@agnasia I had it north facing, where it grew well but not so many blooms, I realised it needed a sunnier spot... I have it south facing now.. it shouldn't be a problem on an open pergola..
Lol, it isn't patronising to impart accurate information, Marlorena (and if it is, please patronise away- you're our guru). Interesting that such an odd-looking (and a bit ugly) thing as proliferation could occur with Eustacia Vye, one of the prettiest roses. I hope it happens in my garden.
Nollie, so so beautiful. Mme Antoine Marie has shot to the very top of my wishlist.
@Zugenie hurray for your Boule de Neige! Mine is looking a bit peaky so far this year- blackspot has appeared here and there on a few of the roses. Has anyone tried cornmeal/polenta as a treatment for blackspot and is there any possible scientific reason why it should work? I am leaning towards trying it but then again, don't want to waste good food
Thanks @Eustace, I have them in pots too but as I am hoping to reuse the pots to plant Lilies soon, am I better to lift and store the hyacinth bulbs for autumn planting or lift and replant elsewhere immediately?

As they are in pots, once they finish flowering, I would transfer the whole pot contents as-is and plant into the ground. You can use fresh compost to pot up the lilies.
Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
@Marlorena aah ok, my garden is north facing but as you say it’s an open position. I have other sun loving plants that are happy in that bed like stipa, scabious, salvia, aster etc…
Crazy busy situation at work, and this is first time I am not even reading each post in detail on this thread. Garden is totally neglected at the moment. In a way good that I wont have time for another couple of weeks, else I will again get desperate to remove bulb foliage. I had a shock horror yesterday when I realized, I forgot to prune some roses! Anyway they have buds now and I have no time, so I will do a prune after flowering. A thorough cleanup and cut is due and same is true for myself as well, need a good haircut, dental appointment etc

Soul, something munched the top of the bud, I think, but the fragrance!
Rose de Rescht missing a chunk:
Some other colour, early to bloom Salvia Mainacht in front of Berberis Helmand’s Pillar and Geum Prinses Juliana:
I tried the Polenta once, can't remember too much but soon gave it up.. I was worried it might encourage rats..
Proliferation on 'Eustacia Vye' ...
..'Florence Ducher'..
..name forgotten..

As for you though, teeth are more important than hair!!
