I had two roses before I started all these shennanigans. Now I have somewhere in the region of 30 in a 3x7 metre space. Which is absurd. Entirely due to the GW rose threads. And @JessicaS don't think you aren't culpable - you, with all your stunning roses. You are just as bad as the others, luring us in. Drug peddlers, the lot of you!
@Fire how have you managed to squash 30 into that space?!
I have a small garden, and what with all the other non rose plants filling it up I have only managed to increase my rose haul by 3 this year 😢 I really need more room!
Slowly building a wildlife garden, in a new build in East Yorkshire.
climbers. Ii have about eight clems in the space too and an espalier apple tree. On the upside, when all the roses hit maturity, almost the whole space will be surrounded by climbing roses, which should be lovely. One day
@Jess91 - pots is your answer for more roses! Especially if you pick ones you adore and plants 2 or 3 of the same variety in one large pot.
Now the standards have gone live would anyone mind sharing any pictures of their DA standards? Not all are available I notice. No Gabriel O and no Poet's Wife which are two I eyed up for standards.
@Fire haha yes, I give as good as I get with the rose peddling!
My gardens not that huge either @Jess91 I just pack a lot of them in, I love it like that though. Pots too! I probably have about 40 clematis as well, another vice of mine, and Hellebore for over winter, both also influenced by this lot with their gorgeous gardens! Mine in summer;
Im behind with planting, just not been up to it, still fighting covid fatigue. Hopefully I can do a few bits at the weekend, pot some bulbs and maybe pot the 2 roses for out the front, relatively low energy. Definately not up to bare root hole digging yet. Ive pruned at least 1/3 off any very tall roses that didnt have new buds as windrocks a risk in storms. Ive trimmed any others that have finished a bit but still lots to do, gardens gone nuts in the rain, all put on huge growth.
