        All the roses on my patio roses were affected. Some opened even though they were damaged but some didn't open at all.

        On the David Austin roses which I bought from a local garden centre recently and which would have been outside in the rain, most buds are okay but a couple have had some damage :dunno:

          I've ordered two more - Lady Emma Hamilton and Mutabilis. Love the colour of Lady Emma and the Mutabilis colours are to die for :wub2:

          When I potted up Princess Alexandra of Kent yesterday I had to prune back a couple of stray branches, so I have turned them into cuttings. Never grown rose cuttings before but hopefully at least one of the four will take.

            Evelyn is rather gorgeous :wub2:

            A couple of my new David Austin roses are flowering.

            Teasing Georgia (again) which is fast becoming my favourite rose ...

            This is a patio rose which I bought from Morrisons for a few quid (it was being sold as an indoor plant). It's four plants in one pot so will split it in Autumn ...

            I didn't think I was keen on yellow roses, but they are fast becoming my favourites, especially when blended with pink :wub2:
