    Hi folks. Not a question, more a synopsis.
    It's been a long and VERY hard winter, and this year I lost a LOT of plants especially in my tropical area. But, it's nice to see that my roses are making good growth. I was one of those that USED to think that roses are boring, but I have learned the error of my ways, maybe it's a sign that I'm getting old ? :) Anyway, I wouldn't be without them now. They can always be relied upon to give a nice display right through the late spring and summer, fabulous :)
    Peace (my favourite rose) be upon thee :)
    Cheers...freddy.

    Every best wish for your roses Freddy.
    I only moved into this garden (well space) 2 years ago and always loved roses.
    I've planted roses to cover fences and trellis, which I have put there,
    So far, the results have been disappointing.
    Bring on the roses !
    Hope yours do great - and mine get a wiggle on!
