My little rose garden

There is a definite change in the weather today. Its really blustery and much milder. I don't know if the wind has changed direction or what?? decided to get rid of the triangle border shift the chimney pots on the right hand side of the garden clear up everything and make sure there's plenty of space for little chimney to play. The basket of garden toys have had their annual spring scrub and ive just got to get some sand and a soft big ball and were ready to go i think.

 

Dragged some toys and chimneys and trees out of the way today on the right hand side of the garden to give little chimney more space. they were full of soil and i couldn't clean it up today as little one spotted a snail and ran inside. Will put weed control down until i can re turf it.

 

a smile for woo

Roses are struggling with the weather. know wev'e had had it mild compared to some but here are the first three sections of the rose border.
cream section

orange section


Red section

 

They look better than mine CRG. With the heavy snow we had just before Easter it's delayed them quite a bit and they're only just starting to show buds.

 

can anyone tell me what hose fitting would go on this

 

nice healthy yorkminster

Any ideas?

 

That doesn't look very well CRG. I presume it's been sprayed? Is it close to the other roses and are they okay?

 

THe roses around are fine all sprayed and fed the spots are redderthan in the pic??

 

I don't think it's black spot, it looks more like rust and the colour suggests that too but it's usually found on the under side of the leaves. If it is rust you'll have to treat it the same as black spot and destroy the leaves, the spores will survive in the ground like those of black spot too. I'm sorry I can't be more certain CRG, perhaps another member can be of more help.

 

WE have buds. Lots of them not long now
