Rose report

You're most welcome Reetgood. It's a shame your rose has been damaged. You could put netting round but it's a bit of hassle. I break in half and push some of the small green garden canes into the ground about six inches apart and about the same in height creating a barrier about two or three deep, it stops them from leaving there calling card too. I do the same for my pots and planters during the winter when they are empty.

 

I'll pop outside (when I'm decent) with my tape measure and find out I'm hopeless at measuring things by eye, but, I'm guessing mine is more likely "Ballerina" now.

 

I've got 'Ballerina' too "M" I'll take a picture later , I'm the same with measuring things by eye its only really noticable as I have the two to compare

 

Argh it's so close. First rose on my first rose.



It pretty much is that neon. Silver jubilee, coming up much more vibrant colour than I expected. Can't wait for it to open. Think I need more roses so I stop obsessing about this one.

 

Another pic of Whisky Mac

and

Climbing Iceberg....

 

Reetgood, It's nearly there! Are you checking it as soon as you get up in the morning like I did.

Loli, your Whisky Mac is stunning, such a lovely colour.

 

The second rose is unusual Armandii, it could easily be mistaken for a Paeony flower.

 

In the morning, in the evening, whilst working from the garden every hour or so.... :D

 

This is peering through the trellis we share with our neighbour and is starting to flower well. The evening sun made it glow and I thought I would share it with you.
I'm sure my neighbour won't mind

 

That's a pretty rose Jenny.

 

Yes it is Sheal but I don't know it's name. It is prone to powdery mildew later on unfortunately.

She's here!



Not that I was checking or anything....

 

She's a cracker Reetgood..... What's her name please?
