ONLY A ROSE - 2015

Good morning @Apple Blossom when you are ready just ask away we are all here to help each other[/QUOTE]

Good Morning @wiseowl, thank you, the sun is just coming out !

The rose is at the back of the house in good afternoon sun, no wonder it is doing well. The trellis, not sure if you would call it that is very old and broken. I have cane trellis which is much prettier but not sure if this would be strong enough or the correct type for a climbing rose? What should I use to tie it in and how? Your advice would be helpful before I start sorry for so many questions

 

Hi, just taken some photos, thank you for all the information, very useful. I have seen your wire method around the walls of the house here and there, one for a honeysuckle which is nicely grown back after a good ' pruning'.



I think it has been tied in with string yuk!



And look one has opened, but fear it hasn't had much chance as its leaning against the wall.

I have purchased these.... Only because I thought they were neater and maybe easier for me to use but I very much like your ideas and maybe a job for Mr AB at the weekend

 

That's fantastic Wiseowl or with your permission Woo?.

I agree, it did cover the whole window and was left to grow up through the guttering. I think your advice is perfect and maybe this picture further away will be better showing what a good position that is. And I think maybe the wire method may be better?



I'm not sure what the plants to the left are as I'm on a waiting game to see what materialises and will then make a decision of what to do with them

This is what it looked like when we moved in.....

 

@Apple Blossom, you have already made a lot of progress in your garden, you should be very proud. The transformation between those two photos above is brilliant , bit by bit little by little you will have a gorgeous garden .

 

Awww your so lovely Beckie, and always inspire me to crack on its beautiful today ful sun so currently digging another dead root out

 

Think this rose will be much happier now.....



And after the clear up



Coffee break over, back to that root now!

 

Good afternoon.... Not sure what rose it is but I will as your suggestion pull the side ones out, thank you ............Done

I wonder if I could ask for your expertise, I have been digging a dead root out and having got to this stage I'm worried that the small rose is a new growth from it, can I cut the root? Will the one shown survive? Or am I best just pulling all of it out and purchasing some new ones on your recommendations

 

Mmmmmmmmm yes

 

@wiseowl, not sure about the penny farthing as to be honest since we've moved I've spent most of my time between work, garden and garden centres, I must visit Lyndhust as I've heard a lot about it nice to know that you have visited the area. Always a cuppa and piece of cake here if you both are passing this way again
