Members Roses 2024

Now I'm back at my house in France. I think I've missed a lot as there is loads of dead heading. There are a few flowers out.

Jardin de Granville. This is it's first year and the first flowers I've seen. It was in bud when I left. A friend has it and hers had flowers like hybrid tea roses with pointy middles. Maybe it's like this when it's finishing.


Graham Thomas has got very tall and my phone has made the yellow much deeper.


Golden Celebration


Burgundy Ice.


Lady Emma Hamilton

 

Like that Burgundy Ice @Busy-Lizzie but I've no room at all for any more.

 

I too like your Burgundy Ice @Busy-Lizzie . My Emma Hamilton has died.

 

Sad about your Emma H @Obelix-Vendée.

The flowers of Burgundy Ice are pretty but the bush is a bit spindly and the leaves tend to drop off after it's flowered.

 

It never really thrived @Busy-Lizzie. Quite a few of my DA roses here seem to drop their leaves after flowering or just go generally feeble looking so this year I've been very careful about pruning and feeding them but with only Malvern Hills showing appreciation.

Two years ago I took some cuttings and the ones that succeeded - Lark Ascending, Summer Song, Breathless Charm (one parent is DA Graham Thomas) - seem to be doing much better than their parent plants. I shall have to up the spreading of muck and mulch this autumn.

 

Olivia Rose Austin and Open Arms have come out. They are still babies.

 

3 pink roses.

Friendly, Meilland


Boscobel, David Austin


Emera, Meilland

 

I wish more rose people from GW had joined this thread, it would have been much livelier. I think @Mrs Hillard said a lot of them had gone to an American Forum.

 

ROSES.. UK/Europe - Part 2..

They are here @Busy-Lizzie.

But it's not that lively as @Mrs Hillard is down sizing her collection and has taken a bit of a step back. However there is more chat about roses there.

 

Agree @Busy-Lizzie , I miss the roses thread from GW.

Here's Gabriel Oak just opening

 

Still a few buds on Phyllis Bide
