is gearing up for a display.
And the Champagne Moment is blooming everywhere.
My entire garden isn't really a rubbish tip, it's just that 99% of the roses stand in the area that the old trees used to cover, and that area is infested with bamboo roots (ouch!) so the grass looks ratty there. However, that's where the full sun goes!! I have a lot of garden woes, we could be here forever!
Vendetta is the word, @Nollie, haha. We can only speculate why he carries on like a jilted lover...
Giardina, a pretty climber, but the blooms are disappointingly small... about an inch and a half across.
Maxima Romantica, which I am babysitting... good scent but not Chandos Beauty good.
Starlight Symphony
@crighton03 your roses are beautiful! Charles Austin is especially eye-catching. And your grass will always be better than mine (my dog sees to that...) lol
My sister in law has offered me a rose in a pot that she does not want - as she has the same rose in the ground. Be silly not to say 'Yes', but can anyone identify this one?
I have seen munstead wood and Jude the obscure mentioned on here several times because of the situation with them. I have one of each that I would be willing to give away for free to someone if their was any interest! I live in north east England next to Scottish Border if anyone was nearby and looking for either!! As I will be on the move later in year I thought I’d offer to a good home
Oh wow... @PeterinAberdeen was very keen on a MW. That's a wonderful offer!
Alfie, esp love the dahlias. You must be happy with how all of these are performing. I haven't had Starlight Symphony very long (both plants are throwing out lots of basals and blooming a lot though)- but pitter has it.

Hi Daniel I would love a shout out for them, but you are quite a bit away from me. Totally willing to arrange collection via DHL for next day delivery, if that is possible and when the time is right for lifting them.
They would have a great home in Aberdeen - I have especially been looking, as @WAMS said, for Munstead Wood. If someone else wants Jude the Obscure then I am fine with that, but just so you know I can take both and will pay the shipping.
Thanks for consideration, you can also email me - it's on my profile.

Rose cuttings from Autumn. PAoK (back left), back right and front left (Champagne M) and front right (Chandos).........
The PAoK blooms on my cutting are better than the ones on my two shrubs
Must be around 200 flowers deadheaded on Champagne M:
Can you believe there are about the same number still left!!.....
And stems like this AFTER deadheading, unbelievable rose............
Saved some roses from today's rain and brought them inside. Chandos and Champagne M with various dahlias........
Sweet Syrie and Chandos B with dahlias and sweet peas.....
Sweet Syrie looks and smells amazing.........
First year Blue Moon. Smell is lovely and quite unique I find.............
@WAMS Starlight S looks amazing. What is the flowering/repeat like on that?
Pity. no one knew about the yellow one.
Thanks

It's a very kind thought.
