Roses

Ok WOO, I had my doubts about it, just thought I'd ask.

Hi My local garden centre gave me some toprose that had got damp - and it was not in the box. Never one to refuse an offering i accepted it and was delighted!Does anyone have the instructions ? I gather that you can use it for shrubs as well as roses....Thank you!

Hi Peggy yes Its a Modern large repeat flowering Climber (Apricot Blend) The Blooms are 4 ins across,But only last for about 2-3 Days and the foliage can be sparce .It Reaches a Height of around 10ft. Bred by MCGREDY 1964-Parentage -Coral Dawn xBelle Blonde It has a fragrance level of 3-5...

For anyone who lives near Bents Garden centre they have about 40 or so for sale, good strong stems, although I chose "the generous gardener" over it.

jjordie, you cut me to the quick ! This is my 'pretty' head too

Thanks for that. I will definitely give it a go. I might have missed out on the rose hips this year, as the birds might have had the best of them by now (I haven't been to look for a few weeks), but if I have missed them, I will definitely get in there first when autumn comes back round.

I've never really been a fan of roses. The flowers are of course fabulous looking and smelling, but they look so rubbbish when the flowers aren't they and I saw them as needing lots of attention with green/black fly and pruning. I know modern varieties have improved a lot though, so I'm...

Thanks again, Claire. That is very helpful

Hi Flowerpotty Sorry I have missed your post maybe this will be of some help to you.:thumb: anymore questions just ask away there is always plenty of help here at Gardeners Corners from all our Friends

Hi Rouxbee You are most welcome :thumb:

Hi Stroudy welcome to GC. You will have to remove all the leaves that look like that and destroy them. They are small pictures but it looks to me like a touch of midew and possibly some other fungal issue. Nothing you can do for those leaves now, the roses are starting to slow down for...

As a relative novice I had always believed that suckers originated from below the graft of the plant. In the last few weeks, I have identified 4 vigorous growths originating 12/18 inches from the base of this 2 year old climber, showing all the signs of suckers. Is this possible and do they...

Thanks for your reply David - sorry it's taken a while to get back to you - been busy here and there...The Rose seems to be surviving well despite the chunks chomped out of it, its put loads of new climbing shoots out which is good to see.The sunflowers are doing well against the odds -...

Hi Smiffy A great choice Just remember to plant it about a foot away from the support it Is going to climb and try to water it depending on the weather of course once a week and no need to prune a climber for at least the first two or three years.:thumb:

I only feed once a year in the spring.
